My God Fed Ex was said tongue in cheek.

I thought you were channeling Newt who said something similar and it wasn't tongue in cheek.

"You should control the border, which I have pledged to do by January 1, 2014. You should fix legal immigration in terms of visas so people can come and go more easily than doing it illegally. You should have a guest worker program, probably run by American Express, Visa or MasterCard so they minimize fraud, which the federal government won't do. And you should have much stronger employer penalties at that point because you can validate it."

They would probably be miles ahead if they contracted enforcement out to private companies. The profit motive out does bureaucracy every time.

I have no problem with using private companies to perform certain government functions. Visas involve security issues along with other problems. We have plenty of problems with visa fraud in the State Department with a number of US Consular Officers selling visas. The temptations are great.

Civilians are easier to fire and prosecute than civil servants.

I don't see any bi-partisan effort actually happening on amnesty.

Amnesty illegal immigration is a great issue for the left! They win if we do cave and win if we don't.

How we get sucked into these things time after time when we have a debt of 16 trillion caused by the left is beyond me!

our side is pretty strong on securing the border first and unless we are wiling to believe that the obamba adm. will actually do that, which they never would in a million years, why would we ever agree to anything they want at all.

What they want is winning elections forever with more LIV voters that they can easily buy with our money. That's what it is all about. In the end they will get what obama wants even if he has to do it by EO which is what he probably has planned anyway.
