"I suggest this. Build a fence- it's cheap, you can build it 10 foot high with barb wire on top for 680 million dollars. We spend six billion a year just incarcerating criminal aliens against those who come in and commit crimes against Americans. This would make the best return."

Okay, first of all, God Bless Steve King!  We need more like him in Washington!

That being said, there's two problems with the fence idea.  One is that they'll just dig a hole under it, cut a hole in it, or throw a blanket over the top and climb over it.  Two is that it could serve as a deterrent to them going back home.

What needs to be done is a two pronged approach:

1.  ENFORCE LAWS AGAINST EMPLOYERS:  A $10k fine for each employed illegal and one year in prison for a second conviction will dry up all the jobs within a month.

2.  ENFORCE IMMIGRATION LAWS:  Whenever an illegal comes in contact with any entity that receives any sort of federal funding, be it police, schools, hospitals, fire departments, welfare offices, banks etc. they must report the illegal to ICE.  Upon apprehension, the illegal is immediately shipped off to a detention center for repatraiation (no release so they can "get their affairs in order" or pending a hearing).  Central/South Americans are all dumped off on the Mexican border, Africans and Chinese can be put aboard old freight ships and run aground at any location on the appropriate continent.  They can find their way home from there.

Once there are no jobs and the immenint possibility that Juan may not be coming home tonight, these people will by and large deport themselves.

No we're talking about a real Concrete reinforced fence (30 Ft High at least) built to ISRAELI Specs, a la, keep out terrorists, bombers, and anybody else, backed up with sensors, cameras, and the like.

Then a buffer zone with patrol lanes, and then the chain link with RAZOR WIRE.

We cut off entry to anybody who cannot FLY over the Border.

Another idea I think would help:
Abolish the federal income tax system, and replace it with the Fair Tax.
Neil Boortz has just written a book on this.
It would not only bring home jobs to America, it would help eliminate the need for hiring illegals under the table.
Our businesses are overtaxed...heck we're all overtaxed. The incentive for hiring illegals under the table would disappear, if there was no income tax, FICA, Medicare withholdings, etc.

A fence is a great idea. In the meantime every illegal caught should receive a mandatory jail sentence. We should deduct both the cost for capturing the illegal and incarceration from the aid we give to that country. The corrupt officials from Mexico, etc... will then act to help stem the tide of illegal immigration. People react when you hurt them in their wallets.

Upon apprehension, the illegal is immediately shipped off to a detention center for repatraiation (no release so they can "get their affairs in order" or pending a hearing).

That works for me, but the courts would never allow it. Any such law or policy would be dead on arrival at the nearest federal court.
