Snippets: From the Gulf of Mexico to El Paso, the Parks and Wildlife Department has become a de facto state border patrol agency, and its wardens routinely apprehend smugglers carrying narcotics or illegal immigrants.
Memo to the President: Detecting illegal alien workers and their employers is easy per Alan Keyes
Snip: First, upgrade security at our borders using manpower, barriers, physical security measures (i.e., CCTV, drones), and no-nonsense penalties for violation of immigration laws.
Second, arrest and prosecute those who knowingly hire illegal aliens and those who harbor illegal alien workers. No more slaps on their wrists; give them some hard time in prison. You'll see how fast illegal alien employers become US citizen employers almost overnight when CEOs and managers see their colleagues wearing orange jumpsuits while housekeeping in the cells they share with their de facto husbands.
If those two components are implemented, the jobs will dry up and the illegal aliens will head home or turn themselves in for deportation. Mexicans living in the US illegally, will go back and take the jobs the Guatemalan illegal aliens are filling in Mexico.
The opportunity for employment is the most important magnet attracting illegal aliens to the United States. The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 established an employment eligibility verification process and a sanctions program for fining employers for noncompliance.

What do you suppose the President has been thinking? Did he really expect that we would not 'notice' 5 years post 9/11 that our borders are not secured or how few number of employers of illegals have been prosecuted under his watch? or that we would not ask why? or that we are just to stupid to figure it out on our own, put 2 and 2 together?
IMO, for me, anything less than an admission by Bush of his intentions about the North American Union, open borders and amnesty for illegals and employers, is all smoke and mirrors and a lie and I refuse to listen to his b.s. on the subject. I am absolutely disgusted by his continued attempts at deception in this regard. Alan Keyes got it right, but Bush's mind cannot be changed and his pretending to be on the same side we are is despicable. For instance, Bush can play the game by saying he wants harsh punishment for employers of illegals, but the point is mute when in the same breath the illegals become legal and employers are given amnesty. Nothing but a shell game and sadly, we are the victims.
