"Instead of trying to arrest and deport millions of people, we could just throw a few hundred white collar, illegal alien hiring employers in jail, watch the jobs dry up, and then watch the illegals go home."

I agree, if our leaders/owners ever decide to enforce the *no job without citizenship* laws, we'll need to get out of the way of the masses heading south to the border.

...and pay for many of us will double or triple within hours.

Sounds like theyll be perfect citizens and natural Republican voters! sarc

How about with ideas, technology, and freedom? I know these are radical concepts but they just might work here, now only if we could get the US goevernment on board with this idea.

I agree. Except, I know refer to them as Marxicans from Marxico.

The problem is a welfare system that lends itself to abuse by citizens and non-citizens alike.

Actually, the greater problem is having laws which aren't enforced.

"A whole industry has developed for the purpose of providing illegals with phony documents."

And none so bad as the area surrounding the Immigration and Naturalization office in Fresno, CA.

Another bad aspect of all these green cards Washington is so willing to give away means anyone of those illegals that gets their hands on one can vote in local and State elections legally. They are restricted from voting in a Presidential election but I'm sure that doesn't stop them. Dogs and dead people do so why not illegals w/green cards.

I never had a green card, mine was always blue, that's something I never figured out.
