#1 2100 down, 12,000,000 to go.
The federal gov would get a lot more "bang for their buck", if they would go after those who employee illegals.

#5 Are they taking beats in Vegas when they'll be returned to the streets?

#6 It looks like they went after targets that are unlikely to be back on the street. The idea is to get the truly bad men behind bars and scare the average Juan to go home till after the election. I'll bet they have film of DaSilva doing the perp walk for the nightly news.

#8 thank you TomFeral, I agree:

Fine the hell out of employers, only then will they they think twice before hiring illegals with or without any ole funky ID.

If you care about our Citizen voting rights, health care, health care insurance payments, Social Security, Pensions, Taxes, and every other hidden yet burgeoning costs attritibutable to the millions of illegal immigrants here in America, then reject those hucksters who sell illegals as 'cheap labor'.. Somthin for Nothin IOW.

and It would help if everyone reminded our pols with these this year.

I printed a bunch then stuffed them back into their respective return envelopes and then mailed them back to..

President Bush's White House Invitation Dinner Invite [I receive them because I contribute, so does everyone else]

Speaker Dennis Hastert [same]

Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist [same]

RNC [same]

and Arnold [same]

and I included a short note of course...

We want the illegals out, we don't want to create a massive new group of criminals. Besides, with 4.6% unemployment, many employers have to take what they can get. And finally, if the law were to make employers fully responsible, that would create 12 million jobless, starving people wandering through your neighborhood, overnight.
Rounding up the criminals, and building the fence, are a good start. Now, we need to seal the border, and be fair to productive workers. God knows we've been 'fair' to non-productive workers long enough.

#10 Here is a recent poll done by a group called "The Polling Station".
Do you believe that ILLEGAL immigration is a threat to US nationalism?
N = 13,550 Margin of Error +/- .5%
....... Yes ...... No .... Undecided
Dem ..... 51.1% .... 39.1% ... 9.8%
Ind .... 70.2% .... 23.8% ... 6.0%
Rep .... 90.9% .... 6.0% ... 3.1%
What world does the Senate live in? Who are they afraid of?

#12 Fine, the employers want them then stick the employers with the same requirements they've established for people seeking to marry foreigners, like the obligation for their welfare if for any reason they break up before 5 years. You think the employers will step forward to take that liability? Ha.
