Poll: Majority of US citizens say illegal immigrants should be deported.
http://news.msn.com/politics/poll-majority-of-us-citizens-say-illegal-immigrants-should-be-deported
Deporting all or most illegal immigrants drew 75 percent support from Republicans and 40 percent from Democrats.
WASHINGTON — More than half of U.S. citizens believe that most or all of the country's 11 million illegal immigrants should be deported, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released Wednesday that highlights the difficulties facing lawmakers trying to reform the U.S. immigration system.
The online survey shows resistance to easing immigration laws despite the biggest push for reform in Congress since 2007.
Thirty percent of those polled think that most illegal immigrants, with some exceptions, should be deported while 23 percent believe all illegal immigrants should be deported.
Only 5 percent believe all illegal immigrants should be allowed to stay in the U.S. legally, and 31 percent want most illegal immigrants to stay.
These results are in line with other polls in recent years, suggesting that people's views on immigration have not changed dramatically since the immigration debate reignited in Congress last month, according to Ipsos pollster Julia Clark.
"It's not Americans' views that are shifting. It is that the political climate is ripe for this discussion" after the November election when Hispanics voted overwhelmingly in favor of Democratic President Barack Obama, she said.
"Democrats feel that the time is right to capitalize on their wins, and Republicans feel that they had a bad blow and are eager to reach out to Hispanics," she added.

2013-1994= 19 years = voting age = all of the invader spawn are now voting age, and 85% of the females have reproduced, 55% of those more than once ... 75% of the total were out of wedlock. Prop 187 would have saved us, but now we are doomed.
from 1984 to 1994 the first amnesty resulted in a flood of invaders, but they wanted to be Americans. After 1994 they knew they did not have to bother being Ameircans, and they just came/come as roaches - living off the welfare, keeping the liberal dems in power in mexifornia, laughing all the way.

.. they are still citizens of Mexico regardless if they were born in the USA.. since their parents are legal citizens of Mexico and therefore by their own constitution .. born as Mexican citizens. Even more so since they are illegal and undocumented they fall under the Mexican constitution. Has any Congressman stated this ! or just not PC !
As such to this day.. none have renounced their citizenship to Mexico.

Nationality by birth (According to the 30th article of the Constitution of Mexico, there are two ways in which a person can acquire the Mexican nationality, by birth and by naturalization)
The constitution declares that Mexicans by birth (born Mexicans) include the following:[1]
individuals born in Mexican territory regardless of the nationality of their parents;
individuals born abroad if one or both of their parents was a Mexican national born in Mexican territory;
individuals born abroad if one or both of their parents was a Mexican national by naturalization; and
individuals born in Mexican merchant or Navy ships or Mexican merchant or Army aircraft

Someone born in the USA is a US citizen-per our constitution.

We do not have jurisdiction over Mexican citizens per their and our own laws...
no.. not everyone born in the USA is a US citizen.. since they were NOT
registered as being here to begin with.. and therefore under foreign jurisdiction. Our Constitution repeatedly talks of jurisdictions.. read it some time...
As is the case of some traveler passing through the US from one end to another.. say Mexico to Canada doesnt mean their newborn is automatic US Citizen.
unless you are ready to arbitrarily kidnap foreign nationalists and strip them of their
inalienable rights they were born with..... so they can vote for your party!
some real extreme case of voter fraud wouldnt you say...

Why is it that tea party types love to wallow in ignorance and then quote the constitution-making such a mockery of it. Or do you just enjoy trolling. How on earth does Mexico have jurisdiction on US soil?? Now if it were an embassy or certain places-like where McCain was born in Panama-yes that is considered soveriegn territory. But otherwise Mexico does not have jurisdiction in the US.
Are you now claiming that if a Mexican citizen is wanted there and he flees to the USA, then Mexican police and army can cross over here and arrest him?? Mexico's jurisdiction ends in Mexico-end of matter. The USA may be obligated by the treaties they have signed-but again it is an option/agreement and vice versa.
Sigh...

