I wish it was the kiss of death, but the Republicans seem to be caving on this one, too. I can't believe we'd grant citizenship to people who we know have broken the law.

While border security is one step, the real solution is hefty fines on companies that hire illegals. This also means that the cost of verifying credentials must also fall on companies. While my lettuce may bump up in price a few cents, that's much cheaper than the free ride I'm giving them now through my tax subsidies of them and their families. Nope...it's a small price to pay and the only way to staunch the flow: Take away the reason for the flow...jobs.

I was talking to a real estate manager from San Diego on the plane today... she told me that fraudulent IDs are plentiful and if you check them out and they come up valid, you get punished.

I am not sure how that works, but if that is the story she has been told, someone is putting it out.

I agree. Who is going to reimburse me for having to spend $130/year on Credit Monitoring now that my personal information was stolen (and probably sold) along with millions of other veteran's personal information?

Any illegal alien that uses a US Citizen's SSN fraudulently is a felon, period.
