While I am avid in my opposition to illegal immigration, and do want a greater degree of border security, and emphatically agree that penalties need to be ramped way up for those industries/companies who employ illegals and encourage illegal workers,

it IS also true that our current immigration numbers/procedures and especially our guest worker programs are in DRAMATIC need of reworking.
