The key is jobs..... control the employment process and you can control much of the immigration levels...>>>>>

Didn't GWB just announce that the NEW, nation-wide 'verification hot line' was a tool employers could use VOLUNTARILY to verify their new employees ??

If your *serious* about 'legal' employment this check should be MANDATORY.

The fact of the matter is that we and the ones who care are discussing this on threads like this and expressing our viewpoints and getting them known to our reps and senators and trying to address issues that are problems. And we have a president that is also trying to "Propose" ideas to address this problem. Compare it to the opposition who are just beating to the tune of a different drum that squarely puts them in the very very minority of this country.
We can disagree on the nuances of the policy but at least GWB is addressing the problem. Give it to the DIMs and they advocate total amnesty with ability to get welfare, citiezenship rights and fast track to citizenship... The difference is clear as night and day.

It's not something that simple imo. How do you know that the one showing up at you front door is the one whose name appears on the 'hot line list'? False documentation/IDs/Social Security cards/etc. have been a major problem in this area forever it seems.

I dont' know how it will be handled but verification and registration would go way down the road to solving a lot of the problems, imo. Biometric identification?
