How you would deal with those crossing the borders by car,bus,plane,train,boat i have no idea.
They are very likely legal......how long they stay can make a difference.

Just be at the border in Detroit in the morning and evening......there is a stream of cars with people legally coming to work.....then going home.

Only 4% of illegals work in agriculture. Hmmmmm Unlimited VISA's are available to farmers seeking to hire legal immigrants for these jobs.
What of the construction industry? How many citizens lost their career to Low balling illegals?
It not a case of won't do these jobs. It is a case of wanting a fair wage to do these jobs. Do you really think that the greedy employers pass on the savings to you or I?
Hard working illegals who don't pay taxes and violate a number of laws. We produce enough criminals on our own. We have no need to import more.
The myth of Jobs Americans won't do has been busted a number of times.
E-Verify. My company did it. 2 or 3 years ago. You needed multiple documents and they had to match up. Birth certificate and Social security card. Passport and SS card or Birth certificate. Yes forgeries can be done. What percentage of the illegals will be able to get it done?

Tell me the difference between the two parties again?
whoop whoop ! Exactly. Punish the corporations, as well. Make it punishable to hire illegal immigrants/aliens.

When you have a have not country next to America i'd say people crossing into the USA to find a better life is an inevitability.
Build all the walls you want its not going to change the illegal immigration stats.

Sure they are legal until they dont return. If i wanted to come to America illegally i certainly wouldnt waste my time sneaking across a desert then dealing with a wall i.d just come through a regular border crossing,once in the USA i'd get the documentation i need and live happily ever after in America.

Agreed, however it has to be proven that they "knowingly" hired illegal aliens. The big shots in corporations don't do the hiring. They have personnel department employees that do. Most large corporations aren't guilty of it anyway. It is usually smaller companies that do and even mom and pop businesses. If e-verify is implemented across the board none of them would be able to get away with it.

Uh; that's NOT our problem. Maybe Mexico needs to totally fail before it wakes up and starts taking care of business. We don't owe that place a thing.
