Where do we start ? Well gov't could have made the SS# verification program MANDATORY for employers to use. Then actually FINE some of the employers of illegals, give them some *incentive* to hire only legals.
Remove ALL the *incentives* to be in the US illegally.....free health care, anchor babies, welfare, etc, etc, etc.
Enforce our *existing* immigration laws.
THEN offer some 'guest worker' program, IF we need it. To be applied for from origin county ONLY & distributed equally.
They could also *streamline* our procedures for those WAITING to come here legally, in accordance with the workers we need.

Agree w/ you 100%...& would add: require Mexican govt.to house
their criminals in
their prisons (@ our expense)
But, now that the situation is so far out of hand - how to rectify & achieve voluntary repatriation of the "dependents" ?

All rolled into one thing, fines, the rest become unnecessary. If you simply allow and enforce fines that approach the ludicrous, companies will do all that's necessary to ensure they are not employing illegals.
"Remove ALL the *incentives* to be in the US illegally.....free health care, anchor babies, welfare, etc, etc, etc."
Absolutely, and add schooling on that list as well. Our schools do not exist to educate the children of sovereignty-violating criminals.
"Enforce our *existing* immigration laws."
Agreed - and strengthen them.
"THEN offer some 'guest worker' program, IF we need it. To be applied for from origin county ONLY & distributed equally."
Someone earlier posted a statistic that roughly 9 million people apply for work visas to come to the US and work every year, while we only give out about 50,000. If we truly need more workers, we should simply increase the number of visas given to those who've applied lawfully.
"They could also *streamline* our procedures for those WAITING to come here legally, in accordance with the workers we need."
Replacement of the INS with something that actually works sounds good to me.
