"Have these authors done research into illegal immigration?"

===========================================

Much research is being done by many to justify their actions and their inactions.

We've done a little around here on our own . .

FADE TO BROWN

* * *

Until 1965, people admitted to the country legally had no automatic right to bring their families; skilled professionals came before wives and children.

The new law gave the top preference to unmarried adult children of US citizens but the very next preference category was spouses, minor children and unmarried adult children of immigrants.

This was a huge change.

Under the old law, only citizens had the right to sponsor immigrants.

Now, as soon as he got here, any newcomer could send for his family.

This is what produced the chain migration that has emptied entire Mexican villages.

Why are you so worried about third parties, are they a threat to your beloved democratic party? That's where you have to be since on this issue you take the same position as Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Howard Dean, Bill Richardson, the ACLU, La Raza and the rest of the open border blowhards.

If only those troubling conservatives like Tancredo weren't around hey bayourod, think of all that cheap, exploitable labor you could have.

But the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act changed all that. It offered amnesty to some 3m undocumented workers, allowing them to stay in the US permanently.

We can thank Ted Kennedy for the first one, and that sorry POS has proposed another one? Hah! No thank you! We can't afford ANYTHING Kennedy, or McCain have proposed.

There is only one thing that would stop illegal immigration and it would stop it right now. That's to make it a mandatory 10 years in prison with a $100K fine per person, for any employer who knowingly hires an illegal. Most employers just see the chance to make a few extra bucks by hiring an illegal, but at the risk of going to prison, they would fire ALL illegals immediately. If illegals knew they could not get a job, they would stop coming. Hopefully most of them would head back to Mexico.

================================

My approach . .

Simple Illegal Alien Invasion solution 101:

* * *

ENFORCE FEDERAL IMMIGRATION LAW BY REWARDING CITIZENS WHO TURN IN ILLEGAL ALIEN EMPLOYERS WITH MONETARY REWARDS

* * *

THE BIGGER THE VIOLATION - THE BIGGER THE REWARD

* * *

PAY FOR THIS PROGRAM WITH FINES COLLECTED FROM LAW-BREAKING EMPLOYERS

* * * *

IMMEDIATE ASSET FORFEITURE IF YOU EMPLOY ILLEGAL ALIENS
