Bill O'Reilly loses out to Karl Rove on immigration reform debate

Ritmomente, how many of those laborers, carpenters, plumbers, roofers, plasterers, nannys, waitresses, dishwashers and housecleaners are part of our 17.1% unemployed?

Well I don't agree with amnesty either. If they're paying a fine, by definition, it is not amnesty.

allentown, if they can't work, they can't afford a plane ticket. now you've got more homeless. Plus, if you in one instant fire 12,000,000,000 people, good luck finding a laborer, carpenter, plumber, roofer, plaster, nanny, waitress, dishwasher, or housecleaner. Talk about an economical meltdown.

I think the whole border problem is a discrase

Senator Bennett, the Republican Senator from Utah who voted for amnesty was defeated last week in the Republican primary by both Republicans running against him. The November changes are starting early.

Hey, murphy66 -- right on! let's do tear that fence down and make this a Catholic country! When do you want to start? Cheers.

>>How is it possible to deport 12,000,000 illegal aliens?<< You don't deport them. You prevent them from finding work. They go home voluntarily. It's called manditory E-Verify with harsh enforcement against violating employers.

not 12,000,000 in one shot Fran. There are 300,000,000 documented citizens here and 12,000,000,000 undocumented immigrants. How is it possible for us to deport all of them? Who's going to pay for it? Does anyone have data on the cost per person to deport? And lock the border tight. We deserve to know every individual that is in this country and crosses our border.

Ritmomente, check your history. We can deport millions of illegals. In fact, we've done it in the past.

so closing the border isn't a "real policy"? nobody, O"Dowd, ritmomnte has the courage to answer the question: "how many aliens, immigrants (legal/illegal) is enough ? a few more came last night and the few more each day will amount to a whole lot more by the end of the year, eg and we let hundreds of thousands of aliens in every year legally without "special skills", unless the ability to pick tomatoes and strawberries is a "special skill"

Monsoonman wouldn't like that either, murphy66. If you're not W.A.S.P., you're not welcome in his country.

Remove the border. Turn America into a Catholic country sooner than later.

Ad nauseam. You have 12,000,000 people inside our borders. It is physically and fiscally impossible to deport all of them. If every one of them comes forward and pays a fine for being here without a visa, we would make money instead of spending it on deportation. You set up a method for people to come through legally (there isn't one other than by marriage or the extreme cases of special skills or asylum). You secure your borders completely. Those that do not abide by the corrected system are the true criminals. There have been undocumented people here for decades who have social security numbers, bank accounts, pay taxes and have families but no means towards legal citizenship. Show me how the current broken and unenforceable laws make this happen.

We should have just have a check in station to: (1) accept your return ticket so you can always go home; (2) give a free physical for communicable diseases; (3) hand out id cards to prove you're in the country "legally"; and (4) say "welcome". Point to the Statue of Liberty and say "go to it folks". All this, right after we ended all the "welfare" for everyone -- corporations, citizens, and non-citizens.

Ritmomente, The mexican should not be in the US to begin with unless she thre LEGALLY!!!
