    Mexico

    Mexico lives on the $10 billion a year that all the immigrants send back. The IRS should seize that money, that money belongs in the US economy and not Mexico's. I see them every Friday at the post office and the Western Union station

    Are you saying that people who work for their own money cannot do with it however they please? In the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave(tm)?

    Every business gets a lot more value from its employees than what the business pays them. Unless its illegal money, the US is still gaining.

    Maybe it was a bit overboard but their are places where it is impossible for a native born kid to get a low wage job while they are still in high school because all the jobs were taken by the immigrants. Yes, they do have a right to do what they want with their money but you cant deny the fact that the $10 billion is better spent in our country.

    Start by cutting off welfare to the able bodied peoples, and for the legal immigrants sending money to Mex. (or where ever) make it easier to bring their families here. The illegal ones should be captured, beat up, tagged (so they can be shot if caught again), and tossed back across the border, preferably in a desert section. The US doesn't need workers living off the system, and then still sending the money to a foreign country, the US needs good citizens investing in this country. If they do not want to be Americans, and they aren't hiding from a political regime, then they have no business being here.

    even if that enforcement is mostly at the hands of the United States, a right we retain even if the Security Council fails to act-John Kerry
    He may even miscalculate and slide these weapons off to terrorist groups to invite them to be a surrogate to use them against the United States. It’s the miscalculation that poses the greatest threat-John Kerry

    What right does the native born kid have to that Job?

    Mexican immigrants bring far more to the US economy then they take away.
