Somewhere out there is a whistle-blower who could put Harry away for the rest of his natural days.

Reid is nothing more than King Obama’s court jester.

The way to fix the broken immigration laws is to deport the people who break the immigration laws. The laws are not the problem. Lack of enforcement is the problem.

Harry’s idea of fixing the system is to take the
door off the hinges and throw away the key.

Whenever Liberals (in both parties) talk about “fixing immigration system”....it is code for “Amnesty”

System ain’t broke....just enforce the laws

What’s to fix? Just enforce the existing laws

To: All

1. Build the fence, patrol the fence, survey the fence
2. E-Verify
3. SSN checks to root out ID theft by illegals
4. Random sweeps
5. Inspect employers for illegals and punish violators
6. Work with the states instead of suing them (unified front)
7. Apply pressure to sanctuary cities/states
8. Voter ID laws
9. Investigate welfare cheating by illegals
10. Enforce the laws already on the books
11. Jail time!!!!

In effect, you “sour the milk” and make illegals self deport. It’s worked, even when a modicum of enforcement is applied (see Alabama). Sometimes the mere hint of “will this be the day I get caught/discovered” is enough.

If you have a harder time finding work, can’t get the cover as you did in the past, feel you have to look over your shoulder, it’s a deterrent. Psychological is just as important as physical.

Once you secure the system, THEN and only THEN do you start the debate on immigration (how many, who, skill sets and what restrictions). If the legal process needs more money/materials then so be it.

Like where your going with E-Verify and random sweeps. I say large fine first time you are found hiring a illegal. Jail time and fine second offense. Prison third offense. Doing this you won’t have to deport anyone. They will self-deport.

JUST IMAGINE HOW BAD THINGS WILL BE IF WE HAVE A SECOND LIBERAL MORMON IN CHARGE OF A SECOND THIRD OF THE US GOVERNMENT.

LDS Cult headquartes in Salt Lake City ordered "mercy" for (tithe paying) illegals some time back, Ried is doing exaclt what he's been told by his true masters, just like Romney will.

The immigration system is not broken! ENFORCEMENT of the immigration system is broken. Just enforce existing laws - FIXED!

Your post 13 is precisely the answer.

It isn’t a complicated problem. Secure the border. Enforce the law. Let the chips fall.

Fail to secure the border, and nothing will work. Secure the border, enforce existing law, and over time the problem resolves itself. As you say, and as we have already seen, people “deport” themselves. They see they have no future here and they go home.

Another thing; before, people would get deported and would be back within a couple of days. Thats not so easy anymore. They get deported now, coming back is harder all the time. As it should be. Complete the fence, as they ought to have done 5 years ago, and return trips will drop to nearly nothing.

I thought the Republicans fixed it in 1986? And then the Democrats just did what they wanted to after that anyhow.

Reid is right on this one. Republicans don’t have an interest in fixing it. Conservatives do.
