I agree it is not as easy I laid it out. But, the point was that there are things that can be done rather than throwing up ones hands. GWB had a decent idea to legally have illegals work on farms, etc. It is controlled and known.

I am not sure that the majority of who we would think are illegals have been born in the US.

But I do feel we need to take stronger action when providing healthcare or education. By doing nothing we encourage say it is fine, no penalty, so the problem grows.

We can have more raids and heavy fines and jail time for employers that repeatedly hire illegals. Remember, they are avoiding taxes too. There is no longer and excuse with e-verify.

We can build some detention centers with the stimulus dollars to hold illegals before they are deported. Even if it means running multiple flights a day back to mexico (or other countries).

The fence was part of the solution, but not the only answer. Allowing employers, like farmers to hire illegals during peak times is an option if it is controlled.

Also it is an 'assumption' that americans do not want those jobs, so it should be set up that qualified americans get first shot at those jobs.