Now on the other hand, if the US does not have birth right citizenship-then they would not be citizens. Some European countries have that-where at least one parent is required to be a citizen-for the child to be a citizen. Else, even if you are born there, you are not a citizen and that is the law. Japan is quite similar in that regard I believe.

no.. not everyone born in the USA is a US citizenThe supreme court has already decided they are, so dipstick wong is wrong again... like usual.
and your source is ?
Some people have no citizenship because the country they were bored in doesn't give citizenship.
Their parents' country doesn't give citizenship if you don't bore on its land.
Now if it were an embassy or certain places-like where McCain was born in Panama-yes that is considered soveriegn territory
actually not the case until 1937 regarding citizenship. it wasnt sovereign territory..perhaps not even the Philippine bases were either.
thomaswrong: the child can choose, as both countries have laws granting the child citizenship.
mr wrong: are you too stupid or lazy to look up the relevant case law?
here, I'll help:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural-born-citizen_clause#Court_decisions
and you pull up a case of which the parents who were registered US permanent residents.. who legally entered the US who had a child within the borders legally.
this is different from both current laws for both Mexican Citizens and US laws
concerning illegal residents... else why do we deport them back ?

it seems your the one wrong.. but no surprise there!
The whole idea of making some human beings "illegal" is absurd. Our rights are born with us when are born as human beings, not granted by government. The government simply has no say over who is "illegal" for being; our rights should not be defined by bureaucratic documents. There should be no "status" except for everyone being equal in front of the law. There is Constitutional prohibition against rank and title.
From a practical perspective, laws that ban "illegal" human beings are bound to be even harder to enforce and would require even more cumbersome and costly bureaucracy than war on "illegal" drugs . . . because human beings are even more mobile than drugs: human beings have legs and can move themselves without help. Any law or bureaucracy to seriously enforce against that natural right mobility is bound to be extremely intrusive to people who seek to benefit from the superior status of being "legal" to begin with.
Yeah. calling people "invader spawn" and "cockroaches" not only makes you a raving racist,
what do you call the so called Coyote smugglers...who kill and rape their prey...
how about we call it "human trafficking" much of it with huge loans to pay off
either with criminal activity like drug smuggling and prostitution within our borders.
Its a global problem.. be it Africa, Asia, Europe or North America.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_smuggling
Picture of smuggled persons deported and brought back to Pakistan. Picture belongs to Ansar Burney Trust - but I can use it can be used as long as credit is given to them.
Human trafficking and sex slavery in human trafficking are largely the result of government laws against migration. The enslavement usually consists of taking away the document paper. The dynamics of human trafficking is very similar to drug trafficking: prohibition leads to criminality.
The whole idea of making some human beings "illegal" is absurd.
People smuggling between the United States and Mexico is a booming business that, as of 2003, garnered over $5 billion a year.[8] Similarly, in the EU, profits from people smuggling operations is estimated to be around €4 billion per year.
People smuggling is a dangerous operation and has frequently resulted in the death of those individuals being smuggled. In 2004, 464 recorded deaths took place during the crossing from Mexico to the United States, and each year, an estimated 2000 people drown in the Mediterranean on the journey from Africa into Europe.[9]

It is not invasion because the arriving do not seek political overlordship over the existing population.
Slavery in human trafficking is largely the result of laws against migration that strips natural rights from migrants and place them in a lower and vulnerable legal status. That's why the typical slavers take away the victims' "papers" and threaten to call the police as their enforcers.
The sad thing is that, just as libertarians argued for a long time that slavery would be hard to enforce without slave-return laws enforced by the government, the immigration police is being used by the slavers and human traffickers as slave-return service.

that leaves .. building a freaking tall strong wall and policing our borders to stop this.

Neither the wall nor the staff to patrol it is free.
The real solution is: reducing welfare, combined with free migration! If the migrant worker knows he/she can come back easily the next time, then he/she is far more likely to voluntarily move back to Mexico (or whatever other country) during our recession, to spend more time with his/her family in a place where cost of living is lower. When the next time our economy is booming, more labor is needed, they can come back to build more houses or whatever else. This easy migration policy would also shunt out the "illegal"/legally unemployable youth from becoming foot soldiers to gangs just to make a living and stay in this country.
It isn't a CRIMINAL act to be here illegally,
LOL! lovely! see the deportations made by mexico on their southern borders...
Not to mention that new tall fench with barbs they are putting up manned with troops.
Guess the Mexican are racists too i guess sending all those illegals back home...
no talk in Mexico about 'pathway to citizenship" or "amnesty"
You can pretty much see many other nations making sure illegal criminal activity is stopped.
make a reasonable policy for immigrants, and 99% of the human smuggling goes away.
we have a reasonable immigration policy that has worked well over the years... and many from all over the world have filed their paper work and will enter legally.
50% of illegal immigrants overstay a visa. They came in legally... and just didn't leave. How does your wall stop that?
I would stick a $500 bounty on their head.. could create a great new industry...
Alive of course.. $500 collected from the illegal immigrant captured. Not taxpayer funded.
'Bounty hunters' hired to track down illegal immigrants
More than 170,000 immigrants refused leave to stay in Britain are to be tracked down by private-sector “bounty huntersâ€.
The support services firm Capita will earn up to £40million if it finds all of the migrants identified by the UK Border Agency who may be living in the country illegally.
But it was claimed by MPs that the company will be “laughing all the way to the bank†as its four-year contract does not specify how many people it has to remove.
Rob Whiteman, chief executive of UKBA, told the Home Affairs Select Committee: “The contract is on payment by results, where they will make contact with potential overstayers from our records.
“The potential value of the contract, if they performed very well over a four-year period, would be around £40 million.

