Illegal Immigration

The solution to the illegal immigration problem is really very simple. Severely punish with stiff fines and mandatory jail time anyone who hires an illegal. Even with rampant identity theft and fraud, it should dry the employment pool to the point that most illegals will get the point and head home. Most illegals are here for the economic opportunity afforded by the U.S. I certainly respect that, but I also respect the rule of law.

Shoddy to a lack of enforcement is certainly no excuse for the Senate to take the easy road and pave the way for illegals to gain a legal status. That is what appears to be happening right now in the halls of Congress. The Federal government has swallowed the lie that only the illegals will do certain jobs, and if they are deported in mass, our economy will suffer greatly. Our decades long low birth rate created an economic excuse for illegal immigration. We simply didn't allow enough legal immigration to keep up with the demands of our economy.

We didn't get to this point overnight. We got here over years and I expect the solution will take years to implement. Is the solution to make people here illegally suddenly legal? When will the slumbering giant of the masses of U.S. citizens awaken from their sleep? Contact your Senators and express your opinion.

It is only a hypocrite who thinks that we have strengthen our homeland security without securing our own borders! What a joke! There is no doubt that U.S. employers have taken advantage of these illegals. They are pocketing tremendous profits on the backs of these workers. It is a form of indentured servantude. They don't pay them benefits, they pay them below market wages, no workers compensation, and pocket the difference themselves.
