Comments on: Back At Home, Deported Mexicans Struggle

U.S. Deportations Have Skyrocketed Since 2003; Most Of Those Are Returned To Mexico

There should be legislature governing child births on all fronts. Just tonight, I saw some of the worst trailer park trash in existence at our local 7-11.

Now that Ted Kennedy has all the illegals he needs to clean his pool and tote out his empty gin bottles, the rest get deported.

So they are upset about being sent back, welcome to my world, I''m tired of supporting you. Come here legally or stay at home. We support enough countries as it is.

I feel for these people. However, they have broken the law. Their plight is their won fault. Instead of trying to make their own country better they simply jump ship to greener pastures. I like the WEDNESDAY story. That story is proof positive that if you take away public assistance aka welfare even drug dealers and gang members give up their ways to find work. Maybe America can learn something from Mexico after all.

Yeah, that''s a bit harsh. But practically speaking, can this country absorb the job competition, housing and health issues, and the anonimity so many of these people live under?

And the constitutional and moral arugments made by the immigrant advocates and liberals is really wearing thin and off-putting, to say the least. I don''t think Americans owe anyone the right to feed their families outside of the national structure of citizenship and it a state of illegality. Slavery was a moral issue as was civil and women''s rights. This is what a citizen owes other "citizens". Not hte world. It''s this thinking that got us, partitially, into the Iraq mess we''re in today. Let''s export ideas and goodwill; not democracy non-resident rights to amnesty after the fact of an illeagal act.

"I could care less if they all die, as long as they do their dying south of the border where they belong."

ouch.

Those parents are sick! To abandon their children, to tell them they''ll only help them, only be a mother, or a father to their child, if their child can cross illegally. They are not parents - and they are no one I want in America!

WHat ever happened to National Security? The RePugNaCon platform of 2004/2008? Funny how Shrub forgets it when American businesses need to exploit poor, hungry foreign workers.

All that is need to improve the Worker Visa program is require Mexico to work with the American Embassy in Mexico proper to expedite the process. Work and remittances; not family reunification or women leaving their children in Chiapas. Only men to farm the farms. Not contruction of resturants.

WHy won''t that happen? Because then that would make businesses accountable for the safety and welfare of those workers and then possibly taxes and civil repayment for hospitals, schools and other governmental services. Anything to protect the profit of private and public companies'' bank accounts.

boo hoo hoo! I wonder how many folks would be OK with somone pitching a tent and living in their backyard uninvited. They wouldn''t stand for it. They would call the cops, rightfully so, and get it taken care of. I don''t see how illegal immigration is any different.
