People may call present enforcement efforts against illegal immigration 'hit or miss': that said; once enough 'projectiles' (laws and ever sterner application thereof) are fired--------there will be a mass exodus out of the USA.

Great point, ArizonaBear . . .

Any GET SERIOUS approach sending the proper message will reduce and/or eliminate this ridiculous and obnoxious invasion of arrogant common criminals.

I employee several of those "common criminals" doing house and yard work. I find them delightful and warm individuals, whom I hope to see someday as full American citizens.

If you are making an honest attempt to sponsor your workers; that is one thing.

Now; if you are profiting off the fact that said workers are here illegally-------------you are nothing more than a common criminal------at best.

At least the razor wire will mean that they'll arrive freshly shaved. If there's one thing I don't like it's scruffy illegal immigrants.

They should be shoring up the border fence like the USA is a Federal Penitentiary.

I'm probably guilty of some offense, but I pay the going rate they ask for and I got the woman who cleans for me to file income taxes. I found out the IRS could care less about what ICE wants. File your taxes and they will keep mum.

Well you are part of the problem... Let me guess no legals in your area own landscapeing businesses? You are helping to drive legals out of business therfore you are hurting your fellow citizens. Glad that you are okay with such behavior. I myself? No, I want no part of hurting my fellow americans.

I figure a hardworking person is worthy of my support. I'm reminded of the inscription on the Statue of Liberty --
"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
