If they have 6.8 billion bucks that is not being used by homeland security why not simply fund the border patrol, hire the patrolman we need, build tent cities(with proper wire around them) to house the illegal aliens while we process them and ship them back where they came from. This includes aliens already here.

With the added border patrol and cessation of the catch and release program we might start to make some real gains on the problem.

I think this bill is ok but I do not think we need any new laws to handle the problem, just enforcement of the ones we have.

It should really pi** people off that this much money is lying about and they haven't used it yet to do anything about the NORTH and SOUTH borders. We need to control both if we are to stop terrorists or at least slow them down.

I disagree in one area, the area that really is the crux of Washington's ONE AMERICA attitude, and the basis for pandering to Mexico along with open border policy -- and that is the concept of "cheap" labor -- there really is no such thing first off, because who pays the overhead on illegals?? Yes, we, the taxpayer do. Who then benefits?? Yes, the big coporations that pour lots of campaign bucks into political parties....getting the picture now??

The real effective measure will be to heavily penalize companies that hire illegals. But now, do you think that is ever going to happen...given why all this is happening???
