COM. IMMIG. REFORM WILL N OT FIX ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.

Comprehensive Immigration Reform will not fix our broken immigration system because it is not broken. Comp. Immig. Reform is just another name for the 1986 amnesty. Amnesty or path to citizenship still means the same. The 1986 amnesty allowed 3 million illegal aliens to stay. A path to citizenship will allow 20 million to stay. All are ahead of millions waiting to enter legally.
The 1986 amnesty was supposed to fix illegal immigration and it didn't, so what makes the Democrat think a path to citizenship will fix the problem?
Just because they are here we cannot deport them? We cannot round up 20 million people, put the on planes, trains and donkeys and deport them? It would cost too much and take too long? It would cost more to not deport them and put them on a path to citizenship. We can force them to leave by going after business they hire them. If they cannot work they will leave and they will not come. Millions have already packed up their families and gone back to Mexico because of the economy have lost their jobs. Cracking down on businesses that hire them will have the same results. But Obama is offering them a path to citizenship if they stay.
Deportations do not separate families. They can take their children with them just as they brought children with them when they came. Away from families and friends. Not knowing the language and culture. Mexico’s Constitution say they are Mexican citizens. The fence on the border is to keep illegal aliens out and not to keep the in.
They only real and lasting solution to illegal immigration is enforcement. Com. Immig. Reform is just a repeat of the 1986 amnesty by another name with the same results. If it did not work in 1986, it will not work in 2012.
Com. Immig. Reform has absolutely nothing to do with fixing our immigration system but everything to do with the 2012 election.
A 20 foot electrified fence and a moat of alligators will not stop illegal immigration. As long as we offer them jobs and social benefits nothing will stop them from coming.
If we enforce our immigration law and deport them our farmers will suffer and we will have to pay $200 for a head of lettuce and farmers will more their business to Mexico. I say “have a nice trip” to that and take the 20 million with you. 20 million illegal aliens are not picking lettuce and H-2A visa program allowed farmers an unlimited supply of farm workers.
Every excuse Obama and Company make for Com. Immig. Reform is a bucket or BS.

Obama deportation policy could be 'nightmare' for law enforcement
August 19, 2011 - The Obama administration says its new deportation policy will focus only on the worst criminals, not college kids and maids. But that could make the jobs of law enforcement – from local cops to federal agents – much more complicated.

Sheriff Neil Warren, dubbed "Wild West Warren" by pro-immigration groups, has racked up nearly 15,000 immigration-related arrests in Cobb Country north of Atlanta. A new deportation policy announced Thursday by the Department of Homeland Security could mean that many of those arrested by Mr. Warren may not only get out of jail, but could go back to Cobb County with a legal work visa in hand. Responding to criticism that the US deportation net has been cast too wide – sweeping up college kids, grandparents, and other noncriminal illegals – the Obama administration on Thursday formalized new rules that could mean release for many of the 300,000 people currently facing deportation in the US. Its goal will be to focus on deporting only the worst and most hardened criminals.

The move centers on prosecutorial discretion, with the Obama administration deciding whom it will and won't deport. Clearly, the shift has political ramifications, with Latino groups lauding the decision and conservative critics calling it a backdoor "administrative amnesty." But perhaps more important to Main Street America is the question of how the new policy will affect police departments, primarily in the West and Southeast. Many of these departments have used federal programs as a means to arrest every illegal immigrant they come across. Now, the Department of Homeland Security's announcement introduces new uncertainty about whether many of those arrested will simply be sent back.

It is further proof that, until comprehensive immigration reform passes Congress, states and federal agencies will continue to nibble at the issue with different and often contradictory measures. In the meantime, the latest move makes for a "law enforcement nightmare," says the union that represents US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel. "We've got this massive net out there catching people, and there are a lot of inconsistencies in how programs are being implemented at the local level," says Wendy Sefsaf, a spokeswoman for the American Immigration Council, which advocates for comprehensive immigration reform. "How it will all play out is the huge million-dollar question, because so far the administration's goal of only deporting the worst of the worst hasn't worked out terribly well."
