48. I'm not
I think we should kick all of the illegals out of here and keep them out.

Canadians who live here usually make sure they go back to Canada for a few months every year to keep their residency and health care in effect.

The Mexicans who come here usually use "public" facilities for health care at taxpayer expense as they have no health care insurance. Lou Dobbs has constant reports on small cities in AZ where the local hospitals are absorbing millions in expense for illegal aliens using their facilities and never paying. Year after year. The taxpayers absorb this. Up north here, they do the same.

I also think the illegals lower the wages for American citizens. Employers love the illegals as the employers can pay them less than minimum wage, give them no benefits, etc.

Does "free trade zone" mean we are supposed to keep absorbing large numbers of the Mexican population or something?

I doubt if any of these illegals are filing income tax, wouldn't you agree.

I am a big believer in solid borders, north and south. I would also heavily fine employers for using illegal workers so they don't keep doing it.

Let all of these illegals file for legal immigration and wait their turn, like a lot of people in other countries do.
