This just came in my www.hispanictips.com website. Of course the guy that operates it left no place to respond!

My answer would be ATTRITION!! Don't let them work, get medical, get welfare, go to school, rent, read anything in Spanish, or give illegal people ANYTHING! They will go home on their own. It's been proved already It's not our problem. We treat them too good so they stay and get the rest of the family here.

Last September in testimony before a Senate committee, ICE stated that "It would cost at least $94 billion to find, detain and remove all 12 (try 30 - 40!) million people believed to be staying illegally in the United States."

While that is a rough calculation, it can't be denied that it is a large number. It does not take into consideration the economic (or social) ripple effect of removing that many people who may/or may not work, contribute to social security, pay taxes, shop, have kids in school, etc. Nor does it take into consideration how much money communities, health services etc might save. This is just a big number with huge implications.

So who is going to pay? Isn't our country in enough debt and fiscal trouble that we can't rub our brains together to come up with a smarter solution.
