Build the wall.
Heavily fine US businesses which employ illegal aliens.
Heavily fine US real estate firms which rent or sell to illegal aliens.
Enforce existing laws and deport violators.

I don't care if the border is not 100% sealed. Just start making an effort. Sheesh!

The Israelis have put up a security wall that stands about 30 feet tall. It has been very effective in stopping terrorist attacks both by car and by foot. Think of what it could do for our illegal immigration problem and the Islamic terrorists coming across!

What if there was a private fund raising drive, (by FR?) that was tax-deductible, to finance the construction of a border wall like this? The funds that would be raised could be used to hire the Israeli firm that built the wall in Israel with the stipulation that they hire skilled Americans for its construction. This would rankle Obama like you wouldn't believe. And we'd need a few token illegal Mexicans to help build the wall so it would bring some irony to the whole story.

Yes!!

But nooo, if we can't do it 100%, we're not going to do anything at all. Seriously? My cat can come up with something better than that.
