[Joe Hadenuf]

The way to put a stop to the invasion is the absolute uncompromising enforcement of the Federal Immigration and Nationality Act - bring action against persons or businesses that employ illegals thus committing a federal felony with all of its consequences. Nothing could be simpler than that.

Does anyone want to take a guess as to why the Federal Government has not done this?

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

It would incriminate all the wrong people? I don't know.

Because Americans have not demanded it!...yet
And that's why it is left up to people like us to wake up the sleeping masses to the cost of illegal immigration in not only dollars but homeland security and quality of life for all Americans !

They can't. The only power they have is the one enumerated in the Constitution to repel invasion and secure the borders.

Illegals are still people in the common or natural-law sense of the word. Without the creation of the legal entity via a birth certificate from one of the states, government has no jurisdiction and therefore no control until issuance of a visa, green card, or other form of official FEDERAL documentation.

They still persons according to law because they're illegals.

Before anyone yells about tinfoil, answer this-

'States' are defined in the codes as a 'political subdivisions'. A political subdivision is an artificial thing.

So how can a real, live human being be born inside something artificial?

Because George W. Bush hasn't ordered it so... because he doesn't want to.
