This is not over yet. Bush refuses to give up this easily. It's his stubborn character. He will try to resurrect it and call it something else. We have to keep our guard up. We need to keep the pressure up.
STAGE TWO is to go after the people who hire illegals. Start giving them fines and arresting them. Just catch ten or 100 of them on the nightly news. The magnet will dry up and most of the 12 million will go home by themselves.
As an addendum, we should anonymously call the IRS, people working "off the books" means taxes ain't being paid. Make anonymous fliers and hang them around the neighborhood, name names. It's time to embarrass these bustards, whether they give to the GOP or Rats, we don't need them.
CALL! CALL! CALL! CALL! AND KEEP CALLING TILL THE LINES FRY!
WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! TILL YOU RUN OUT OF INK IN YOUR PEN!
Bombard the Democrats as well, especially the ones that ran on an anti illegal immigration plank and the ones in marginal districts who could be vulnerable. keep pounding on them. This is a bipartisan issue not a Conservative or Liberal issue BUT AN AMERICAN issue.
STOP AMNESTY NOW!! WE CAN DO IT!!

A strong majority of Americans including nearly two-thirds of Republicans favors allowing illegal immigrants to become citizens if they pay fines, learn English and meet other requirements, a new Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll has found.That is just the "BAIT"..., the "SWITCH" takes place later..., when judges rule that the "STRINGS" are unfare and inhumane! Sorry..., but I have seen this play before!

Actually, most of them are paying FICA, and they’re covered by Worker’s Comp.
They are on the W-2 payroll at most companies. They’re just using someone else’s Social.

Was that the pole that asked,”Would you rather have illegal immigrants be given amnesty, or have Hillary as President?”

Well put. I have never never spoken to anyone who says illegal immigrants should be made citizens. Never. Not one time. Not once.

Thats why they have zero desire to learn English or assimilate; its also why they wont want to pay fines and jump through all the hoops of the bill. As long as theres no real border security and no real employer enforcement, there is no incentive for illegals to change their standard operating procedure. I agree 100%. Mo matter what legislation is passed, if it inconveniences the interlopers even in the slightest bit, they will have nothing to do with it. It will be business as usual. We need to build the wall, start enforcing meaningful fines against employers of illegal aliens. If a serious effort was put forth a vast majority of them will deport themselves within a few years.
To: One_American
Exactly. We may want to make a public demonstration of deome deportations—a token gesture to show we mean business. But that would only be effective AFTER the fence is built and the border secure. Otherwise, these guys will be right back.
But once the employers know that we are serious and they will suffer severe penalties for keeping illegals on the payroll, we won’t need to spend the billions to deport the illegals. They’re going to leave on their own, if they know that the rules have changed.

To: BurbankKarl
If they are here illegally, leave. GTF out.
Come back through the proper channels, learn English, become an American.
Felons need not apply.
If we need to increase the quota, we can, but none of this pap means diddley-squat if we don't secure the borders.
Failure to do so will be the end of this country.

(It's the borders, stupid.)
To: BurbankKarl
This is a push poll, pure and simple.
Re-word the questions and you will get a strong majority who would be in favor of creating situations to encourage illegals to self-deport. In polls such as this one, there usually is a false dichotomy presented between amnesty and mass deportation, when a clear middle path is available.
