They kind of have something like that now. Lets say you are a US citizen and want to marry an illegal immigrant. Sometimes the illegal has to go back to Mexico (or their country of origin) for a set amount of time. I personally think the time to punish people for illegal immigration has come and gone (After the 80's…
Now I come from South Texas and my friends and family and I jokingly call it an extension of mexico. Even in an area so close to mexico its still very segregated. There is a LOT of stupid Mexican pride I dont like and its retarded. Not eating American food like a hamburger or a hot dog, calling Hispanic white…

My two cents: I am an Arizona native and have lived in the southwest all my life. I have seen both the good and the bad related to illegal immigration so I'll state my view on both. The Good: There's no doubt the cheap labor pool has it's benefits. I have seen it first hand when it comes to the jobs most Americans arent…
Why you should support immigration in the US even if you hate hispanics: The following format will present an argument (A) and it's rebuttal (R) A: Immigrant workers are taking our jobs R: Many of the jobs that could be outsourced to cheap labor already have been.
