Gonna say it again . . . Until we do something that will keep American Citizens from hiring the Illegals, they'll keep coming . . Why yes, Virginia, we DO have a law against hiring them, but Parking in a Handicapped zone will bring a bigger fine. The Congress must make the fines for single incidents so expensive that hiring will be totally uneconomical . . Don't matter if the illegal was a Rocket Scientist . . No paper . . it's gonna cost his Employer!
Then make it so a Mexican citizen can get a card or immigration permit without an act of congress per individual.
We need workers, we need immigrants, but they, in turn, need to be legally here. So that they may assimulate if they choose. A fugitive cannot assimulate, they will contnue to commit fraud, and other crimes associated with being part of an underground citizenry and economy.
