It isn’t impossible to stop illegal immigration

How about stopping "anchor babies". Once they realize that their children will no longer be automatic US citizens they may think twice before coming here.

Hell, how about no more failure to launch babies?

You know, Im pretty much tired of arguing with the libs on this one.
so let them stay.

only requirement is that it WILL be illegal to hire them. Employers that do so should spend serious jail time.
the Federal or State government WILL NOT extend any social service to them. not food, not medical nothing.

There can however be organizations set up that can legally collect donations from anyone that wishes to help, these donations are to be used for medical payments, housing food, etc... when there is no money in their accounts, the payments will have to stop until such a time that additional funds can be secured through donations.

I suspect that every liberal crying for the rights of the illegals will gladly dip into their pockets and make sure the money is there.
those uncaring SOBs like me? we dont have to pay anything at all for the upkeep.

Place some land mines at the border. Make it REALLY, REALLY hard for them to get it. After seeing a buddy get blown in 47 different directions, the rest of them may have a change of heart.

If the odds of making it past the border alive is 50/50, I bet you see a drop off in illegal border crossings real quick.

Stop the welfare & unemployment payments of the healthy people and watch how fast they apply for those jobs. Especially in this economy.

#one answer!!!
Every illegal is a potential voter and the Dems know it!

The only difference between land mines and armed guards is the land mines don't have their hands tied by rules of engagement.
The cost will come from them, in oil. One barrel for the life of one illegal, to be exchanged at the USA Mexico border...

How many of us, knowingly or not, contribute to the problem...when it fits our needs financial needs? Who here has hired a contractor to do work at your home; lets say to pave a driveway, repair a roof, build a deck, so some landscaping, etc.? When you hired that contractor, did you ask about his workers and if they were all documented, legal workers?
When we had our driveway paved I did not hire my first choice because he would not guarantee me that all of the workers who would show up would be "legal". The company I went with told me that they were. Granted, I took his word for it and did not make him prove as much.

We don't need the Government to stop illegals from coming to this country, the American people can do it by not hiring illegals! We have a supply of jobs that Americans are not willing to do, illegals are filling that demand!

The government and states only need target our own citizens who are enabling the situation!
