Funny. The farms in the Northeast and Northwest still function without illegals. It's just commiefornia and Texas that "suddenly" in the last 20 years needed illegals. Seal the border now. The solution is simple but the stomach to do it is not.

Fine every employer, sweat shop, or farm $50,000 for each illegal hired. If the fine is not paid within 30 days, the property is seized and auctioned off immediately. Apply the same to property owners who rent housing to illegals. If they don't have a place to live or work, they will not come.

Too bad no one supports this with you. Well, besides the tiny few of your friends on the FRinge. You're losing, Beck. It's gotta suck. I feel for ya.

I have an agricultural client in Michigan who must go to Texas every spring to recruit workers. They don't go to recruit illegals but they get taken by fake papers in some cases. By the time that information is kicked back from the Federal Government, the season is over. Do you know why they must go to Texas? They can't hire workers at the wages they pay. They might be able to hire teenagers but OSHA laws prevent them from doing half the work. They would gladly increase their wages but they would then price themselves out of the market.

They are a huge operation and to hear them tell it smaller farms are far more lax in their hiring and reporting. This is a complicated issue. It seems to me that if the President starts by matching jobs with immigrants we might begin to get a handle on not only who comes in but what employers are breaking the laws.

Exactly, that's the only thing that will work. All we need are political leaders with the will to carry it out.

Just one question since I rent housing. How the hell do I know if someone is illegal?
