No, I don't think they should be deported. I believe the are entitled to at least a chance to prove in court why they are entitle to stay. I think its very hypocritical of us a nation to call oursleves the "Land of the Free", etc., and so many similiar connotations and yet we don't embrace this mentality. I understand people are scared since 9-11 but honestly what if the terrorist weren't foreigners, would we still be so bent on discriminating against entirte races and relitions? And yet two handfuls of people make us do just that everyday. We do so much more to ourselves than any outside groups have done or will do.

Ok.... I am glad you said this. So. do you think we should just let everyone in who wants to come? I mean where does it end? Why not just let Saadam float on a boat over here? I actually think our borders should be closed to everyone right now until we get our "own house" in order. I mean 8 million illegals running around....when will enough be enough? Yea we're the land of the free, but not for every dang body! I'm tired of my tax dollars going to SUPPORT people who come over here...a lot of times they drain the local economies!
Now I'm all for people coming in LEGALLY...that way we could regulate things like do they have jobs, any diseases, and evaluate their means for being here. BUt boat loads washing up on our shores are ridiculous to me!! Regardless of the color of your skin!
And to say speak the language is really quite rude. The last time I checked we dont have an official language, that's probably the one thing that makes us cool. We are supposed to respect and protect people's beleifs, culture, and speech which includes language.

OK, I'm also glad you said this too. Where does this stop? Why don't all of us just speak different languages? We'd really get a lot accomplished that way....
Don't we have to have a common ground on which to communicate?? BUt yet foreigners can come here, don't have to speak the language, and get $$ to open a business..... yea if I just got a Social Security number last year...my credit would be the bomb too!!
Whether we have an official language or not is not the point. Who do you think pays to print state manuals and STOP signs in Spanish??? THE TAXPAYERS!!!!! ANd I'm sick of it! SPEAK ENGLISH...THIS IS AMERICA!! IF you don't like it, you can always go back home. I am proud of America,....shortcomings and all. I know we're not perfect, but please... name just ONE other country that has done more good than the US.........can't do it can ya?
