Let's see some Dateline stings like they did with the pedophiles!

That would be cool.

Though I'm not sure the Dateline stings did anything to lower the number of pedophiles on the Internet. I doubt it would help with companies that hire illegals.

Not sure what we need to do to find these companies... maybe undercover folks out at Home Depot or whatever?

Do you buy BIC pens, or Dell computers?

Do you shop at Big Lots, BJ’s, Family Dollar, Home Depot, K-Mart, Office Depot, Pep Boys, Sears, Target, or Walmart?

Do you eat Tyson Foods or Perdue chicken? What about Butter Ball turkeys, Green Giant vegetables, or Sara Lee desserts?

Ever stay at a Best Western, Holiday Inn, Marriot, or Radisson hotel?

Have you ever rented a car from Avis?

Do you ever eat at Burger King, Cracker Barrel, Dunkin’ Donuts, Golden Corral, Hooters, Jack-in-the-Box, KFC, McDonald’s, Olive Garden, Subway, Taco Bell, TGI Fridays, Applebees, Waffle House, or Wendy’s?

That’s just the tip of the iceberg my friend.

theres one way to stop it, build that 3 tiered fenceand man it, then go after the people that hire these undocumented people , put these company heads in jail and find them millions of dollars, then they will all go home , we wont have to spend a dime sending them home , theres no other way to do it , as long as theres jobs for them or people to hire them they will be here, one more thing , get rid of bush i think hes sleeping with them.

If we took away their jobs I don't think they would all be running back across the border. Its a lot easier to get a handout or free meal here than in Mexico. Take away your jobs and the only thing you get is Unemployed illegals. I think I'd rather have them gamefully employed than sitting around wondering how they are going to get some money

Interesting point. The studies that show that attrition by enfrcement works are looking at situations where there are other parts of the U.S. where they can move to and still find jobs. If we tried the same strategy nationwide, there'd be no place for them to go, and they'd probably just stay put.

I believe that most Mexican people are too proud to beg and too honest to be criminals.

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell said Thursday that extending walls along the U.S.-Mexico border will not solve the problem of illegal immigration.

"The Berlin Wall did not work perfectly and the wall that the Israelis are putting up is not going to work perfectly," Powell said. "So, a wall alone is not the answer."

An immigration measure approved by the U.S. Senate offers illegal immigrants a chance at citizenship while extending fences along the border. The House passed a measure making all illegal immigrants subject to felony charges. Negotiations to reconcile the proposals have yet to begin.

Powell, speaking at a business conference in Mexico City, said any new barriers should include gates and other entrances to provide easy- access between both countries.

He said U.S. authorities should let many of the estimated 12 million undocumented migrants already in America earn some form of legal status through expanded temporary-worker programs.

"We have to find a way for them to live in dignity and not in fear," he said.

Can you provide a link to documentation to support that claim?

You took my word for the former. Why not now?

Many of these places flat out admit it when questioned and the rest of them refuse to go on record publicly one way or the other on the issue.

The only one that I know of that law enforcement (ICE) did anything about was Tyson Foods. I honestly believe that the only reason they intervened in that case was because TF was transporting them into the country and that was interfering with a very lucrative business venture run by people with friends in high places.

Believe it or not, makes no difference to me.

The soldiers aren't allowed to detain migrants and have been limited to projects like extending border fences and repairing roads, but the military's presence are keeping would-be crossers away from the area, migrant rights activists said.

"Some migrants have told me they heard about the troops on television and, because the U.S. Army doesn't have a very good reputation, they prefer not to cross," Loureiro said, referring to reports of abuse in Iraq. Others have been discouraged by smugglers' fees that have nearly doubled to more than $3,000.

And don't forget, we got to enjoy it while it was happening too. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
