The plan Bush proposed today makes them legal. The part about getting into the system at the end of the line is about becoming citizens not becoming legal residents.

As for mass deportations; all the administration has to do is enforce the laws already on the books. It is illegal to hire an illegal alien. Corporate executives can go to jail for doing it. Put a few executives in jail and watch the jobs dry up.

It is also illegal to conspire with a criminal to commit or cover up a federal crime. Put some of the people who harbor the alien criminals in jail and fewer of them will help the criminals.

There is also the Rico law, which is mostly used to persecute Christians who are trying to keep babies from being killed. The RICO law allows the government to confiscate the assets of any company or group that is suspected entering a criminal conspiracy. It is then up to the entity that forfeited the property to prove they are innocent.

If the feds confiscated a couple of companies, say Tyson Foods, the jobs would really dry up. That’s how you fix the problem. You don’t fix it by rewarding the criminals.

I think it's rather safe to say that neither this administration nor any administration after will ever be willing to enforce mass deportations. Regardless of what the laws are.

As far as putting corporate executives in jail that's a rather absurd notion as well. If any company has an illegal immigrant on their payroll you can be quite assured that the person is rather low on the food chain and that culpability for th crime would be relegated to whoever is in charge of hiring and that will most likely not be anyone worth going after. Because whoever he is replaced with will be expected to keep the cost of labor to the company down as well.

I'm not quite sure how you'll be able to go after the head of food companies either when they'll just cite that their growers are independent contrators that are part of a large conglomerate.

Of course attempting all of this will get the US goverment slapped with many lawsuits and accussations of civil and human rights violations all while failing to provide tracebility of the illegal immigrant that are already here nor will it help to stem the influx of illegal immigrants.

Do you have any other suggestions?
