DD, not if we keep up the heat. This is not a fly-by-night issue. Honestly, how long have you been informed and angry about illegal immigration? I have been pissed for years.

The chief complaint I hear now is but there is nothing I can do.

Yes there is. Send a quick email to your house representative and both Senators, as well as Frist and Boehner. Then, and equally as important, tell everyone you know who cares to do the same thing. Make sure that they also tell everyone they know, and so on.

If all of us who actually careed stopped whining and started doing something, the politicians would hear the low roar.

I already wrote my congresswoman, Bill Frist, and John Boehner and let them know that if they vote for temporary worker status that does not force illegals to return home first, then I will ditch the GOP and stay out of policy until someone sounds the trumpets that I want to hear.

There is one answer to this problem: (1) Punish employers so heavily that they will be truly scared to employ illegals. Concentrate on internal enforcement. This takes care of the demand for labor. (2) Conduct actual regulation of the border. Build a wall (physical or tech-based) and stop the inflow. This stops the anchor baby droppers. (3) Open opportunities for legal immigration. This way we get the labor we need from people who want to be Americans.
