Illegal Immigration: Should we deport all illegal immigrants we find in the U.S.

Hello, "Your solution would only make it easier for those outside the country now to become citizens" -Thank you for stating the obvious. That is the point. If it is easier to immigrate in legally, they won't immigrate illegally. This solves the problem. "It would do nothing to stop the ones already in" -Stop them from what? It would stop them from continuing to be illegal aliens. "Deportion is a PUNISHMENT ITS SUPPOST TO BE!!!!!" -It is deportation, actually. I was aware that what "ITS SUPPOST TO BE!!!!!!" is a solution to the problem of illegal immigrants, not a chance to get revenge. I hardly imagine it necessary to fund a large project, which would hurt society, just for revenge. Why do you need to punish? Despite whether they "should" be punished, we must transcend what people do or do not deserve, republicanview. "With the illegals taking jobs for lower wages the impoverished who need the money at the bare minimum wage arent getting the job" Correct…Solution: turn the illegal aliens into citizens so they get payed minimum wage, just like everyone else. Problem solved. Also, they would be Americans, so people like you would not have to complain about them taking jobs from Americans…because they are Americans! Maybe that would make you feel a little better inside. AS to the thing with the children; there is no getting around it…There will be very, very ugly consequences to doing as you suggest. So many children (my estimate being at about AT LEAST 3 million children based on about 15 million aliens; though it is almost certainly more) would be orphaned. That would truly be horrible. Everyone "deserves" a good life. Period. That does not mean that we should go out of our way to make sure that everyone gets that. After all, life's not fair, but essentially everyone "deserves" a good life. I never, Never stated that they should be given money or anything. I never even mentioned the constitution or any civil rights, but you brought it up…A TRUE American would want to share his rights with all. He would work to give others the blessings to which he is secured, for there are certain unalieble rights and that all men are created equal, republicanview. Do you truly understand the philosophies of the constitution, or do you only care of the strictly legal aspect, and ignore the vision to which the founding fathers set forth? "As you say if the illegals cost us 789,263,000,000 billion dollars compared to 16,000,000,000 they bring in its the goverments duty to do whats best 4 the people to GET RIDE OF THEM AND DEPORT DEPORT DEPORT!!!" -First of all, I would like to remind you that the term "illegals" is not a real word. My spellcheck apparently agrees with me…. Now, ALL of the problems of illegal immigration you stated their, could EASILY be solved with my solution. If they were citizens, they would no longer keep costing the government so much money. MY solution is what is "best 4 the people". I have proved this various times, while you just continue to state why illegal immigration is a problem. AS for your compromise, It is still to drastic. The least we change while still solving the proble, the least harmful side-effects it will have on society (Deportation is not for everyone…ask your doctor about deportation to see if it's right for you, side-effects may include nausea, coughing, diarrhea, vomiting, drowsiness…). I do not see wqhy we can't turn them into citizens WHILE THEY ARE HERE.
