While my wife does shop at Publix, they have been a leader in working folks part time with No benefits.
Clean, well stocked and you can find a decent cut of meat if you are ready to pay too much.
Don’t eat the sea food.

As part of border control we all get a shiny new, hi-tech SS card that goes PING!

Secure the border. That should be a separate subject altogether, not tied in with immigration. Secure the border. It's a different subject. At the same time start imprisoning CEOs and personnel managers and fining housewives who hire illegals in any capacity. Then have an open southern border for southbound traffic. It will get heavy. You don't have to deport the illegals, just make it very difficult for them to make a living. Cut off by law all government benefits to the illegals. Actually all government benefits to anyone should be cut off. That would help fix the illegals problem and the economy, too.

As long as "securing the border first" remains couched in the terms of a condition for something else to happen, it will not happen. Border security is being used as a bargaining chip rather than a Constitutional mandate. It should be the sole topic of discussion. The debate at this point should be focused exclusively on how to secure the border, not on "what happens after." At this point, our candidates are like a couple of surgeons quibbling about the optimum closing stitches, while the patient bleeds to death on the table with multiple gunshot wounds. YES, Exactly!! Due to the cartel war, other criminal activities, and the fact that smugglers are cozying up with terrorists the border needs to be secured even if illegal crossings wasn't in the mix. For our security the border must be secured.

The EASY question to ask Newt is why is he even talking about Step 2?
Step 1 is securing the border. Step 2, if Newt actually wanted the nomination, would be to say something like “we’ll deal with that when we get there”.
If he had done something this simple, he would still have his huge leads in key states...

I've lived on the border for 25 years, I understand the problem, and the solution.
Clamp down hard on employers who hire illegals.
Round the illegals up, and send them home, all of them, no exceptions.
No matter how long they have been here, and how good they've been. They broke the law coming here, they've been breaking othher laws while working here.
I've heard over, and over that we can't afford to round them all up, we don't have to round them all up. Start rounding them up, and there will be a self deportation that will create a vacuum.
Then continue to deport the few that cross, Problem solved.
