A max of 100,000 immigrants a year is enough. All illegal aliens should be deported, they're violating the law.

So lets be clear, here, you want American children to live in Mexican slums just because of the immigration status of their parents? What about people who were brought over as small children, have no memory of their home country, and see themselves as Americans? Do you want to send those back to a country they do not consider their own? Because that is what will happen by "deporting all illegal immigrants".

It's fine if you are concerned about illegal immigration, but mass deportations of people already here are not the answer.

Are Mexican slums really all that much worse than American slums?  Not that they would be all that likely to go back to a Mexican slum; typically, experience living in American and whatever English is learned here is worth a significant amount with respect to employment opportunities in the home country.

-- l have & yes they are. Not just Mexican slums, but slums in several Central American countries. Trust me, our slums stack up real good in comparison.

fwiw, l celebrate both Cinco de Mayo & the 4th. l'm gringa, btw. I celebrate St Paddy's Day too. Big time. Does that mean l'm not assimilating?
