"When they're caught"

That's a rare when.

There is no need to do anything more than *enforce existing laws*.

Dallas now accepts Mexican consulate ID's for anything.

This is the ID you give a cop, or the license bureau, bank - it means 
you are an illegal alien, and unable to produce documents that legal 
residents get.

This doesn't make a lot of sense.

Te only way an illegal gets deported is to be caught at the border, or 
one of these ocassional "round ups".

Reality is that they an operate in all ways that a legal citizen can, 
with no need to fret their illegality.

This is insane.

So, the system is so complicated, we have to ignore it.

If we simply enforced the same standards we do with other lawbreakers, 
there would be no need for this "proving of a right to be here".

After they realize that the US does not welcome illegal immigration, and 
the instances of success are the exception - only then will things 
change.

As it is, the breakdown in immigration control is one of the most 
serious issues this country faces. That's because they are exploitable, 
and protected by the Racism Police.

If by chance the borders are overrun by conservative white men from 
other countries, then you'll see an outcry.

I don;pt ccare if they are green - they're outta here.

There is no statistic whatsoever to suggest that, even if in fact it 
mattered.

As most do, you define this as argument about racism. Either you are 
cluseless, or agenda-driven. Either way, there's not a single 
identifiable advantage to lax immigration. The only people that dispute 
this are American liberals, and the arguments are based on racism or the 
noble savage theory.

Frankly, this line of argument is hilarious.

The premise is from the twilight zone. And somehow, even if this 
upper-management infestation of illegals existed, it is indicacitve of 
the advantages of illegal immigration.

You lose on all counts.

Wow, workers need to be trained.

We need to import illiterate rurals from a third world country becaue we 
just don't have enough people smart enought to run a freakin' drive-thru.

There you go with your only argument, this alleged racism.

When a legal immigrant voices the same concerns I and others do 
concerning illegal immigration, what do you use for logic then?

How do you think they feel, having worked hard to get here, following 
the laws (remember, we are a nation of laws), just to have others skip 
the line?

This actually bolsters your argument about having to import intellect, I 
know several legal immigrants that might consider your acumen on this 
subject somewhat...ignorant.

As opposed to arguments based on pure emotion, with absolutely no fact 
or logic to bolster.

None. There's  no need to. Take away the back-door bypass to existing 
laws, and fewer people will die in the desert.

You have it precisely backwards.

There you go again..."ethnic cleansing".

You are very far from understanding the realities of this issue. Until 
you overcome your prejudices, you will continue to advocate a 
nonsensical position. You simply don't have a clue.
