We could use the $1700 per year per illegal the problem costs us now to build the fence & save our kids the expense. Cool.

Oh, Please. In 30 odd years of trying, the East Germans and Russians never managed to seal Berlin with a wall. You expect to seal 2000 miles with a Wall!?! That's never gonna happen. Period. Please, just think about it for a minute.

The Only way we're going to get a handle on this is enforce the laws against hiring illegal aliens

I agree......( Here comes the "but-monkey"..vbg ) but...I think it's not that simple.

It's a multifaceted problem....and ALL the laws that pertain to illegal aliens should be enforced. One example would be...when illegal aliens are located they should be ,without much discussion, sent back to where they came from.

Another example would be we should make it less attractive...to come here. In other words don't guarantee citizenship just for being born here or offering amnesty for those who are breaking the law.

I could go on...but I'm sure you "see" my point.

FRegards,
