And your solution would be what? Deport them all? All 8 million?>>>>>

Take away all their 'freebies'. Actually fine the illegal employers (existing laws), & others might have second thoughts about employing illeglas.

Right before the 'wal-mart' bust, INS went into a TJ Maxx warehouse & found HALF (abt 275) the employees were illegal. The only punishment I ever heard about was TJM was told to terminate them. No fines, No deportations.

The first has been tried (remember proposition 187?) and the second is a problem because you have no way of knowing who is illegal. If you try to prosecute someone they will string it out in court long enough to be under an administration who will pardon them. Or, they will claim that common law has taken over because the law was never consistantly enforced. That is why a new law is needed. It spells out the rules clearly, offers a legal way to address the current situation, and if the employers STILL break the law there will be no arguement if they are fined and imprisoned.
