We should get rid of illegal aliens.

My not so worthy opponent obviously does not seem to realize the implications of giving amnesty to EVERY ILLEGAL ALIEN IN THE COUNTRY!!!! You would have to be stupid to not realize the implications of this statement. That would add well over 20 million people to the US. (http://ohmygov.com...) Now, that wouldn't be to bad if we stopped the tide of illegals and said "IF you cross this border illegally, we will shoot you. Without question, man, woman, or child." This may make me sound heartless and cruel, however this is one of, if not the only way, to deal with these people. In response to #5- yes, you are virtually comparing the US to Nazi Germany. I beg to differ on the ease with which deportation can be accomplished. Here is an easy solution- 1. Check the schools- many illegals put their kids into school because these days it is illegal to ask for a social security number. Get rid of that stupid law and check for anyone without a ss number. They are illegal. 2. Impose a flat tax- This means legal, illegal, criminal, rich person, or middle class, you pay taxes. Get rid of all of the other taxes and make this- every time you buy something, you are taxed. Simple. Effective. 3. Arrest any illegals for 3+ weeks (then deport)- To deter them from coming back. 4. Any with criminal record: jail them- They want to run away from their home government, fine. Try us and you'll get tried. In a court. With a jury. 5. Plant an impenetrable wall of cacti at the border (not joking)- If you get stuck, you stay stuck. They would die on the border fence and not get over. Failing this, shooting anyone that hops over works just as well. Think of it this way- If you came home and found that someone had broken into your house. So you go to the government and say, "Hey- get them out of my house!" But the government says, "But why? They didn't do anything wrong. They cleaned your house and mowed your lawn and tended to your garden. We can't make them leave." So they live in your basement for a few days, until one day, the father comes up. He says, "I would like to send my children to private school. You have to pay." So you go to the government very angrily. You shouldn't have to pay for them, they are just in your house, you say. However, the government thinks otherwise. "Not only do you have to pay for their children's schooling, but you have to pay to feed and clothe them." You wouldn't let this happen in your house, so... Why are you letting it happen in your own country? Regular people are having to pay for schooling, housing, food, and clothes for these criminals (as they are criminals). The reason why I HATE illegal immigrants is because my mother is English by birth (I am an American citizen and a British citizen). So when my mum came to the US, it took literally years to get her to become a US citizen. She's been here for 17 years and only got her citizenship last August. It is not fair that legal immigrants have to go through years of terrifying government bullying, just to be able to become a part of the US. Illegal aliens hop over the border and wait for the government to get fed up with them and give them amnesty- the single stupidest thing you could possibly do. It is not our job to fix the economies of the world (like Mexico) and whenever we do, we get slammed two years later for trying. Shut up with the stupid "ethnic cleansing" crap. It's insulting. And don't go picking this statement apart either. If we let them all become Americans, and Obama gets his National Healthcare Plan through, we have to pay for all of these unworthy American people. Here is another thing to consider- once these "immigrants" (criminals) become older, they have no pension etc.- the poverty rate in the US rises, and there starts another economic crash (not directly) and we have a second Great Depression.
