But like you say its going to be hard to enforce...Unless you really write it up and implement it correctly and swiftly, not allowing the people who would attempt to adjust to the law a chance to exploit any loopholes or other avenues that you may not have foreseen...

My concern is not so much that it will be hard to enforce, but rather that there will be no will to enforce it. I don't think its that hard to enforce our current immigration laws. There is just no will to do it.

From there, I view this like I do gun regulations. Don't start telling me that we need new laws to address a problem that the old laws address just fine if they were only enforced. It's not that I don't like the intent of this, its just that laws that are unenforced only affect the law abiding.

Nope, thats not what I am saying...

Your analogy is a valid concern...I just think this is an interesting way to address one aspect of the problem which will if properly written up and implemented will generate an impact on the overall problem...

Now, I don't think you can really compare the results of this to the "gun control" issue...Lets just say I'd like to see all gun control/anti-freedom laws go by the way of the Dodo bird...

The issue of illegal immigration and the way to curb it, is not a domestic freedom issue...Because if they are here illegally they do not have the courtesy of the freedoms inhierant to citizens of this country, either born here, or naturalized (legally)...

If you want to strive for the American dream...Do it the right way, plain and simple...It worked for my wife's family...

If this drives a portion to do it the right way...Then I am all for it...

If it doesn't work, or is not implemented correctly...Then its another shining example of why we need a clean sweep, across the board, of those we elect to take care of these things...

Later,
