What?
It really isn't complicated.
Seal the border.
Enforce our laws.
All it requires is the political will.
For the reasons outlined above, it wont be that easy. 48% voted for John Kerry. When that 48% starts seeing the mass "Elian" raids every night, that 48% will turn into 55% over night, and then anchor babies will be your future congressmen. Bi-lingual education will be mandatory and the Department of Discrimination will be formed. Stem the tide first. Once its contained, we can debate what to do with the people already here. First, I favor immediate deportation for the gang members from south of the border, the vehicular manslaughterers, and drug mules. Once we get rid of that element, we can work on a strict "assimiliation" test. Mandatory English, welfare benefits for a 6 month period, commit no crimes, no wire transfers of money over say, 50 dollars, no voting until citizenship (if eligible)and no public offices held, would be a good start. A fringe benefit might be the stringent tests would force people to leave because they are unable ot unwilling to comply. Just an idea..
