#1 The plant has since tightened its security measures even for supervised workers, verifying their Social Security numbers with a credit-checking company before granting access.

*ring ring*

"Hello, Social Security, how can I help you?"

"This is Martin Greene from ABC Painting, and I'd like to know if 580-63-9442 belongs to Juan Mendez?"

"Okay, let's see.....yes it does."

"It does? Okay, thanks. Bye."

Immigration advocates said the arrests highlight the need to overhaul work laws for illegal immigrants.

Uhhh, no. What's needed are the immigrants here to be LEGAL. Period.

"Part of reform needs to recognize that there are people here, living in the U.S., and working and paying taxes, who need to come out of the shadows," said Judy Golub, spokeswoman for the American Immigration Lawyers Association.

Tough shit. If someone commits a bank robbery and lives a clean life afterward, working and paying taxes, does that excuse them?

"Weâre never going to enhance our security until we have immigration reform," Golub said.

When "immigration reform" translates out to strictly enforcing the immigration laws of this country, then her words will be correct.

#3 Well, yes, we must reward people who:

1) Think existing immigration law doesn't apply to them because, well, 100+ years ago where they are now living was part of Mexico (ok, their family obviously didn't live here at the time....it's the principle of the thing....), or Spanish conquistadors went roaming through about 400 years ago in the vicinity.

2) They knowingly present false identification in order to get jobs, and probably drivers' licenses and other official documents.

3) Take jobs that legal immigrants and citizens might be interested in having (last time I checked, being an aircraft mechanic was a pretty good job. It gave my dad a pretty good living).

You betcha, Judy! Let's get right on it!
