This will be an interesting year. With the economy dominating every landscape, the impact of immigration will be viewed from an economic standpoint. They are workers who will take the jobs that US born folks consider beneath them. Also, implementation of legislation an enforcement of laws will require staffing up and that usually means MORE taxes and not less.
If businesses are penalized, they will be tempted to pass the cost on to end users and consumers at a time when the economy does not support increase in pricing. It certainly shall be an interesting time in government.
THANK GOD! I know you'd love to see our country over ran by illegal aliens, but the majority of us hard working Americans would like to not be taxed to death to pay for the care of people who AREN'T EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE!
Maybe you should open up your home to a few illegal families since you are so worried about them.

I am not sure who this comment was directed towards. If it was me, I wish you read what I wrote first.
I did not say "worried." I did say it shall be INTERESTING to see how GOVERNMENT handles this and other issues while dealing with the global economic recession.
The reality is that whatever government does costs. It will cost to aggressively deal with the immigration issue. It will cost business and industry to displace and then hire and train new workers. It will cost the consumers if employers are tasked with increasing wages to attract workers. This is a tough time to sell any of those notions and all costs are going to fall to the working class of the nation.
That makes the question to be, "Is the border breach a higher priority than dealing with the budgetary fallout from the federal bailouts of floundering industry and floundering industry itself?"
Te old saying goes, "it is hard to remember that your assignment was to drain the swamp when your are waist deep in alligators."
This next year will be about global economic survival. Now, linking back to my original comment, it shall be interesting to see how and what government will address in the coming legislative session of 2009.
It was not directed at you. Your comment was not even there when I posted. In fact, there were no comments yet when I posted, and the comments were directed at David, our liberal host.
This comment is for any of you who believe that illegal immigration is ok or those of you who 'don't think its a big deal'
You are wrong and you are foolish. Illegal immigration is a core problem in our economy. They eat up the welfare system, they continually drain local charities, they 'borrow' each others green cards and work off of them in local places like creekstone and rubbermaid, taking jobs from legal citizens. They drain the healthcare system by going to the hospitals, where they are not charged, but we are. They cost the school system by allowing them to be educated for free while us taxpayers foot the bill, they bully our children in Spanish, while teachers and administration turn a blind eye. They take advantage of of homeowners that rent to them by having multiple families living under one roof and being distructive to rented homes. This is just a FEW of the problems illegal immigration costs us. Those of you who think they are an asset should be the ones paying for them- what they do is no different than someone showing up at your front door and saying- I choose to live here now and there is nothing you can do about it but feed me and pay my bills. It is wrong and illegal and the added expense that they bring is what is draining budgets all over our country. If tighter regulations were made to keep illegals from stealing from America, then we would have more funds available as a result. To say that they do not cost us is ignorant and uneducated and is basically someone having diarrea of the mouth.
We are becoming a socialistic society when we don't allow businesses to fail. Who has the right to say this business gets a bailout because we can't afford them to fail, while saying sorry to the other guy because his business isn't so big that he does get to fail. This reeks of a Big Brother socialistic society.
I agree with much of both of the 9:45 and 9:47 posts on how immigration is affecting our society and socialism. We our cost greatly by illegal immigration. I am surprised that there are very few ideas apparently from our government on reforms in this area considering many societies over history have delt with such issues. From studying the past, I would think we could come up with something better than what we are doing now.

Illegal is Illegal. What is so complicated?

Charles,

Just like you liberals who want amnesty for illegal aliens, I bet there were Indians who argued for the settlers when they came over too.
Remember your history, lest you repeat it.
Thanks for the reply. Sorry! I apologize for making a wrong conclusion.
