Please do not partake in this poll, unless you live in California, and unless you make over 50k a year. To rephrase, please do not answer the poll unless you are a resident of California who makes over 50k a year.
What is your take on illegal immigration? Personally, I despise the fact that I pay 12 grand a year in state taxes, which is way more than other states. I also hate the fact that there are 3 billion (gross exaggeration) illegal individuals causing congestion on my commute. I think we should start a massive deportation, as there are legal avenues to come here. Mostly, I want illegals to pay taxes.
I am limiting this poll to California, as frankly I had no opinion on illegal immigration until I moved to California. Now it pisses me off.

Though I live in California, I refuse to answer that poll, on the grounds that it is too simplistic. There is no easy answer to immigration. The first option is unacceptable, and the second is impossible. Some sort of compromise must be reached. I, for one, support a return to the bracero program. Many illegal immigrants come here to send money home, and only stay because they might not get back in. If they could come in to work for a while and then return home, fewer of them would be likely stay here.

We have always had some sort of program or some thing that lets Mexicans come and work in out fields. That will never stop and yes many of the field workers do go home after the season is over and with enough money to last the rest of the year for them.
The problem is that all those jobs are taken and we got WAY too many Mexicans. So now they are here for your job and my job. Now thats a problem.
