“And he has a ranch in Texas, so he knows personally the stupidity of building a fence anywhere around Laredo,” he said. “It’s horrendously expensive to build and maintain and will do no good whatsoever.”

Call the waaahhhhmbulance!

[A CA Guy]

Yes he is......with a passion!

Seems to me that all you have to do is establish an employee data base the employers have to verify status with.
Make it Federal, consisting of a picture, SS or other number & DNA in case of criminality.
Make the employers verify the person and if they don't and pay under the table, fine and eventually award the employer with a felony.

Do that and millions will have to go back on their own first to gain legal entry or they will have little or no work,

The illegals will have to remove themselves or probably starve and we won't have to use resources to remove them.

[stephenjohnbanker]

I can check any of my potential employees back to the fetus in 30 minutes. This whole thing is a scam!

[Mogollon]

Just heard Dubya in Nuevo Laredo bragging again about the border patrol deporting 6 million illegals in the last few years. Yet he maintains that deporting 12 million illegals is impossible.

Seems to me if they did they same thing they did to deport 6 million for twice as long they could deport 12 million. But that's just a thought from the unwashed serfdom.

[A CA Guy]

What the President wants to do is a scam IMO on this issue.

Of course as an employer you can check if you want to, but those wanting to use illegals are willing to take at face value false documentation knowingly.
That is why I said they need to change the focus of this and require the employer to verify the employee with a Federal data base.
If employers do not do so, or get caught employing under the table, fine them, then fine them more, and eventually jail them with a felony if they don't get with it.

Once the employer issue is handled, most of the illegal issues will take care of itself.

[A CA Guy]

You force the employers to verify employees with a Federal data base that had finger prints, pictures, numbers and DNA and the illegals will either starve or have to exit and try to re-enter legally.

It is really simple and would remove most illegals with little work.

[Dane]

Hey SJB, which is a bigger threat to America.

Knowing your animistic biaes it probably is the strawberry picker named Jose, who is raisng a family and doesn't lobby local school boards to promote the homosexual agenda.

“I was in the Air Force National Guard seven years,” Jacobs explained. “We use soldiers to kill people. The Guard was not trained to look for undocumented immigrants in the monte of South Texas.”

Using this idiots logic, the next hurricane that hits the coast that requires the guard to help in the recovery, they should be given orders just to shoot all of the survivors and save money.

Only in Laredo can some say that and be left unchallenged.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Dennis Nixon, International Bank of Commerce president & CEO, and Gary J. Jacobs, Laredo National Bank chairman of the board, said greater high-tech surveillance, the dispatching of National Guardsman to the border and building a wall will not stem the tide of illegal immigration.

Bush's fat cat corporate cronies....

[hosepipe]

Amnesty = 20 million (or so) brand new democrat VOTERS?..

A stealth campaign for Hillary.. no doubt..
As republicans snore.. BRILLIANT..

[La Enchiladita]

Just heard Dubya in Nuevo Laredo bragging again about the border patrol deporting 6 million illegals in the last few years.

Did you hear him on radio or local television?

Here are a couple of photo ops from Artesia, New Mexico, today.

Pres "greeting" BP agents.

Meanwhile, down at the border...

"Two bankers who have closely followed the increasingly bitter debate expressed their concerns with recent proposals from Congress. ....... ........Dennis Nixon, International Bank of Commerce president & CEO, and Gary J. Jacobs, Laredo National Bank chairman of the board, said greater high-tech surveillance, the dispatching of National Guardsman to the border and building a wall will not stem the tide of illegal immigration. ............... ...............The best way to control Mexican immigration is to allow people who come to work in the United States to come and go freely, Jacobs said." Perhaps Mr. Jacobs and Mr. Nixon are sweating R.I.C.O. bullets? I don't think there is a remedy in 2611 for their predictament. "Some large U.S. financial corporations currently accept the matricula as primary or secondary ID for the purpose of opening bank accounts in the United States for illegal aliens. An illegal alien with a U.S. bank account, in which he or she may deposit illegally acquired funds, and out of which he or she may pay local rent, local utility bills, and send money abroad, is more likely to remain illegally in the United States. In other words, he or she is encouraged to remain illegally in the United States — such encouragement being a violation of Federal law. When such a violation is done for the purpose of financial gain, as in the case of the financial corporations engaged in the practice, it is more than simply a violation of immigration law — it is racketeering . Also, those contemplating entering the United States illegally will be further encouraged to do so because of the added benefits they can obtain once they enter. Thus, it is reasonable to say that acceptance of the matricula is a violation of the INA and a predicate offense under RICO."

[La Enchiladita]

In today's news, el presidente visits the border! Wow, huh?

[rock58seg]

He does however have a fence around his ranch. Now why do you suppose that is?

[ncountylee]

He also supports tougher border law enforcement and citizenship for illegal immigrants who have spent years in this country, so long as they pay back taxes and demonstrate English proficiency.

Amnesty with a very transparent disguise.

[ncountylee]

Not an either or situation, I'm against both. Oppose the President on amnesty but proudly support his position on gay marriage.
