A combination of the Korean DMZ and Hadrian's Wall and of course the Israeli security fence would do the job.

That's quite a big paint brush you use, but that's to be expected from someone who can't really debate the issues at hand.
Good bye.
Good joke.
I agree (almost) totally. I do not think we need more laws for government and business to ignore to suit their self-interests, however. I've outlined how to do without new laws on other threads.
"merely want to support their families by doing an honest day's labor"
I am afraid that's something many are missing. Scores of ILLEGAL immigrants have normal jobs they are not criminals or rowdy day laborers. I've suggested how they could continue to do so without new laws. As others have suggested start by getting rid of the real criminals.
Was goin back through the thread and missed your reply #77 as the usual one issue posse names on FR on this issue posted their usual, IMO, blast faxed replies. Sorry about the delay.
No the ends do not justify the means, just as LBJ's ending a guest worker program that actually worked was dismantled and brought about the problem we have now.
Have you not been reading the papers? ICE is currently looking for 300,000 aliens that did not show up for their deportation hearings. Many of those are felons. That’s why ICE and DHS have made them a priority.
The only time they get deported is if ICE knows they are in jail and informs the jail to tell ICE when they are to be released, so ICE can pick them up. There is currently no tracking system for illegal aliens in Local and State jails and prisons. It’s all hit or miss.
As I suspect you know, local and State jails don’t coordinate with ICE very well and ICE does not coordinate with anyone very well.

The conventional wisdom at Free Republic is that if you start enough threads and keep them bumped up, Congress will deport the mexicans.
"The chance seems slim for finding common ground between those in favor of liberalized immigration laws - Bush, Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger for example.."
The usual suspects.
I'd bet a lot of these illegal aliens who commit felonies have their sentences plea bargained down to a misdemeanor by liberal judges. Isn't that what happened in New York City a couple of years ago when that gang of illegals kidnapped and raped a woman. A couple of those illegals had run afoul of the law before but of course NYC has some kind of sanctuary policy involving illegal aliens.
This is to inform you that your deportation hearing will be at 1pm, Tuesday next month, please be there.
Yours Truly Uncle Sam.
Pretty imprssive enforcement, huh? And did you know that local LE is PROHIBITED from inquiring into the immigration status of persons arrested for felonies? More impressive enforcement huh? Yup, the government is doing everything it can to catch and deport illegal alien felons.
So thats it. Nobody else has any say in this matter. If true we ought to invite King George of England back to rule over us.
Somebody hold me back!
Not even the President.
Everyone here sets their own preferences.

If true, doesn't this bother you ?
