We need to build a wall. Anything less puts America at risk.

No need for the wall. Just punish the employer with a very high fine and pay 50% of it as a reward to the whistleblower. Easy does it!

Or better yet, reward the illegal employee if he reports himself and give him a visa :)

"Just punish the employer with a very high fine and pay 50% of it as a reward to the whistleblower."

That's a brilliant, creative, easy and cheap idea. The fact that it hasn't been implemented makes me wonder if GWB is really interested in stemming the flow of illegals or protecting our borders.

How do you punich an employer who hires a person with a valid (forged) social security card and a valid driver's license.? There is no national ID card. There is no national language law. An employer can comply with the law and STILL be hiring illegals.

Wistleblower bounties would only lead to retaliation calls whenever someone gets passed over for someone with an accent.

Even a national ID card would not fix things, look at europe where most countries have national ID cards but out of control illegal aliens.

The wall is needed to keep entry at points WE want, not to the convenience of law breakers.
