"Well... sounds like a status quo statement if I ever heard one."
Then you've never heard one.
We have to do something *smarter* than what was done back in the 1950's.
That "something" is registration. Get illegals registered, and while you're at it, get their employers registered with our government too. It is their anonymity that makes this problem such a resource hog.
Registration ends that anonymity.
Then you've never heard one. An assumption. If you are going to play the "status quo" card, do you homework.
Speaking of assumptions... you are assuming they will register (errrr... not run to the Canadian border... where they are being "classified" as refugees...not illegals). And you assume they will honor the 6 year "guest" program. They are not law abiding.
