[ I guess these folks expect the dog catchers to get out there and round up 13 million people with their nets and trucks and haul them out of "their" country. ]

Cutting off automatic welfare benefits for each Anchor baby is also another deterrent to keep them home.

It is already illegal to hire them. However, the Bush administration refuses to properly enforce those laws. We don't need new laws, we only need to enforce the current laws. If an employer hid a few thousand dollars from the IRS, they'll track it down and hunt him down years later. They'll get it back with stiff penalties too. However, if the same employer hires a few thousand criminal invaders, he can just keep on doing it. If he gets caught, he gets a slap on the wrist and doesn't have to pay anyone back. Look at the interior enforcement record since Bush took office:
