Its a travesty that the U.S. government will not stop these illegal immigrants from coming to the U.S. and draining further our already stretched resources.
Now this may be hypocritical of me, but I don't want any uneducated immigrants. I am fine with immigrants coming to the U.S. who have degrees, or are very skilled (carpentry, cooking, etc).
We have enough fine young Americans as it is that are as uneducated as the poorest third world citizens, and whom speak in such a mangled form of english that no respectable employer would even give them a chance.
So really, there are three things that can happen:
(1) Illegal immigrants will continue to flow into our country, draining our resources, causing an increased rate of urban decay and expansion of our slums and ghettos.
(2) We can try to utilize this influx of immigrants by creating an effective education and vocational system for working class citizens.
(3) We can start treating this massive influx of illegal immigrants as what it really is, border incursions. 10 year prison sentences and make-shift prison camps in the hot Arizona/Texas desert could be used to punish the border incursions before sending them back to Mexico.
-Additions to option (3): Upon entering prison, allow each prisoner to take an IQ test. Offer the smartest prisoners a chance to live in the U.S. and an opportunity for education. The U.S. can always use smart citizens.
