It's hard to know what the "annilation" means. Living standards, people..?

What are the problems, then? Educate us with articles and reports from the local school boards and health care authorities.

Maybe the best way to solve this is that an illegal should wear a button that says "I'm an illegal", just like the Jews had to wear their Star of David in Germany. Then some folks will find out who they are truly being served as a customer, who their neighbours are.. It would help accomplish the head count more accurately.

The people are there in your community now. So what is the solution? Would complete deportation affect your local economy? Of oourse it solve partially the local health care system in patient care load.

So most illegals are not contributing the local economy, not even as consumers? The ones who have good intentions by sending money back home/foreign country to family, probably are also buying a few things locally.. well, they have to buy food...


the other option is for the U.S. to limit their stay or else they get deported. Or maybe that exists already? I don't know U.S. law in this area.

In the end, I don't support illegals jumpstarting over others who are waiting in line to be given the official written approval from immigration authorities. But if they are working productively, living honestly/within their means and buying goods honestly, etc., ..and Americans don't want to do their job, well ....

As for the border states taking things into their own hands, ...to have militias/watchdog groups?

Vancouver is only 40 kms., north of Canada-U.S. border. Just recently there was American watchdog group of U.S.citizens on the U.S. side, near one of our suburbs which borders the international lines. They were on the watchout for terrorists....from Canada. I remember the newspaper photograph. This was about 1 yr. ago.

Ironically Canadians are acutely aware the amount of illegal guns comes from the ...U.S. Same for drugs, by garbage size loads and smuggling.

Geez. Better to leave that to the federal authorities in both Canada and U.S. government. They understand the proper law of arrest, etc.

As for the illegals who don't know English..still..well, I better start on my mother first, who is Canadian citizen and still doesn't know much English..after 49 years in Canada. Pathetic, but we couldn't "deport" my mother, could we? My mother, the lazy bum , who only got her citizenship finally ....20 years later after being a legal resident and after raising 6 children.

My partner went back to Germany to visit relatives. He ticked off to hear some relatives rant about the Turkish migrant workers, "stealing" jobs in Germany. He felt it was hypocritical when alot of these workers were taking low-end jobs.

He felt it was a good thing I wasn't with him to visit his relatives.

You are welcome to Canada. Complain about the illegals and but be also good Americans and just don't complain to U.S. federal govn't/Homeland Security to extend the new U.S. passport deadline requirements anymore which U.S. passports will be required of Americans travelling into Canada in the future.

Note: In speaking with our foreign (these are college and university educated folks) employees direct from germany, phillipines, india, sri lanka on work visas, the U.S. is more strict than Canada, in requiring these folks to have travel visas just for them to go from Canada to the U.S. to visit/tour for a few days, etc. Already the U.S. has stricter controls now. I realize the illegals from Mexico, some are physically running the border.
