 Uh... trillian dollar war, $110 billion for welfare for illegals
 over that period? Assuming that is correct.

 DD> 2.  $2.2 Billion dollars a year is spent on food assistance

 DD> Since you GREEDY Americans want Slave-labor, you can blame

 Not true. We greedy Americans do not want slave labor, nor do we
 want illegal aliens. Now some buisnees people do, and some of
 the wealthy, but we ordinarly working Americans don't.

 ...

 DD> Lawmakers allow slave labor due to lax penalties. Now we

 So boot them out.

 DD> Many illegals would like to pay into the tax system but
 DD> they cannot because they're illegal aliens.

 False. Many illegal aliens do pay into the tax system. Many
 illegal aliens hold legitimate jobs, even though they hold them
 illegitimately.

 DD> You hate-filled, so-called, "In God You Trust" people would
 DD> rather blame the immigrants and sweep the whole thing under
 DD> the rug instead of fessing up and saying, "OK, what can we
 DD> do to rectify this in a humane fashion?"

 Put the employers in prison, and take away their business.
 Simple.

 DD> If all were made legal and were able to pay taxes on a
 DD> decent American wage, then this would pay for the mess WE
 DD> created.

 And encourage millions more to come here. Given two million
 illegals in 1987, when Reagan signed the amnesty, and 12 million
 now, legalizing 12 million is likely to lead to 50 million next
 time.

 DD> Had *you* not hired illegals at sub-human wages, they would

 Yep. Put the employers in prison.

 ...

 DD> It seems as though you would prefer to load illegals into
 DD> box cars the way Hitler did with Jews.

 Really really dumb. Had Hitler shipped the Jews to Israel, they
 would have been delighted.

 DD> A better start would be to require anyone caught hiring
 DD> illegals to spend 10 YEARS in prison with no parole.

 Ok. Even more than I would have given them.

 DD> Then, allow the existing non-criminal illegals to earn a
 DD> fair LEGAL wage and PAY TAXES to support the services they
 DD> now use for free thanks to your LOCAL GREEDY AMERICAN
 DD> BUSINESS OWNER who is to blame for all of this.

 Nope. Blame is not the issue. Solving the problem is the issue.

 DD> I've been saying this for the past 6 years and just the
 DD> other day I heard that this is how it may play out in the
 DD> next few months--STIFF penalty for those caught hiring
 DD> illegals and the ability for non-criminal illegals to pay
 DD> taxes.

 They have that ability now. However, even under the most humane
 solution, there is a difference between the one who has raised a
 family here and built a life, and the ones who came across the
 border last year and have no established life here.

 If any are to be legalized, that doesn't excuse legalizing all
 of them.
