What to do about Illegal Aliens ?
Should we give amnesty to them and welcome them as citizens ? Or toss em out on their rear. Or maybe you have a stance in the middle, lets hear it.

Let's let them work in our restaurants, on landscaping, and as unskilled construction labor. Oops, they already do.
Seriously though, the logistics of deporting 12 million people is a bit daunting. Adjudicating that many immigration cases at the maximum rate the system can handle will take a couple of decades (if no more come in). I'd say focus on the relative miscreants for now.

I say we send them home, then wait patiently for Hard Working Great American True Patriot Teabaggers to do the menial work for less than minimum wage and no benefits. (Something tells me we would end up letting them back in............................ )

I'm generally a very liberal person, but I just can't see how we'd justify giving illegal immigrants amnesty, or driver's licenses, etc. It just doesn't make sense. They've broken the law, unlike all the people trying to get in legitimately.
That said, I don't think there should be some dramatic effort to round them all up and send them home.

Seems to me that if we punish the people that hire the illegals the illegals will begin to deport themselves.

The drivers licenses etc drives me batty, or battier, they are ILLEGAL.
Perhaps the States can pick up the Feds slack. Nope.
We have a relationship with illegals for some reason. But we need to control the border for national security reasons. So codify reality, make what they do legal, and enforce the living hell out of it.
Never happen though....

That is one point in which we are in complete agreement, sir. Thousands and thousands of employers are profiting off of the substandard wage scale they are able to pay to imported workers. Many of these employers not only hire these workers, they actively recruit them. The employers are not interested in these workers gaining more legitimacy, because their undocumented status makes them easier to exploit.

Yep, but these employers happen to be, for the most part, Republicans. Do you see the political will to fine/imprison all these fine, upstanding small businessmen (and donors)? Nah, it's easier to demonize the hispanic fellow trying to feed his family.
