Is that a fact? There is a self styled INS expert on this site that says the borders are wide open. There are legions that are crying for military involvement. You have a valid point about employer sanctions and there are a rash of illegals being fired because of bogus social security numbers. However, the border state local law enforcement agencies have ALL denied the feds request to hold a illegal aliens for deportation. I am telling you this right now, for illegal immigration to stop to any significant degree it WILL take a military option. Not only at the borders but also in rounding up the ones that are already here right now. To believe any thing else is ridiculous.
I agree that the military is needed at the borders at least at this point in time. We also need to increase the border patrol and take internal action. If the state didnt simply give handouts to illegals I doubt we'd have to do alot of rounding up.