calling people roaches...
I never called anyone a name but only insinuated their breeding patterns and if criminal is to harsh of a term for you , I"ll just express the term LAWLESSNESS to which Hispanics are a major contributor of our nations prison industrial complex
when people come in illegally and in such numbers they do not or will not assimilate I.E. american culture, language, etc. they are a threat to the american society as a whole. this propaganda about "there is no illegal people" is b.s. propaganda plain and simple. the only people who can argue the obvious are the people violating our immigration laws or their offspring. but, that is human nature. if I were mexican I would jump the border too. free medical ,welfare, make sure to have a kid and your home free. school and hiring preference,etc. the real question is why our government turns its back and allows illegal aliens? that is where the problem lies is our failure of a government. I am rapidly losing faith in whats left of this country. they have done nothing for years and now try to say its to late to do anything. why?

well lucky for us the Mexican Government has put up a southern borders fence manned by armed troops to stop illegal trespassing onto their territory...
they have also instituted voter ID cards...
they also managed to get foreign investments to build factories to build stuff to sell
to the rest of the world increasing incomes for their people....
Govt dont seem to be concerned over global warming either...
Sounds like they are doing some things right as we just sit there listening to some
Liberals about human rights, global warming... and how to go Vegan!
Key Findings
Illegal immigration costs U.S. taxpayers about $113 billion a year at the federal, state and local level. The bulk of the costs — some $84 billion — are absorbed by state and local governments.
The annual outlay that illegal aliens cost U.S. taxpayers is an average amount per native-headed household of $1,117. The fiscal impact per household varies considerably because the greatest share of the burden falls on state and local taxpayers whose burden depends on the size of the illegal alien population in that locality
Education for the children of illegal aliens constitutes the single largest cost to taxpayers, at an annual price tag of nearly $52 billion. Nearly all of those costs are absorbed by state and local governments.

You of all people should be asking someone to do some research. Considering you spout rubbish and stick to it all costs. What part of being born in the US making you a US citizen do you not get. Just because you have a belief, does not make it fact. Reasearch before posting gibberish. Why does Mexico giving someone citizenship affect what happens to a US citizen here? They are a US citizen and if Mexico gives them citizenship-then they are a dual citizen. Lets see what gibberish you come up with now to support your crazy beliefs-you may not be a teabagger-but you act like one that has a sign saying-get the gubmnt off my medicare.thomaswong.1986 says
actually not the case until 1937 regarding citizenship. it wasnt sovereign
territory..perhaps not even the Philippine bases were either.
In the land of fruits and nuts as usual. You know this is 2013-since 1937 many things have happened, Nazism was defeated and so was Hitler. A new nation called Israel was born, the Soviet Union collapsed, man landed on the moon , we now have satellites up in the sky , the Germany split and merged again and we even dropped an atomic bomb on Japan.
Illegal immigration costs U.S. taxpayers about $113 billion a year at the federal, state and local level. The bulk of the costs — some $84 billion — are absorbed by state and local governments.
The solution to government waste is not to introduce more government waste. What you are suggesting is essentially equivalent to: because the government wastes a lot of money overpaying road building, let's waste more money banning cars!
The annual outlay that illegal aliens cost U.S. taxpayers is an average amount per native-headed household of $1,117. The fiscal impact per household varies considerably because the greatest share of the burden falls on state and local taxpayers whose burden depends on the size of the illegal alien population in that locality
The bulk of that money is paid to American citizens who hold government jobs. The "illegal aliens" are just an excuse for such transfers.
Education for the children of illegal aliens constitutes the single largest cost to taxpayers, at an annual price tag of nearly $52 billion. Nearly all of those costs are absorbed by state and local governments.
In other words, it's Americans paying Americans in an inefficient educational monopoly. Do you actually believe any of the students in the public school system is getting the money's worth in brainwashing?
