I think the issue could be solved by 1) making our borders secure, increasing border patrol and maybe even national guard presence along with better fencing, walls etc.
2) making it more costly to enter the US illegally, after the borders are secure. IE: Illegal immigration becomes a felony with automatic deportation, fines and/or jail time 3) The cost involved in rounding up, prosecuting and housing 11,000,000 potential felons is astronomical, and probably close to impossible. Give them a one-shot chance to make things right, they get their paperwork, green cards etc. Everyone that gets this chance goes into a "watch" database, as potential security risk. If your caught in the US illegally, after that it's up to the courts. Thanks Scott Scott A.

Nor do I neccessarily think we need to. But I do think we should have tools on the books to handle those who are caught. Currently, there is nothing that can be done once they are caught. I'd like to see them punished. It could be a fine, deportation, severe talking to. I don't think a wink and a nod is the right solution. I also don't think just punishing the employees is the right solution, but the employers should suffer as well. Especially those who are helping illegal employees to avoid taxes. I am not looking for INS raids on farm hands. I am more interested in additional tools on the books to handle those illegals who need to be handled.
