#1 If I wasn't born in this country I would be spending all of my adult life trying to get myself and my kids here ... probably even risking our lifes to do so.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to live here. It is a good "problem" to have. I don't mind people coming here that want to work. I wish we could exchange them for some people who were born here and don't want to work.

#2 Solution: She moves to Hidalgo and they live happily in love ever after. Problem solved.

#3 nice pic - she looks like Kathy Bates as Annie in "Misery". Note the constant efforts to play the guilt card on everyone by conjoining legal and illegal immigration, in this case:
"It impacts also documented immigrants because families tend to be of a mixed status. Hurting one individual hurts the entire family. It creates an unwelcoming atmosphere to all immigrants, whether legal or not," said David Ferreira of the U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.

yup "documented" vs "undocumented", just a minor detail....f*&king lying a-holes

#5 I know several mixed families, and they face some nightmarish situations. Probably the worst are the illegals who were brought here as infants and are totally assimilated into American culture. They know nothing of Mexico, know nobody in Mexico, and their language is English. A brief interview shows they are American in every way but the paperwork.

I'll also add in passing that there are at least 50,000 illegal Irish immigrants in the US, that few seem terribly enthusiastic about deporting.

#6 hmmmm - are they in the millions? how about perspective, Moose?

Who's really at fault of anchor-baby familys or the situation you describe? The American taxpayer? No. The assholes that exposed their families to this situation and expect the charity of America to make it right. The $23 billion sent out of teh country is rarely realistically cited (if at all) in studies showing that illegals are an economic plus. Neither are the real drags on schools, hospitals, insurance rates, etc. Build the wall, then solve what to do with those already here. Stop the influx first. We'll have time for balancing good vs bad later if the flood stops
