How do you stop a military invasion? Secure the borders. In this case, we build walls, fences, moats, whatever is necessary. Use the military to backup the Border Patrol until we can increase our border security forces. While the barriers are being built, start enforcing the provision of the IRCA of 1986, which prosecutes and punishes employers who violate the law by hiring illegals. At the same time, Congress needs to change the law that gives free medical services and welfare handouts to illegal aliens. Most Americans support everything I listed. Now we just have to get the CongressCritters to grow some cojones and do whats right.
Maybe this isn't a bad thing. Sensenbrenner has already publicly stated McKennedy is dead in the House so let the Senate pass it. Even though Kyl/Cornyn is almost as bad that probably stood a better chance of getting through so most likely when it's all over we'll get what the vast majority of us want, an enforcement only bill.
The problem with amnesty is that it just begets more illegal immigration. In 1986 we gave amnesty to 3 million illegals and now 20 years later we have 12 million (and there have been 6 mini amnesties in between).
It sends the message to the world that we are not serious about our immigration laws. If they can just get here, sooner or later we will make them citizens. It makes all those poor people who are trying to follow our laws by standing in line for years look like smucks.

Don't you get the impression when you read threads like this one that we're watching The Washington Post types who come here all the time to cause trouble?
Exactly, stop the FREE health care and welfare then they lose half the incentives.
They certainly can't be talking about an advantage with the American people...We are against them...Obviously it's an advantage with the bribers who pay for the presidential and congressional elections...
This administration has been putting the screws to their people for some time now...I don't trust 'em...On anything...I no longer trust them on the war on terror...On Iraq...
I don't.
You want to become a US citizen, you go through the proper channels. Just like millions of foreigners have done throughout our history.
When WAS the last time you trusted Republicans? Ever?
You sound like your a leftist posting from the LA Times.
I am standing where I have always been standing and the Republican Party hasn't been seen around these parts since Ronald Reagan left office.
I don't disagree with that. But there are a lot of you on this thread who have hardly ever had a good thing to say about this administration and if you're conservatives, I think I'd faint.
I am for sealing the borders and forcefully addressing the illegal immigration, but elected officials are not. It's really at crisis level, IMO.
Of course I agree with you regarding the host of the WP types who never miss an opportunity to be led my MSM.
Fools??? George Bush still employs Democrats installed by Clinton...We (including you) ARE the fools for allowing these derelicts into our gov't at the last election cycle...The democrats already control the gov't...We just call them Republicans...
It's not often, but once in a while there's just nothing to say in response. LOL
Please stop with the "I'll never vote for them again". The same immigration issue was on the table in the '04 elections but they had record turnout and the Republicans won big time.
The Democratic party has become the US National Communist Party, while the Republican Party has been transformed into the National Socialist Party. The only difference is that the Republicans allow a role for Religion in our civil affairs. We really do need a third party; a National Conservative Party.
That would be good, but it won't happen in my lifetime, imo. Things will have to get much, much worse.
Everyone wants to come here. That's why we just might as well help them make their own countries follow a democracy/capitalist formula.
