LOL. Don't go all squishy on us, TE!
Can't win for losin', eh?
Control the borders. (no excuses, just do it)
Crack down hard on employers of illegals. Summary of Title VII of H.R. 4437Employment Eligibility Verification H.R. 4437 is a good start. It eliminates the lame excuse "employers aren't document experts." Implement it in six months instead of two years from now. Harsher penalties are fine with me. Extend the bill to include provisions for aggressive enforcement. Search these employers out and prosecute relentlessly.
I don't recommend increasing efforts to find illegals except on the border. But those who are found by any authority should be acted upon immediately. The FedGov should make every effort to facilitate local LEAs and expedite detainment and/or deportation.
Tent city jails on the border for illegals and employers of illegals with work crews to build border security infrastructure.
