"Illegal" immigrants are the cause of many of America's problems and if are not acclimating or trying to go through the lawful process of becoming a citizen, should be rounded up and shipped out.

An immigrant going through the lawful process of becoming an American citizen while acclimating to freedom as we know it should be given every opportunity to do so. Those that do this should be welcomed and valued.

Determining which is which is not an easy task, nor is protecting the greatest nation on earth, freedom and it's people.

Freedom didn't come easy, in fact, it was very difficult. IMO difficult decisions in regards to "illegal" immigration must be made. Not for one second do I claim to have the answer but I'm pretty confident in saying how we deal with "illegal" immigrants at the moment is not working. Figure out what works best and do that, whatever that may be.

Without Hispanics and Latinos, a lot of work vital to our nation would not get done. That's a fact. From fruit and vegetable growing and harvest to slaughterhouses, they are needed. Economic realities dictate we reassess any number of archaic immigration policies so as to better protect this nation and those who would exploit workers not from the United States. "Green card or no green card" simply does not fathom the realities that exist within our own economy and in Mexico and other South American countries.
