You mean, use common sense and human nature to get the problem to solve itself? Leverage instead of brute force?
That's kinda judo-like.
In other words, ramrodding the portions of your amnesty down everyone's throats anyway.
Please, tell us, though, how you would prevent every Manny, Moe & Jack--excuse me, Tomas, Julio y Jose from getting on the horn the minute the amnesty comes down from on high (under your plan, of course), and getting all their relatives to run for the borders?
No one - not Bush, not Gephardt, no one has addressed that problem. Everyone says that it wouldn't happen, but let's be realistic here. Most of the illegals that don't have their families with them are busting their collective butts to get them across the border best they can.
And to address a different point, I've got an easy way to round them up: Drive up whatever road they all stand on for cash-only day laborer jobs every day, and pick 'em all up. No, you won't get 'em all, but if you start cracking down, the others'll tell all their friends and relatives to think twice about coming across...
We've got too much unemployment among people who were born here without illegals taking what few jobs there are here.

Good point. There is nothing to stop illegals already here from tipping off relatives to cross the border once the amnesty was passed. Bush has said already that his plan is about "reuniting families". I don't think we're ready for each illegal to bring 20 or so family members to a reunion here.
