This comes from the NR, that says we should give in state tuition, to these criminals? Round them up, send them home! Nothing is heartless about defending our country!

We don't own these uninvited aliens anything. If anything they own us for all the taxpayer funded programs used by their children. They know they are breaking the law and what could happen if they are caught. So tell me again why we owe them? Someone trespasses and when they're caught you open your house? What I don't understand is why is there any decision about it at all, It's crazy they are here illegal end of story, We don't need to change the law to suit illegals and the businesses that exploits them.

She has committed a serious crime aganist the Country,she should be deported as all law breakers should,no matter how sweet they seem to be.Praise for Sherriff Johnson in doing his job.My daughter is also a honnor student,but if she breaks the law she will have to go to jail.She knew what she was doing,I think it is grose to use a dead mans ss,plus using our welfare system,It's about time Alamance County does the right thing and send the illegas home.

A luke-warm editorial.....first it seems to reluctantly conclude that we must have immigration enforcement, then it finishes with the liberal (left liberals and right liberals), that we must increase our legal immigraiton inflows.

Why? Says who? The business elite who want a continued stream of cheap labor? The media elite? The political elites who are paid off by business to allow mass immigration (legal and illegal) to occur in the first place?

The DREAM Act is a joke. There must be punishment for illegal entry, identity theft, social security fraud, income tax evasion, driving without a license/insurance. These are the common crimes that most, repeat, most illegal aliens commit. DREAM Act is nothing but a liberal amnesty program.

The real problem is the chronically corrupt goverment of Mexico and it's desire to send 20-40 million MORE of it's peasants to the USA. The American people have spoken. We want immigration enforcement and we want a reduction in legal immigration. Any questions, elite?

I agree with the others in this post that this editorial contradicts itself by proposing tough law enforcement in one breath, and in the next it proposes that we implement the DREAM act.

It is proposals such as the DREAM act that continue to entice people to come here illegally. It has been documented that every time our government even hints at an amnesty or legalization program illegal immigration skyrockets.

So we need a comprehensive enforcement approach. One which includes enforcement at the workplace (that means jail time for employers), deportations of those arrested working illegally, jail time for identity thieves, denial of all public assistance to those here illegally and a stop to our nonsensical and stupid misrepresentation of our constitution which gives the children of illegals American citizenship. As long as we keep putting up goodies for those breaking the law, they will keep coming. Amnesties don't work - Enforcement does and when we enforce the law, people self deport -- It's that simple.

Deportation is really the only solution. Illegal aliens are trespassers and they are illegal, black market workers for sleazy businesses.

There are probably near 20 million illegals in our country. When will this end? When we are all speaking Spanish and kneeling on a muslim prayer rug, because the majority of immigrants - legal and illegal are either Spanish speaking (illegal) and Mohammedan followers (legal).

We're a "nation of immigrants"? Every nation is a "nation of immigrants" since no one grew out of the ground, the only difference is how far back people moved into a region. We're a nation of laws and it's high time, illegal immigrants, mostly Latino live by the same rules American citizens are required to live by.

Using a social security number that is not your own, whether it is made up, borrowed, bought, or stolen, is a federal felony for the purpose of protecting the integrity of our social security system. US citizens would face harsh penalties for commiting a felony; illegal aliens should not be held above the law. I agree with the editorial's opinion that given the government's deplorable record of enforcement, we cannot trust them to enforce the laws against illegal immigration and employment.

Please contact your representatives and senators and ask them to make E-verify employment verification mandatory for every single employer. It works! More will leave on their own if they cannot find employment.

The DREAM Act? No way! Why should we give illegals something that is denied some American students? How can we justify giving cheap in-state tuition to illegals all the while telling American citizens that live out of state that they have to pay more than an illegal? How can we justify telling foreign students who apply to college through proper channels and abide by our laws that they have to pay more than illegals?

You want more people coming here legally? What? We don't have enough traffic on the roads? I thought we're all supposed to be living "green" these days and reducing our carbon footprint. How will increasing the population help with this? We only have a finite amount of fresh water, arable land and buildable land.

I think you would be horrified to find out just how
bad illegal immigration is. You would have to shut
down a number of schools because a large number
of them house illegal immigrants. WHY??

Kick Backs, schools are paid according to
numbers... Hey thats the system!

Would you get the average American cleaning
someones house for $5/hr?? We are a very
educated lot, its below our belt. So we get the
illegals to do it, then we will educate them and
take your job and by the way still pay them $5/hr
(is this slavery)..... oh no we did not see that coming.

Everyone will have to work for less....
But everything will keep going up.

But if we don't look after them they will rob, steal
kill.... oh no more crime!!!!

I think without a doubt you gotta send her back, along with her 1 year old. If we get rid of these criminals and theyre offspring we can make this country a better place! The population of illegal mexicans are taking over this country without firing a shot! Lets stand up and do something about it with stricter laws, and follow through with them.

JRG: a quick note about the 1 year old. Because the child was born in the US, that child is a US citizen.

I agree with the general consensus that while this case is sad for Angela Martinez and her family, she is a scofflaw and deserving of no breaks by our courts. She knew she was doing the wrong thing by using someone else's SSN.

Either her child can stay with any family that is here legally, or the child can go with the mother to Mexico. But the child is a US Citizen, and it should be clear that the child can return at any time (probably at adulthood, but earlier if she becomes emancipated). And I don't have a problem with that part, because that is our law, and while some children get citizenship through the back door this way, it is less of a problem than that of the illegals overall.

But mom can't use that as a shield to stay in the US. The kid can go home to Mexico and come back later.
