Building a fence, stricter enforcement, along with some type of workers visa for those illegals who have been here (say 5 years) which they can use while becoming citizens is exactly what is needed.
The next step is to correct and set more reasonable levels for the number of citizenship's we allot for immigrents during the next decade.
Thank God someone is thinking. I been screaming that the votes to "deport them all" were not there. What will be interesting to see is what the Dems do. I am talking about individual dems. Besides a few they have been silent it seems. A few might break and endorse a good bill so it doesnt hurt them come election time. That would negate the hard core conservatives that are yelling no compromise. Of course I expect that the Dem leadership would be infuriated but I don't think they can hold a party line vote on this if a decent proposal comes down that has security and a reasonable guest worker program.
