Well, then, therein is the problem. We have laws on the books now which are unenforceable. And you guys want even stronger laws, which will also be unenforceable?

[Little Ray]

Get real. The laws are enforceable. What is lacking is the will.

How can you say the laws are unenforcible? There has been no attempt at enforcement for a generation.

Police can't inquire about immigration status even when they arrest a felon who can't speak a word of English. Repeat felons can't be deported even when it is known they are illegals. Employers hire illegals with impunity.

I can't register my kids in a public school without presenting their social security card. Giving the SS number, as reported on my income tax form for the last 6 years, is not acceptable. And yet when we asked the school officials how all the children of illegals (estimated at 15% of the children in my daughter's school) were allowed to enroll without SS cards, we were told that "the government takes care of that". .

And you say the laws are not enforcible. GMAFB! The laws are not enforced because our elected officials have made the decision not to enforce them - not because the are unenforcible.

They're not unenforceable. They're just not being enforced. You can't claim they're unenforceable when we've never even tried to enforce them.

No, we have laws on the books that are not being enforced.
