Ive been saying that you dont have to round up the Illegals, just turn the faucet off and they will leave. Its working quite well for Oklahoma.

Uh oh,
Here's ANOTHER time that I'm agreeing with you "12" !
I don't condone Illegals sneaking into the USA,....seriously I do NOT.
And since we know where the democrats stand on the Issue(meaning a fence), for this opinion, they are a non-entity.
Reagan gave Illegals, amnesty, so for this discussion, he becomes a non-entity.
But what about(almost) "12" years of the "BUSH's"(with regard to a fence)
Jesus, you and I "12" could have built "the Fence" BY OURSELVES, if we had the materials....in 12 FRIGGIN' years !!!
But though you and I, and many others, KNOW the real reason why NO fence in 12 years, lets tell those who DON'T KNOW why !
Answer...."MONEY" !!
Money funneled to the Bush's, via Lobbyists working for these huge agri-business's, via OBSCENE $$$ contributions to the Bush's.
But here's the "kicker". The GOP SCREAMS ..."STOP ILLEGAL Immigration", knowing full well that their LEADER, has NO SUCH inclination to do so !!
IF I was a GOP Senator, and I had a group of fellow senators who made Immigration our TOP priority, I'd march into the WH, and THREATEN BUSH, that our group would be joining the DEMS, on up coming votes that were "to close to call"(on several other Issues), if he DID'NT ACT Immediately on the Immigration Issue, and cover my A$$ at home, by telling my constituants WHY I was going to Drastic measures !!
The Dems, and quite a few Reps. just gutted the "Fence Bill" last week, so it won't be built. Corporations have a strangle hold on our nation! As soon as these flunkies get to Wash they are bought.
On the bright side is electing a person who will END this invasion/ and Number 1 drug corridor in to America. RON PAUL! Who also insists on ending auto birth right if neither parent is American.
Now if California will only take a good look at Arizona and OK laws and save the Golden State. I esp. love the part that puts employers in jail. I think many Americans will make it their mission to turn employers INCLUDING the neighbors who hire the illegal gardner/maid/handyman (the ones whose children you and I have to support on welfare and in our over crowded schools.)

The only point I'd like to make NxNW, about your true post, is that we KNOW the DEMS, are not for a FENCE.
It's the PHONEY GOP who's yelling about..Fence..Fence..Fence, but half of them KNOW their words are only for SHOW. :down: :down: :down:
Yea the only distinction I see is those groups that are naieve, the ones gullible enough to swallow. It seems to me that both sides have spun a web of deciet and have caught their prey.
Is it any wonder we are sinking?
Like I said...don't people think it strange...Mexico, #1 entry for ALL drugs into the USA. Mexico, #1 entry for blood sucking illegal aliens/Third World poverty/ Criminal Murdering Gangs/ Disease into the USA, yet for some reason we have politicians who are more concerned with Iraq's borders than the USA's.
I wonder if it was Haiti and 30 million Black Haitians were pouring into the USA how fast the border would be sealed?

Local,
I also like this strategy: A significant disincentive to employers, composed of fines, potential prison terms for repeat employer offenders, etc.
However, without any other economic or political mechanisms, such a strategy may cause a blow to isolationists. Without those political/economic protections, many companies (mostly those that hired illegal immigrants) will be more motivated to ship jobs overseas to keep their cost structure at a similar level to that of the pre-illegal-immigrant-employer-crackdown.
In other words, this strategy may be trading one poison for another poison.
That is not much of a concern to me as I do not mind the shipping off of non-skilled worker jobs, which just so happens to be the typical type of job that many illegal immigrants are currently working. But as I understand, a scenario such as that may be disturbing to you. So, I think it may be a bit more complicated than simply turning the faucet off to satisfy those who hold similar views as yourself; other much more complicated controls would need to be developed.
