Solving the problem of illegal immigration is going to require a multi-faceted and complex response.
Yes, we need to dry up the lure of employment by enforcing sanctions against employers who knowingly employ illegals.
We need to deport illegals who commit felonies and keep them out.
We need to seal the border between ports of entry.
And we need to the last first, and do it now, before any more of my neighbors die. And if anyone's solution doesn't acknowledge that priority, theirs is the wrong solution.
I don't mind a debate, but that is a bedrock position from which I will not budge.
I think that all the laws we have on the books, state and federal, will do all that and more if people start enforcing it. we don't need laws or troops, we need balls.
