Yes, and I would carry same.

The first order of business in getting the illegals out is verifying who is and who isn't an illegal alien. Notice that a lot of folks say "THEY have to prove they're here legally, I don't." On what basis do they say that?

Nothing draconian is necessary in order to address the illegal alien problem. It'd be no more difficult than having employers and social services require proof of citizenship at the time they hire or apply for goodies.

IMO the draconian part comes in sentencing of offenders. Anyone caught employing illegals would pay a hefty fine the first time, the second time said employer goes to jail. Anyone caught fabricating ID's gets the chair.

Problem solved!
