While a large percentage, probably a majority, of those illegally in the US crossed the southern border, there are still other ways to get in. Also, many of those who are here illegally (from just about every country on earth) were admitted legally on tourist or other temporary visas. Until we have legislation (and enforcement) to end the 'anchor baby' policy, prosecute employers, and create penalties for being in the country illegally, the illegal alien problem will not end.

The problem may never end but if CONSUMERS will pay attention (but nothing else) to those employers who right now are whining about the situation--pear growers, for example--and refuse to patronize illegal employers--scofflaw employers would wither and die. That doesn't solve the whole Government Benefits incentive to illegals, but it's a start.

We need to better encourage Liberty-Seekers under oppressive rulers around the world to have their own Boston Tea Parties. The overseas Bush Doctrine needs badly to be better applied HERE....
