Hilarious. I found this one funny too. But for different reasons.

Well then if you were that cop, I imagine you'd have been fired a long time ago.

why? if they are Illegal Immigrants they don't belong here I don't see the reason why we cant kill them, they don't belong here anyway
Illegal-
1. a foreigner who has entered or resides in a country unlawfully or without the country's authorization.
2. a foreigner who enters the U.S. without an entry or immigrant visa, esp. a person who crosses the border by avoiding inspection or who overstays the period of time allowed as a visitor, tourist, or businessperson.
It should be punishable by death. or catapult.

I thought you meant the Benny Hill where the guy and his wife go to the hotel on their honeymoon and the German police redraw the border between East and West Germany right down the middle of the bed.

"What is the purpose of your visit - business or pleasure?"
"Business."
"I think (my husband) means pleasure..."
"You'll see I mean business."

The process of deportation should suffice. Death? What the hell's the matter with you?

I don't think deportation process is enough. they know what they are doing and if they tried it once, they'll sure as hell be back. This happened in Chicago this woman was deported TWICE and came back for a third try and held her self up in a church for refuge. I don't know what happened after that but it shows that most of them don't care.
Now if they wanted to become citizens they should have to jump through all the hoops and whatnot my great grandparents did.
I believe deadly force is the only way we can protect our borders (north and south) When I lived in Phoenix going to school I got a chance to talk to a few of the minutemen that where running around down there and in one day they've busted the same 5-6 people trying to get across and they keep trying until they get through. one guy said hes shot a few of them out of self defense because when stopped they attacked him.

and before someone plays the race card, I don't care if your white, brown yellow, black or pink with green dots, if your caught here illegally, your taken care of swiftly and with out mercy.

I agree, you should lock up the states, don't let anyone in or out!

(I do disagree with illegal immigration, but I do not agree with death penalties for anything but the most horrid of crimes)

You are just lucky your government hasn't done what the UK government has and opened the doors to all comers to use our tax driven services

Stupidity was the lightest term I could find.
If I truly expressed my feelings about the crap you wrote, it would get me banned.
I hope you're just trolling, otherwise I sincerely pity you.

Enforce the laws that are already in place, start cracking down on employers and the market for the jobs that they are seeking dries up. Deport those like in the video. If the job market dries up, there won't any choice but to immigrate here legally like my family, and my wife. There's not need for violence. That's not going to solve anything. Ugh, why am I arguing this with you. I'm out to have a beer. Maki OUT!

I assume you don't eat grapes or lettuce. And yes, those particular extreme views are born of acute stupidity.

I had started a response to this thread earlier and deleted it, but the crux was that to me we need to put a lot more effort into battling illegal immigration from the supply side of things. That makes the most sense to me.

As a side note, I also find the "Illegals do the jobs Americans won't" a sad statement. First off, that doesn't justify paying illegal immigrants at all, let alone less than minimum wage. Secondly, it tells me that Americans have developed a really disgusting sense of entitlement if they find these jobs "beneath" them but yet are open to taking handouts from the government in the form of welfare.

Plenty of American still DO do those jobs, though. This over generalizing that Americans are too lazy or arrogant to do stuff like mow lawns or be janitors is just wrong.
