What about our unsecured borders, the millions that continue to pour in, and the millions already here.

Where is the plan for that?

Rep- Ariz J.D. Hayworth's "enforcement first" proposal provides $50k fines for each illegal and jail time for business owners hiring illegals.

Once a couple business owners are in jail and paying $50k fines, the jobs that bring illegals here will quickly dry up and the problem will take care of itself.

There's the plan. Any questions?

Exactly. I, for one, would be in favor of a guest worker program it it were coupled with meaningful and demonstrated enforcement of the borders.

I'd also be in favor of letting guest workers who desired it earn citizenship by showing a demonstrated desire to assimilate by learning English, respecting our culture and raising children who did likewise. Such a demonstration should include staying off the government dole, paying taxes and all things that past immigrants were required to do to earn citizenship.

I'd even let those here illegally have a chance at it if they were willing to come forward, pay a fine and apply legally under the same provisions of the law.

Applicants would get points based upon their demonstrated ability and willingness to become good citizens, not on the basis of their ethnic group.
