"Opponents of illegal immigration are fond of telling foreigners to "get in line" before coming to work in America. But what does that line actually look like, and how many years (or decades) does it take to get through? Try it for yourself!"

One of the comments on the site's page that caught my attention: "NONE of my (white European peasant) immigrant ancestors would've made it to this country if today's standards had applied a century ago."

IMO most people have accepted the fact that we can not possibly deport all of the illegal immigrants in this country. What we can and must do is change immigration laws, however, because of the Racism industry reform of immigration laws can nst seem to be discussed in any way shape or form without people endeavoring to change the laws being labeled as racists.

Part of the changes that need to be made include finding a fairly fair way of including those who are already here and desire to be citizens, at some time, a way to be inluded in the line of legal immigrants. However, that way should in no way reward illegales for "cutting in line". On top of the regular fees that immigration requirs, they need to pay some kind of penalty for violating the law.

We can need to deport those that have made a life out of breaking the laws of this country and tend to populate our prisons.

The more than $4.7 billion in costs incurred by Texas taxpayers annually result from outlays in the following areas:

* Education. Based on estimates of the illegal immigrant population in Texas and documented costs of K-12 schooling, Texans spend more than $4 billion annually on education for illegal immigrant children and for their U.S.-born siblings. About 11.9 percent of the K-12 public school students in Texas are children of illegal aliens.

* Health Care. Taxpayer-funded medical outlays for health care provided to the state’s illegal alien population amount to about $520 million a year.

* Incarceration. The uncompensated cost of incarcerating illegal aliens in Texas’s state and county prisons amounts to about $150 million a year (not including local jail detention costs or related law enforcement and judicial expenditures or the monetary costs of the crimes that led to their incarceration).
