The immigration system is jammed with petitions of people who entered this country illegally, delaying the process for those who followed all the visa procedures to enter here. Deportation should be applied FIRST for those who have NO PAPERS at all; I believe that it doesn't happen enough or it is not as reinforced only because of economic and political interests of our government. The IRS knowingly accepts income tax from illegals, but close its eyes by not sharing that information with Immigration.

Why do they waste our tax dollars on this stuff. They tried to come here legally and only because of a stupid mistake they are forced to pack up and go back.Our tax dollars should be focused on illegals and only those that make no attempt to come here through the correct process.
