OK, now I see - you missed the genesis of this discussion. MNJohnnie was again accusing Hayworth of ONLY talking and of doing nothing (he does that a lot). In response to his factless claim, I posted a link to the bill that Hayworth introduced in Sept 05. (Later, Cboldt posted a permanent link, mine timed out.)
My position WRT illegals is: Secure the borders first to stem the flow, then start sending back the illegals who are already here.
What it take to get those two things get done, I really don't care much.
Just git 'er done.
We can discuss immigration reform after all that. Definitely not before.
It is real easy to get rid of the illegals.
As you may, or may not, know, employers file quarterly reports which include names, addresses, and SS numbers.
The Feds get a list every 90 days of every bogus SS number being used.
With this fact, the feds can do any number of things such as go out and arrest/deport the illegal or simply write a letter to the employer telling him to fire the illegal.
The feds don't need the employer, they can do it theselves. And they could have been doing it for the last 20 years.
But they don't.
