"A fence IS the least effective."

As opposed to what????

Glad you asked.

Let us say that your front yard is filled with tens of thousand of flies every garbage pick up day because your uncovered garbage cans are filled with smelly garbage that attracts the flies.

What to do?

Well, you could "build a fence" and have the flies fly over it just as easily as Mexicans can dig under a fence or climb a ladder over a fence.

You could spend hours every day chasing flies with a fly swatter trying to catch every single last one of the tens of thousands of flies.

Or ........

you could .......

...... drum roll, please......

CLOSE THE GARBAGE CAN LID?

In short, cut off the supply of jobs that attracts the illegals.

McCain-Kennedy bill would: require that employers participate in an electronic system for work authorization verification. .... double the upper and lower bounds defining the range of fines employers could be charged for different types of IRCA violations.

Closed garbage can lid = No available smelly food = Hungry flies = Flies fly away on their own to look for smelly food elsewhere.

Heavy illegal employer sanctions = No emplyers willing to hire illegals = No jobs for illegals = Illegals go home.

Illegal aliens are self-deporting from Georgia

You, my friend, are full of it!

If believing that makes you fell beter, you keep believing that.

Have fun trying to build a wall high enough so that flies can't fly over it while ignoring the obvious solution.

What "obvious solution"? Slitting your wrists and letting the RINOs crap all over you so the flies have more places to feed?

Do you really think Ted ("Jalisco no te rajes") Kennedy would support a bill that would support a bill that would do something about illegals? Not to mention what happens to bills when they get behind closed doors in the senate-house conference.

I think all of us support e-verify, but also an effective enforcement mechanism to back up e-verify. It's true that a fence by itself, without adequate support, will do nothing, but it's also true that e-verify will not work very well without a well thought-out system in place to use it, with a dedicated and numerically sufficient staff, with good faith support from other govt. branches like IRS and Social Security.

The price of McCain's solution: amnesty. So the current illegals and traitorous employers would be rewarded for their patience; future illegals would know that they will be welcomed eventually.

Hey, how stupid do you think everyone is here at FreeRepublic?

You and I both know too things:
1. This would only be implemented AFTER Illegals already here were given Amnesty
2. The implementation would be lackluster at best, just like the anemic or nonexistent way the punishments included in Reagan's Amnesty bill were implemented.
