 * Delete namely because the article is an incoherent collection of information from various other articles. All of the issues covered in this article are sufficiently covered in the following articles: Illegal immigration to the United States, 2006 United States immigration reform protests, Border Protection, Anti-terrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act of 2005, Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007, DREAM Act, etc... As such this article serves no purpose. I should also point out that the mere title of the article "United State Immigration Debate" plays into recentism as it assumes that issues about immigration have only become prominent since 2004 which is not the case.

 * Delete and redirect to Illegal immigration to the United States. Not notable, somewhat of a POV fork. Realkyhick 23:18, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete and redirect to Illegal immigration to the United States. Its meant to cover purposed federal legislation and the ensuing debate. It’s a good idea, unfortunately its proven nearly impossible to keep current, and it has certainly acted as a POV fork at time. Brimba 02:24, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Redundant with other articles, POV-forkish. ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 04:58, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: There is also Immigration law. Bearian 23:28, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete/redirect - per Jersey Devil, who makes it sound like a nice template might do all the work this article currently does, by the way. Smmurphy(Talk) 04:06, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment yes we already have Template:IIUS.--Jersey Devil 08:23, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Yes, it suffers of recentism, but the subject is notable. Yes, it has some overlap with other articles, but this subject is clearly different from Illegal immigration to the United States, Border protection, and others. Must be improved of course.Biophys 06:30, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
