Some people from other countries want to come to the United States to kill us. Some want to freeload off us or sell us illegal things. Most just want to work here. So what should be done about all that?

Continue building the fence. Reduce the easy points of entry. Force them to use areas we can control.
Those who are here already. Sieze there assets and deport them. Make it to costly or at least not worth the risk/ effort.
Employers. Fine and jail employers of illegals including the home owners who hire them. Make it to costly to get caught.

The wall that we currently have is useless. We need a concrete barrier across the entire Southern border that is 12ft high and 10ft deep with motion sensors embedded every 2 feet both above and below ground. This wall will be a huge boost to the economy. President Obama needs to fund this with the stimulus money.

That would be an effective wall but what a price tag.
Continue to build the wall/fence. Hammer the employers, landlords and anyone caught sheltering illegals including churches. Churches enjoy a tax free staus due to seperation of church and state. Good stay out of politics and stop interfering with law enforcement.
When catch the illegals seize any and all assets. No rewards, no gains. Whats the point for all the effort?
Will it be 100% effective? NO. But it will put a huge dent in the problem.

If you haven't noticed, unemployment is way up and rising. We don't need millions of illegals coming to work for dirt and be subsidized by the taxpayers.

That whole unlimited cheap labor thing isn't working.

The only fence you need is the stroke of the pen. Cut off all means of aid, medical care, anchor babies, social services, and bilingual anything. If you make this country less appealing to illegals, they won't want to be here so badly. Also need to come down heavy on employers who hire illegals.
