While I agree with you 100% on spotting illegal immigrants crossing the borders an reporting it it the border control officers, our biggest disagreement is that I will not report an illegal immigrant working in a restaurants cleaning a table, or cleaning the floor and the bathroom in a mall, you will report them.
What you don't understand is that they won't cross the borders in the first place if they know that IF they can find a dishonest, lawbreaking employer in the first place that they AND their employer will be turned in by a conscientious citizen. The employer won't chance it because he knows he'll likely get caught and get his business seized. If we would actually start enforcing the laws on the books the problem would solve itself. Employers wouldn't dare illegally hire border intruders and then there wouldn't be any real good reasons for people to break and enter our border or for those who have already broken and entered to want to stay here. They would deport themselves.
And, for once, I agree with Bayourod. I think that all the members of the Immigration Reform Caucus (as well as every other Congressman) should see what they can do to get tough on illegal employment of border intruders in their own districts. Tancredo, for one, is already doing that. He's on the forefront of Colorado politics trying to get state and local legislation and policies passed that make it very difficult to be here illegally. He's not just working this at a Congressional level.
