I have a few libertarian tendencies, but that is beside the point I was raising. I see lots of folks demanding a crackdown on illegal immigration - but since we've left the sluicegates on our borders full open for so long, exactly how are you gonna tell the illegals from the legals any more without some kind of ID card? Heck, I just saw an article in the Rocky Mountain News about a clerk who was caught selling Drivers Licenses to illegals. The current ID system is a joke, and a booming business exists trafficking fakes. A computerized national ID card is the only way I see to correct the problem, so our decision, IMO, comes down to coping with the illegals in our midst or issuing an ID card to help get rid of them. It's an ugly dilemna.
Most of the illegals can barely speak English. Most of them are also brown and work at car washes and construction sites. They also blow leaves and dig ditches.
Illegals are here only because they can find a job and no one bothers them. As soon as their life becomes more difficult, they'll ask for a free ticket back to their home countries. The troublemakers need to be arrested and deported.
I'm not much of a cop, but can't these "businesses" be raided and closed. I read where the FBI raided three of these businesses and handcuffed the owner and his employees and took them to jail. (or is the case that these businesses are inside homes and such?
