So what are you going to do, have the Police visit every vegetable field and construction site in California, ask for ID and deport those who don’t have it? Will you submit to search and producing ID to verify your citizenship?

This is the law - I want them to enforce it. The Gov't is conducting sweeps on airports & finding many illegals. The INS conducts raids as part of their job. If the penalties to employers were severe enough to cause disruption to business then not many sweeps would need to be conducted before businesses would begin to quit hiring illegals.

As far as deporting other illegals, law enforcement agencies currently do NOT hold or turn over to INS the illegals they stop in routine traffic stops or other arrests. If I'm stopped, yes I produce a valid drivers license, not a Mexican ID. When I get a job I produce a valid Social Security number.

The illegals need to be sent back & after meeting a means test, legally apply for entry to OUR country on THEIR side of the border.

I understand and agree that these people are here illegally, it is wrong. On a practical level I just do not see how we can methodically find, identify and deport 10M people. In order to be fair, and fair is a requirement, we must have a process. You have not provided a process therefore I assume you do not have one. As a result, you are just ranting; it feels good, but gets no closer to a solution than where we are now.

I suggest we work to stop more from entering the country through better border management. At the same time we need to integrate the people that are here now into the culture. The risk is that they are not integrated and become disenfranchised and hence are multi-generational welfare recipients. Morris’s idea is a decent step in the right direction.
