'Guest' worker wilderness..."

A recent( post )by By Victor Davis Hanson, August 13, Washington Times, makes a clear solution to the problem of illegal immigration.

"... We are back to the one solution of measured and legal immigration that we all know will work but apparently dread: Control our borders and enforce existing laws. Fine employers who hire illegal immigrants. Provide a mechanism of foolproof identification. Return to policies of English-language immersion and cultural assimilation. Pay more now in higher labor costs -- but save far more later by avoiding entitlement, law-enforcement and social chaos."

This has made sense to me for a long time. I can not find within myself the pardon for, let alone approval of those who broke our laws above those who abide by our laws. Law breakers are not to be rewarded while legal immigrants are held back.

There is legislation in the works that would have fines of $2,000; but that would be too little for those who have, and too much for those who have not. Illegal is illegal. American must become an undesirable place to live if you are a lawbreaker. This goes for employer and employee who continue to snub our immigration laws.
