How about this. 1. Pass a law that makes it a crime to be here illegally. Right now it's illegal to sneak in, but not to be here. Fix that. Violators to be arrested and incarcerated for a specified period of time before being deported.

2. Next, pass a law making it against the law, with a huge fine, to employ an illegal immigrant. Enforce this rigorously. To lighten the burden on the businesses who would be affected by this. Make an exception to the law providing that the state can legally contract to hire out these detainees to the landscaping, roofing, farming etc. companies that need their services, that would otherwise be employing them illegally.
The main difference is that they still get to work in the US, which is what they wanted, except the money they make picking crops, etc. doesn't go for beer, cigarettes, and back to the family in Mexico.
Instead, the state uses any income they generate to provide for their support during their detention period and for the cost of deporting them.

In other word, de-incentivize them.

I dont think Mapp is running 3rd or 4th in the race. The worst thing that could happen is what happened to Don Young. He decided to suppport amnesty to show he wasn’t racist. Begich and Murkowski aren’t exactly in positions of strength.

Alaska Delegation United for Immigration Reform

Leading with an allusion to Elizabeth Wanamaker Peratrovich’s successful fight for equality during the 1940s, and pointing out that Alaska’s civil rights movement preceded the national cause by roughly a generation, Senators Lisa Murkowski and Mark Begich and Representative Don Young wrote that the 49th state may be considered the “reddest” of states by national political observers, but the reality on the ground shows it to be “a state that is highly diverse in population, culture and tradition.”

The real problem is our open, southern border. Today’s illegal border crossers are not your father’s “wetbacks”. It well known that today, mixed in with the mexicans, the ones coming across the border are al-qaeda terrorists, and other foreign agents bent on doing us harm.

I support his right to say how he feels about this particular subject.

Well, of course! No-brainer there, sir.

The question is can he win an election. I'd have to say, that, in 2014 -- even in Texas -- he cannot. This is politics; not philosophy.

Too many conservatives are unable to distinguish between the two.

He shoudln’t have used the term ...

Bullcrap. I'm sick of people falling all over themselves to apologize (or to condemn an ally) every time some bedwetting liberal pansy gets its panties in a wad over some politically incorrect language. To Hell with them.

Never apologize, never explain, never attack an ally.

Maybe, just maybe, there are those of us who are tired of the mealy-mouthed whom would rather ‘reach across the aisle’ or take 5min to answer a simple yes/no question than speak the simple truth.

He’s unfiltered and speaking from the heart. We ALL should be standing up for his Right to do so as well as defend the message instead of worrying about ‘the Party’ or the ‘how the media will portray’ (as if the latter would do anything for the benefit of the Constitutions).

We’ve got enough wadded panties in the capitals and D.C., time to pull out the wedgie and the big guns for once.

>> Chris Mapp, 53, told this editorial board that ranchers should be allowed to shoot on sight anyone illegally crossing the border on to their land,

So what?
