well, the last thing any conservative (and especially libertarian) wants is some giant secret police like the Stasi or KGB in order to find and deport all these people.
I believe the main focus should be on Mexico. The only reason why there are illegals crossing the border in the first place is because Mexico’s corruption destroys the economy. We have an even bigger, less protected border with Canada and we don’t have millions of canadians sneaking through. So if I was president, I’d be putting a lot of pressure on mexico to get their act together.

I think a tripling of the number of ICE agents is a good idea (then they would only be outnumbered about 3,000 to 1), but I agree that would be just part of the solution. I meant that we should at least make a good faith attempt at employment enforcement.

Good luck with that. Thanks to the drug wars (and no thanks to our government’s open borders policies) the situation is getting worse down there.
