How can one be on a jury full of undocumented immigrants? They use the DMV records to pull for jury duty and at least in California you can't get a drivers license unless you are here legally. Granted you can buy one in downtown LA, but the DMV isn't going to call up a fake license.

Realistically speaking, the government isn't going to waste the time to try and deport them all, it's not efficacious.What the hell are you talking about with France? That comment was out of nowhere and made no sense.

I will have to respectfully disagree. I deal with a lot of undocumented people and their children in my job, and in a lot of respects I can tell you that those who are here have "bought in" to the American dream and want to stay because it's a much better life here than it is there, wherever there may be. Many of the parents of the students at the school where I teach want to become Americans in the future.

I'm all for a guest worker program, but it can't be done the way it's been done in Europe. It's ridiculous to tell people that they can come work in our country, but they can't get citizenship. Heck, get the guest workers to pay taxes to help pay for some of the programs that are being used to help them here. Granted it won't solve all the problems, but it can't be much different than it is right now.
