It sucks to me that our country has come to this, and now we are forced to deal with it.

Actually most countries are born from their native populations. It's only the "colonial" countries that are made from immigrants, which is essentially the Americas. Though a lot of other countries were formed by European influence most are back to local control. Our country has come to what? We are still the economic and military force in the world. You somehow think illegal immigrants are hurting this?

So would a better solution be to give these 11 million "undocumented citizens" 6 year work visas and attempt to keep the rest out? And if these people are granted amnesty through this, then they will have to be paid minimum wage right? I mean either way it seems the agricultural industry loses.

We will be predominately Latino in 50 years regardless, they are already the largest minority. Some 40 odd million people and are the fastest growing populace. I won't complain about more hot latina women. You realize that most of latino population is here legally and that illegal immigrants children are US citizens. It's not an exponentially growing "problem" by any means. Don't give in to the fear mongering.

I want you and Austin to tell me how you intend to pay for your immigration reform. Who's after school programs are you going to cut? Or are going to print more money and cripple our economy with inflation?
