Obviously, GWB and Obama, want illegal immigration to continue. Dems want amnesty for the 10s of millions of new voters, and the jury is out on most Republicans, whose statements do not inspire confidence. Romney has flipped so many times I don't see how anybody but a traitor could vote for him. And yes, I want Palin to give us a straight statement about amnesty.
Perhaps, despite these stringent laws against employing illegals they are still pouring over for the opportunity to earn mucho dinero?
As SJB said, one of the problems is no real enforcement. Another is rogue judges.
We, this country, have an influx of people, pouring in to earn money, of which they cannot make at home.
It is estimated that the number of illegals in this country is approx 15 million, mostly being from Mexico and South America.
These illegals reside across the country. (I've oft wondered how an accurate, state-by-state count could be had without knowing where these illegals are. If we know where they are then why are they still there/here?).
Point being - It is very easy to sit behind a PC, or stand on a sidewalk waving a sign and demand that something be done. I would ask those doing the demanding to offer a practicable and feasible solution to locating, apprehending and deporting 15 million people - whilst simultaneously, many more are sneaking in.
I myself would never offer amnesty, unless as a ploy to bring illegals into the light, nab them, and deport them. I also realize this would never be contemplated by our 'solons' in the upper echelons of State and Federal gov't.
So, how would it be done? How much manpower, at what costs?
OR
A law, nationally, is passed that such penalizes anyone or any business that employs an illegal that it proves to a more than ample deterrent to their wanting to come here illegally in the first place.
