This is the right way to enforce immigration laws.

Less focus on the illegals, deportations and creating hatred.

More focus on those who profit off of them.

Absolutely, Mach

Eliminate ALL incentives beginning with the greedy employers and many illegals, if not most, will move on.

Before the illegals it was the less educated people who held those jobs. Now a days America is becoming more and more educated, who in the right mind would pick crops when they have a BS in Computer Science?!

A) You are assuming everyone will go to college which assumes everyone will graduate from High School

Both assumptions are clearly wrong

B) There will ALWAYS be those to do the jobs that need to be done and those people can, and will be, legally entitled to work in this country.

Thats not the question. The question is, "Will they do them?".

It's hard to say, but an increase in wages for these jobs would be in order. Young people these days certainly have more of a sense of entitlement than in years past, and this (IMO) is part of the problem.

Hey, is that two Kentucky judges kicking butt? I'm really impressed. Kentucky may be on my list of possible retirement destinations at this rate!
