I have refrained from putting up my stance yet, but... here goes nothing.
Immigration should be enforced properly. However, entering the country and becoming a citizen should be a simpler process, making it possible for legal immigration to be nearly as easy as the daunting task of sneaking in and staying in, hidden from the government. Illegals already in the country should be punished but not deported. Instead, the government should try to make it possible for the illegals already here to make their existance in the USA legal.
I agree with rkzenrage, this is not a race issue. Yes, a lot of illegal immigrants in the USA are Mexican, I'm not blind or stupid. But not all are. Immigration is not about race, it's about coming into the country. What I said should apply to Canadians, Mexicans, Chinese, British, Zimbabweans, Papua New Gueneans or anyone else who wants into the country. But still, since I'm sure some prejudiced sod's gonna try to call me racist somehow, I will make it known that my girlfriend is half-mexican. So fuck you if immigrant means Mexican in your brain, I'm far from racist.
