Here's some Bible verses that deal with several issues regarding illegal immigration.

Has anyone considered trying a different tactic???? Like holding those who EMPLOY the illegals accountable? Good ole' Tyson here in Arkansas is likely one of the top (if not the top) Illegal employer in the state. It use to be a joke when the INS use to have more than ONE - yes ONE officer in the whole state - the state with the 2nd highest growth rate of hispanics (what percent illegal....???) in the country and would conduct a raid at either a tyson plant, or one of the housing areas used by employees.....sometimes several hundred illegals would be rounded up in a single night.
Now, with only one officer for the whole state - zero is begin done.
But if the laws on the books would be enforced or even strengthend with some real teeth... like say a MINIMUM fine of $10k PER OFFENSE (in other words, it wouldn't take long to add up: 200 illegals being employed, times $10K =$2 MILLION fine.) How long would it take for Tyson to quite hiring illegals?
Of course, the Republicans would call that "anti-business".... ugh. I'm going to bed now.
The more pressure we keep on Mexico, immigration-wise, the more reformers inside of Mexico can be emboldened and empowered to scale back monopolists' abuses down there which keep our own country flooded with economic refugees. Here's an interesting new thread on new legal progress that finally emerged in Mexico I think as a result of immigration reform's failure:

We can make a difference for our sake, and their's as well. Isn't it the neighborly thing to do?
