Why is Immigration such a "Difficult" issue for politicians?

I mean to be it seems pretty simple.

Dealing with Illegals

Get border control, armed border control guards, this will also help in protecting our borders from drug smuggling, people trafficking etc.
Fine all those who employ illegal immigrants upwards of $100,000 yeah make it a lot, so they don’t do it again :)
No Amnesty, they broke the law why should they be rewarded, with no work as no one will employ them they will have to return home, and it will stop anymore coming.

Dealing with legals

Cap the number of immigrants admitted to the US at a number that the US can sustainably support.
Only allow in immigrants with a SKILL(Doctors, Nurses, Teachers etc) that the US needs.
Only allow in immigrants with a good knowledge of the English language, American history and the American political system.

other stuff could be added, but I think that in large would solve the immigration issue, I mean Im 18 years old and I think I did pretty good so why cant the most Intelligent people in the land, get it right?
Seldon – It isn’t the illegals I said I wanted to fine ;) and Im sure the richest nation in the world could spare some money, it wouldn’t take alot, but maybe we could use some of our troops in the Gulf and this country needs Job creation so its a win win sitution for Americans ;)

I think it’s because they hire illegals to do their housework and garden work, so they can’t turn their backs on them. When it becomes personal, it is harder to do.

It’s also hard to enact laws on illegals because if the gov’t come out with raids, they’ll be hit with charges on racial profiling.

You’re right though that they should cap spending on illegals and fine employers who knowingly hire illegals.

The gov’t needs to spend money to build a "Great Wall of China" to keep illegals from crossing over. Hey, if the Chinese can do it thousands of years ago to keep the Huns from invading, so can the Americans.

    Because Democrat politicians see illegal immigrants as future voters. They know that if they give them amnesty, free medical, and welfare they will be compelled to vote for them in coming elections.

  7. You didn’t show your work.

    How long is the border with Mexico?
    How many guards would it take?
    How much would it cost?
    Who would do the jobs that only they are willing to do?

    Oh, and there probably isn’t a single illegal alien in this country who could afford a 10k fine, much less 100k.

  9. Sounds like you support current laws. Politicians are about getting re-elected and gaining more control. It has nothing to do with common sense.

  11. it is not difficult for reps as much as dems. dems see them as future voters so they are at odds with most americans but dems seem hell bent to enslave a whole new generation with free housing, free cable, free food and free healthcare. and like the black community, they are buying into the idea that dems care more.
