....You have ducked my questions. How are the laws going to be enforced? Who is going to do it? Who pays the cost to business for compliance?....

I haven't ducked your questions. I told you how they would be enforced and the two first steps to enforce them.

....From your posts, I know a couple of things..You think that there is a simple slogan-type of solution and you have never owned a business that had to deal with the government....

You don't know anything about me. I own my own business in an area flooded with illegal and legal aliens. I have dealt with the government for years including the Immigration Service and have been involved with the immigration problem close to thirty years. I am in contact with lots of Agents on the front lines of the border in many different capacities. I lobbied Congress during the 1986 Reform Act and I know first hand they were bought off/influenced by the Farm Bureau. The amnesty was the carrot part and sanctions were to be the stick. They failed because Congress failed to fund the enforcement/santions provisions and shortly after employers became aware that they could weasel out of sanctions in many cases by having employees use false documents. Congress has never had the will to face this problem and neither have any of the presidents since the 1950's. The buck starts and stops at the top.

First, I`m totally for closing the border and want the illegals out. My problem is that, if we listen to the bomb throwers that often post here, nothing will get done.
If you own a business, you can`t be for more government interference. No way, especially if you have a small biz.
The Presidents proposals are a good place to start.Why not support them, give our imput on changes and get something done?
I wrote my Senators and GWB and thanked Bush for his proposal, advocated more fences, and local cops having to turn over illegals to the BP. Its a start
