The 14th Amendment is being abused by those who come here illegally. Illegal alien law breakers should be deported back to their home country, along with any children they've had while they're illegally squatting where they don't belong! Anchor babies are just a bad excuse for bad behavior. No more anchor babies!!!

When our country deports mother's and father's who have U.S citizen born children, in my clear opinion this criminal on our part. We have violated the rights of the U.S citizen born child by seperating the mother or father of that child. Plain and simple.

Comprehensive Reform is code for amnesty. Why should these law violators jump to the front of the line ahead of people who have waited 10 years or more? And if you knew your history, you'd know that the 1986 amnesty was a total failure. I guess repeating the same thing is a good idea, huh? You hand illegals citizenship and another 20 million come rushing over the border, just like after 1986. And stop with the racist nonsense. This has nothing to do with ethnicity, it has to do with enforcing law so overburdened taxpayers who are sick of picking up the tab can get some relief. 30% of prisons are filled with illegals, billions of dollars to educate their children, billions more to pay for their health care (emergency rooms aren't clinics for illegals), and even billions more in food stamps, housing assistance, and other social and welfare programs. I'll tell you what, why don't you and your liberal friends pay for all this waste, huh? Oh, but I forgot about the increased violent crime, ID theft, overcrowded classrooms, uninsured driving accidents...nevermind. Even if you pay for them, they still need to go! Get a clue Ivan!

I agree with Clinton to secure the borders. I tend to be more conservative on immigration even though I am a Democrat.

Whether to refer to these people as "undocumented" or "illegal" should be discussed. There is also a major culture clash going on that I don't think a lot of citizens appreciate. it's almost as if "they" being "undocumented" or "illegal" really don't want to integrate with out culture and it creates these third world areas. I am afraid that Hillary Clinton who to me is the best suited might lose the presidency to someone like Mitt Romney because of this and that would be a tragedy in itself. Mitt Romney's anti immigration stance while popular also has a mean spirit about it.

Newsflash to all the Billy Bobbs in America: a comprehensive immigration reform is a matter of when, not if. And it is the right thing to do. Republicans will find out in November that their disgusting attitude toward anybody who isn't a white-anglo-saxon-protestant is a loser in a diverse America. Rove told them so-alienating LEGAL Latinos will make sure that the GOP is the permanent minority party in our caountry for decades to come!!!

Alien: adj. 1. foreign; strange 2.of aliens. n. 1. a foreigner 2. a foreigh-born resident who is not naturalized 3. a hypothetical being from outer space.
Any person in the USA without proper paperwork is an Illegal Alien. Without naturalization or citizenship, any person who is here with proper documentation is a guest and/or visitor. Once that documentation expires, the guest/visitor status is no longer, and the person becomes an illegal alien.
