Proposed GOP Bill Would Deport All Illegal Immigrants
Republican Senators John Kyl of Arizona and John Cornyn of Texas have proposed a bill that would require all of the estimated 10 to 12 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. to leave the country. The legislation would give the illegals five years to do so, and if they refuse, they'd face fines of $2,000 a year for each year they stay beyond they deadline if they subsequently left and then tried to apply to immigrate legally, Reuters reports.
In other provisions of the proposed legislation:
*A tamper-proof Social Security card would be created to prevent illegal immigrants from getting jobs.
*Companies that hired illegals would face tough fines.
*Funding would be provided for the hiring of 10,000 new Department of Homeland Security personnel for getting illegals out of the workforce.
*The recruitment of 10,000 new Border Patrol agents over five years would be authorized, as well as new unmanned aerial vehicles, cameras, barriers and sensors along the Mexican border.
*A guest worker program would be created, but workers would only be allowed to stay for two years at a time for a maximum of six years and wouldn't be allowed to bring their families with them.
*A total cost wasn't given, but a fact sheet showed partial costs of over $12 billion.
What do you think of this proposed legislation that would require all the illegal immigrants in the country to leave?

Thats really a hard question. There are many benefits to each side. Many times we end up paying for their health care when they are ill and their children when they have them, and their childrens children. It can be very expensive for our country to allow them, but it can be good as well. Where I live illegal migrant workers are common, they help keep costs down because of the low cost labor. Here the RV and general manufacturing companies love them for the same reasons... now that I think about it, my friends boyfriend's company only employs illegals. Another friend of mine has an illegal cleaning lady. With the extreme low cost for their services they almost irresistable to people. I'm not sure if this makes it okay or not. I'm tired of paying for them, thats for sure, but the question is, will it help us or hurt us to send em back?
Illegal is illegal, too bad it won't fly due to big business demands for cheap labor. It has my vote.
We shouldn't hire more DHS-ICE officers until the ones we have now are fired, and charged with fraudulently accepting public funds for services they have refused to render.
As the Paul Williams, Curt Weldon and Tancredo interviews have indicated, our agencies refuse to carry out their duties, duties that the taxpayers have spent billions of dollars paying for.
The only problem I have with this proposal is that they are given five years in which to leave, this is entirely too long. These illegals haven't assimuilated, they want their own culture and language. I suggest taking able-bodied welfare recipients off the dole and let them do the jobs that would open up.
What a waste. We already have laws that say they should be removed from our great country. Why should I believe anyone will enforce any new law any better then the laws we now have. Round them up and toss them out!!! Put guns on the borders and kill them when they cross.
