According to a speech he gave last week at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, he is pushing for bigger fines for employers who hire illegal immigrants, as well as tamper-proof identity cards for workers. I would love to challenge the President in seeing if I could duplicate one of his tamper proof cards.
Let him offer me a large sum, give me a copy of the card and a little time and I would make him IMO look like an @ss.
I don't counterfeit, but I know I could prove the President a liar on that card deal.
If that card has a connection to a Federal data base which has a correct picture, finger prints, DNA and all that, then I would be dead in the water.
That is why the President should create a Federal data base for employees. Get pictures, thumb prints, DNA and background checks from the foreign government they are coming from.
Make employers verify data and pay fines if caught hiring on the black market or ignoring the law. Eventually give them jail and a felony.
Do that and the illegals will dry up here and have to go home to not starve.

"he is pushing for bigger fines for employers who hire illegal immigrants"
Sure he is. Is that before or after he grants them both amnesty?
To: SwinneySwitch
Here's a Guest Worker program for you Mr. President.
Close the freakin borders, DEPORT those found, Jail those who knowingly hired them and then those Illegals can come back into the country like all of the LEGAL Immigrants do.
THROUGH THE FRONT STINKING DOOR!

If there is no Federal data base set up where they take pictures, finger prints, DNA and background checks, then what will an employer be able to verify anyway.
The tamper-proof card will be counterfeited.
Document fraud to make it look like they have been here for years will be all over the place.

Figures. How do you know he does not work for Alcada? The two on top are legal. Wake up before you make us have another 9/11.

At the very least, the message is getting through--as cynical as we can all be. It is actually kind of funny to watch. It definitely is stimulus (massive segment of pissed off conservative GOP base in open revolt on immigration) vs. response (the Commander in Chief flies to the border).
Otherwise, he would not have been down there.
He chose not to visit there for five years of his presidency (to my knowledge) or otherwise take any proactive action on this horrific national security and electoral/demographic nightmare of a problem. It is simply photo op of course--probably not much more than that--but it does show the power of the People when they start to rise in revolt against Washington and tell them enough is enough.
The heat must continue on this man and the Congress. And, further, we should keep in mind the relevance of my tagline here, to avoid being played as manageable, obedient saps any longer.

We must be honest and see what is real versus what we would like it to be. I don't call that cynicism, I call it courage.
The trip to the border is mere politics, a sham. Remember when he flew down to New Orleans 6 times in two weeks? Were there any concrete results or was it "appeasement?"
GWB will not change one iota on the issue.

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.
How the hell do you know if his name is Jose? You call EVERY hispanic male "Jose". If you are going to criticize someone for being racist, DON'T be a racist yourself by saying they are named the same based on their looks/origins.

Well, you have no argument with me there.
I was just pointing out how funny it is to see the President run to the border several times, like running to the toilet with a bad case of d_______, in a frantic effort to shore up support with photo ops. It is so keystone cop-ish, it isn't even funny. Who would believe such nonsense, since it had not occured in the first five years when he had a chance?
Its like a kid--to avoid a good whippin'--coming home early from school and immacuately cleaning up his room, mowing the lawn, and finishing all of his upcoming weekend chores...because later in the evening he has to show Mom and Dad a very bad report card.
