In a perfect world, they should all be deported- thus my vote. By granting some form of amnesty we're rewarding them for breaking our laws, which punishes immigrants who play by the rules and encourages more to come via illegal means.
However, at this point, I don't even want the issue of what to do with current illegal immigrants addressed. Before we can do anything productive on this front, we have to secure the border. It's infuriating to me that our Congress seems intent on lumping these two issues together. What's likely to come of that is some half-assed border security plan that will do little more than waste money and give beaurocrats job security, while granting some form of amnesty to current illegals.... all the while they'll continue crossing the border by the thousands.
I want Congress to pass a border security measure that will work- first and foremost. Once the border is proven to be secure, then decide what to do with the illegals that are already here. I agree that its grossly unfair to let them stay without repurcussion, but if these are the last ones we have to deal with in such numbers, I really wont care what Congress does.
