what's brilliant?

When a nation loses its borders, it ceases to exist.

Don't you think that this is maybe...overstating the situation? It would be one thing if we had North Korea for a neighbor, but all we've got is Canada and Mexico. No one is worried about the dirty Canuks taking us over, and if you look at the relative population levels, there really aren't enough Mexicans to ever overwhelm the US. Proportionately, we had more Irish sneaking in than Mexicans back during the tater famine.

Yes, something does need to be done about illegal immigration. This plan seems to provide a carrot and a stick to prod these people into a tracking system of sorts. We can't expect an "Iron Curtain" along the huge US/Mexico border, that is far too costly in both money, manpower, and political capital. However, this plan, a velvet rope backed by a burly usher, is better than nothing.

I am so sure these illegals will come forward and say they are working under the table. Their employers will also notify the IRS. ;)

As one disguised illegal immigrant interviewed said..she has been working in the U.S. for 15 years and she is afraid to come forward.

If welfare was reformed, we would not have this problem..jobs would HAVE to be taken by U.S. recipients. You need assistance..you WILL work at any job we find for you in your locale.

It's all about votes!
