It can be done.

All it takes is the political will to stand up to corrupt US business people that hire the illegals, the border guards and cops that take the bribes, the judges that let the illegals walk, the American citizens that break the law by buying and using pot and coke, the judges that let them walk, the lawyers that defend them, the politicians that have vested interests in all phases of the illegals, and I could go on but this paragraph needs to end...and the first seven words said it all.

Might be helpful to read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bracero_Program

with particular attention to the chart showing the number of workers each year from 1942-1967.

Eisenhower invoked Operation Wetback to solve the growing problem of Jobs. The wetbacks had taken several million jobs and the GIs returning from WW2 were out of work.
It’s time to solve our unemployment problem again.

I have had to face the fact that there may be a significant number of American businessmen who welcome the cheap labor of the illegals and the downward pressure on all wages that this brings.

Appalling.

This sort of thing cannot be done today because there is NO politician of either party who actually wants the flood to abate, much less reverse. ALL of them desire the one party Democrat Socialist state that this will lead to. Whatever else they say about morality or free markets, all is negated by this one subject that comes down to Amnesty and 30-50 million new Democrat Socialist voters sooner or later. When that happens the last shred of the USA as it was until sometime between FDR and GWB will be forever gone.

I agree with the proposal to put troops at the border instead of building a fence. I also support Newt...

Newt believes America must be a nation of laws. The first duty of the federal government is national defense, and it is inexcusable that we haven’t secured the border. In his 21st Century Contract with America, Newt pledges to control the southern border by January 1, 2014, waiving any regulations and pushing aside any bureaucracies that get in the way.

As we secure the border, we must make an aggressive and serious effort to deport all criminals, gang members, and any other threats to our society as quickly as possible. We must also tap into the ingenuity of the private sector to better validate who is in the United States legally.

Newt opposed the DREAM Act. However, he did agree with part of the legislation which allowed those who came to the United States illegally as children to serve in the U.S. Military to earn their citizenship, just as foreign nationals are today allowed to do the same.

Furthermore, Newt has proposed giving local communities the authority to allow those with long established roots in the neighborhood a legal residency status, but not citizenship. Newt believes local communities are at a better vantage point to determine if those there illegally should stay or go. Under this system, we will send home those with no family or community ties and quickly deport those who have committed criminal and other destructive acts, while providing minimal disruption to families and communities.

Read Newt’s 10 step immigration plan here.

Profits from illegal labor led to the kind of corruption that apparently worried Eisenhower. Joseph White, a retired 21-year veteran of the Border Patrol, says that in the early 1950s

And now that same kind of corruption is used to pump money into DC to perpetuate itself. Thanks, Newt. Thanks, Bush 43. Thanks, McCain.

I was thinking of installing some proximity screachers, those high intensity sound devices that will drop you to your knees couple with the heat projectors, and have those heavily armored. Space them far enough to have some overlap.

But boots on the ground of course is the solution.

In “Operation Wetback” Eisenhower defied Republican interests. Agricultural interests that liked having illegal alien Mexicans. None the less, Eisenhower drove them out of town and back over the Mexico border with a minimum of law enforcement personnel

Back then the Mexicans feared “the Anglo” as we were called. When they were told to scoot they complied

During the 1950s, however, this "Good Old Boy" system changed under Eisenhower – if only for about 10 years.

In 1954, Ike appointed retired Gen. Joseph "Jumpin' Joe" Swing, a former West Point classmate and veteran of the 101st Airborne, as the new INS commissioner.

Influential politicians, including Sen. Lyndon B. Johnson (D) of Texas and Sen. Pat McCarran (D) of Nevada, favored open borders, and were dead set against strong border enforcement, Brownell said. But General Swing's close connections to the president shielded him – and the Border Patrol – from meddling by powerful political and corporate interests.

Compare that to Newt who already is promoting those powerful political and corporate interests.

He's co-opted before one primary vote is cast.

Oh...... Plus Herbert Hoover and Franklin D Roosevelt also drove out the Mexicans in the early 1930 during the Great Depression. With the Mexicans gone there were more agricultural jobs for Okies streaming into California (Grapes of Wrath) and other Americans too.

WIKIPEDIA:
The Mexican Repatriation refers to a mass migration that took place between 1929 and 1939, when as many as 500,000 people of Mexican descent were forced or pressured to leave the US.[1] The event, carried out by American authorities, took place without due process.[2] Some 35,000 were deported, amongst many hundreds of thousands of other immigrants who were deported during this period. The Immigration and Naturalization Service targeted Mexicans because of “the proximity of the Mexican border, the physical distinctiveness of mestizos, and easily identifiable barrios.” [3]

The Repatriation is not widely discussed in American history textbooks;[4] in a 2006 survey of the nine most commonly used American history textbooks in the United States, four did not mention the Repatriation, and only one devoted more than half a page to the topic.[4] Nevertheless, many mainstream textbooks now carry this topic, while subsequently ignoring other mass deportations and repatriations of European immigrants. In total,they devoted four pages to the Repatriation, compared with eighteen pages for the Japanese American internment[4] which affected only one-tenth as many people.[1]

These actions were authorized by President Herbert Hoover and targeted areas with large Hispanic populations, mostly in California, Texas, Colorado, Illinois and Michigan.

Though it can be done, in today`s politically correct, afraid-of-its-own-tail New America, the likelihood is practically nil. But we`ll talk about it a lot.

There are only two sides to the illegal alien threat to our national security.
Those who want the laws enforced and those who don't.

Ain't no middle-ground,ain't no nuances and everybody and anybody can come up with some hard luck story to avoid justice.

Are we a nation of men or are we a nation of laws?

ENFORCE OR CHANGE THE FRIGGIN’ LAW!!!

Proof that it could be done. Of course, this was back in the 50s, when we still had a real country, as opposed to the pathetic shell of a country we have now, self-crippled by both p.c. idiocy and monumental corruption.
