Agreed. Plus, I’d add a third - e-verify verification for I-9s, with prosecution for fraud.

There is only one thing in the entire “debate” that needs overhauling, and that’s the fortitude, culpability, and integrity of the public servants entrusted to enforce current immigration law. Their dereliction of duty is the single greatest reason we are in the current situation.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

True reform would be the mass expulsion of Mexican illegals. The government could even deputize American citizens if the Mexicans resist. However, such action would require far greater moral strength that the American currently possesses. The American of 2013 is a weakling compared to the American of the time of the war with Mexico.

When you align policy with human nature, instead of trying to swim upstream with an army of bureaucrats, it's amazing what will take care of itself.

There's yer problem right there; we are being governed by people who's ideology - progressivism - essentially consists of a revolt agains the natural order of things.

Anyone who's values and attitude are in line with God's natural order are not welcome in the decision making process.

[SeminoleCounty]

When you read deeper....this article and author are part of the problem....not the solution

Author actually gives a pass to a fictitous landscaping company that hires illegal aliens...right there and then this author is covering and supporting Amnesty...and quite frankly being totally dishonest

If I am not mistaken....this is the same person that wrote some Karl Rove book....and attacked me and some others for calling out his EU/UN /Free Trade Globalist economics.

Remember that those who willy nilly push Free Trade are the biggest Open Borders and Illegal Alien Amnesty supporters.

A third tier to this plan should be improving the harsh conditions in Mexico that fuel illegal migration. President Peña Nieto’s came into office with an economic reform agenda that attacks the monopolies that dominate the Mexican economy. Mexico's legislature has passed a telecommunications antitrust act which will dismantle much of Carlos Slim’s telecom monopoly. This will open the market to new start-ups and foreign investors creating competition, spurring new products and services and creating new jobs. Another bill would begin to denationalize the government-controlled oil industry, encouraging private investment and development including from U.S. companies.

Congress and the White House act to encourage these developments in Mexico. Unfortunately the Democrats have seized on “immigration reform” as a scheme to import tens of millions of new voters. And many Republicans have been cowed into believing they can win over Hispanics by supporting this boondoggle.

A 21ST CENTRURY JOAN OF ARC, SHE IS!

... and stop government handouts.

While the handouts really need to stop, I thought that they were in place by court (SCOTUS) order? You can't deny someone a benefit (public education comes to mind as an example. Health care in emergency rooms another) just because they're here illegally.

Getting this Supreme Court to overturn that precedent is going to be impossible.

[kabar]

So go call Frank -- your lawn needs mowing. And don't sweat it -- it's not your fault, or Frank's, that young able-bodied and unemployed hipsters are at Whole Foods buying scallops using their EBT cards.

The author is an idiot. The idea that the immigrants, legal and illegal, are doing jobs Americans won't do is a bald-faced lie. It has to do with depressed wages. If there were a true shortage of labor, wages would be going up, not declining.

[Kevmo]

I agree it is simple. From my home page...

___________________________________________________________________

Whenever an illegal alien kills someone in a drunk driving accident or something similar, here’s what I recommend:
What can we do about it? Here’s my standard post.

RICO —Citizen Recourse

Private persons and entities may initiate civil suits to obtain injunctions and treble damages against enterprises that conspire to or actually violate federal alien smuggling, harboring, or document fraud statutes, under the Racketeer-Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO). The pattern of racketeering activity is defined as commission of two or more of the listed crimes. A RICO enterprise can be any individual legal entity, or a group of individuals who are not a legal entity but are associated in fact, and can include nonprofit associations.

Here’s what I’ve been pushing: it’s time to file Racketeering, Influencing, and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) lawsuits.

RICO lawyers could turn it around in a few years and MAKE MONEY at the same time. I’m surprised they haven’t done it already.

In the absence of enforcement, we can get the word out in the meantime that there is money to be made in filing RICO lawsuits against employers who hire illegal aliens like this jerk.

Employers would have no trouble shutting down the border if they could get sued by someone under the RICO statutes for hiring these people in the first place. The next time an illegal alien kills someone in a drunk driving accident or somesuch thing, I’m going to point out that the victim’s family might be able to seek compensation from the employer under these statutes in the hopes that it would catch on. If this did catch on, would see such a swift backlash against illegal immigration that no employer would go near these people and they’ll all simply want to go back home.

[TBP]

Build the fence.

Double the size of the Border patrol and ICE.

Make hiring an illegal a jailable offense.

Cut off ALL benefits to illegals.

End birthright citizenship.

End chain migration.

Repeal the immigration bills of 1965 and 1986.

Refocus the H1-B visa program on skilled workers.

Have Congress certify whether the border is secure, not the Executive Branch.

Streamline the procedures for coming her legally.

Then when all of this is done, we’ll talk about what to do about those who are still here.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

...secure the border and stop government handouts.

No need to deport anybody.

As soon as the freebies stop flowing in, they would self-deport.
