If a water pipe breaks, do you FIRST say: "What are we going to do with all this water?" NO! You fix the leak, and then concentrate on mopping up the water. First, seal the borders! Then, concentrate on what to do with those illegal aliens that are already here. Wonder how many other illegals have crossed since this story first hit the news?

I think the bigger issue here is stopping this problem BEFORE it happens. A part of me feels terrible that some illegal aliens want to go to school and make a better life for themselves, but can't because they're illegal. There natural born citizens who would rather sit around living off of handouts. However, you can't make exceptions for some and not others. That's a slippery slope. Enforce the immigration laws and secure the borders. Make it so that if you are born here to someone with illegal status, you are NOT a citizen. If we started at the bottom, we'd have less to deal with at the top.

I'm 2nd generation American. My mom's side of the family is eastern European, and my dad's side is western European. When my grandparents came over, they did so with a green card, came to this country, and then assimilated to the blend of cultures here. They didn't have ESL classes for Poles, Italians, Germans, etc.

of course why cry about the AMERICANS who are in the mix nc outerbanks...heaven forbid the people who are out in 100 degree weather with their cardboards signs would rather be in shelters instead of being on a roof top in 100 degree weather building a roof and not complaining that we AMERICANS cant get a job... SPARE ME THE SOB STORY

cghsmom, you cannot run a country on "feeling". Nations operate on law and justice. If we give them amnesty, then we have to let in everyone and can send no one home when their visa expries. Where do we equaitably draw the line? This is chaos.

Laws are created for a reason. Before we choose to ignore them, we need to analyze why the law was passed and not just feel our way through this. This is the downfall of liberalism - feelings replacing logic.

hospitalized Really? Guess who paid for that we did US Citizens.We have so many people that are here Illegally breaking laws and driving on our roads drunk and without a DL,and they end up killing someone and then we hear they are Illegally in our country.How does this happen? In the US our language is English.......
