The drift of our conversation was what it would take to get rid of them. You mentioned auditing and investigating so I was trying to get you to figure out how many new govt employees we would need.
And I'm trying to tell you I don't know. The government estimates there's 10+ million illegals in the country. If you couple strong employer enforcement with mandatory Social Security verification the government could probably get a handle on the problem eventually.
If Bush wants a guest worker program so bad he's going to have to offer concessions and this is one of them. At least that's what DeLay is saying.
