The House is expected to vote today on a border enforcement and employee work verification bill, which calls for more U.S. Border Patrol agents, mandatory database checks of employees' eligibility to work, expanding expedited removal of illegal aliens and allowing sheriffs along the border to help enforce immigration law. Some Republicans already were threatening to try to block the bill if they didn't get a chance to vote...

During a meeting of the House Rules Committee, which was setting the rules for today's debate and deciding which amendments will get floor votes, Mr. Sensenbrenner repeatedly said the bill makes unlawful presence a felony. That went too far for some members of the committee, including those who had intended to support the bill. "As far as I'm concerned, the wheels just came off the bus. No one believes we're going to arrest 11 million people," said Rep. Adam H. Putnam, Florida Republican.

And right there is the HEART of the problem. The illegals do not believe anything will happen to them when they flip the finger at our laws which is why their crime rate is astronomical.

The time has come for America to enforce the law and round up all the illegals and ship them out (no they can not take there illegally gotten possessions) and arrest the employers that caused so much hardship on the American Citizens that lost jobs, houses, cars, marriages, etc due to greedy employers illegally hiring aliens that have no business being in this country.
