I do not know all of the circumstances of this case, but it is for a fact another tragedy that could have and should have been prevented God Bless those kids family. That being said, I think the laws we have are sufficient. Hopefully I don’t get flamed too bad, but here is what I think some possible solutions are; 1- no border fence(reminds me of the Berlin Wall and other walls or fences remember Reagan's "Tear Down This Wall" this seems to fly in the face of that famous statement), let the border agents and DEA do their jobs as best they can at the border. 2- Why do they come here? Because people hire them! it's where the candy is! We need to go after people who employ illegals, (take away the candy!) and by that I mean anyone who hires them, from the homeowners, farmers, small businesses to Corporations that has them do their yard work, or any other labor in on or around any of their property. When I say go after them I mean when they are caught I would charge them with hiring an illegal, make them pay the prevailing wage (for that area) for whatever work they were performing, pay all taxes that would have been paid everyone else who plays by all the rules, they would also have to pay for their incarceration and deportation! 3- The money collected would go back to the community that was affected be these "traitors" to train welfare "lifers" and folks who do try for gainful employment but cannot afford getting paid less than half of what would normally be paid to do thes jobs. However, there is one thing in this whole illegal alian thing I just cannot seem to grasp, I have turned in illegals to local law enforcement and was told it was not their problem, are they not breaking the law? Isn't that what law enforcement does? ENFORCE the LAW! I was not aware they could choose which laws they could choose to enforce! I received a speeding ticket on the highway by a sheriff, he is not the highway patrol, this should not have been his problem, right? I now wonder what his response would have been if I would have told him that speeding on the highway is not his problem and I know he understands, so I'll see ya later bye bye! I have contacted a couple of local unions and they said their is nothing they could do, but their "trying", they always seem to be having a meeting with county and state representatives about this issue. They all claim possible discrimination, and I told them IT IS! IT DISCIMINATES AGAINST LAW BREAKERS! This is just the beginning, theres more to it, I'm just putting this out as a "feeler" to read what you all think, or not!

That's ridiculous. Your analogy just doesn't work. The Berlin Wall was built to keep the people in...the state became a prison. Our border fence is to keep people out who have NO right to be here!
