and this is kind of off on a tangent, but in the '50's, we had about a million illegals in the country and Dwight Eisenhower decided to deport them all, and this was accomplished with a much smaller number of border patrol agents than we have now in about a year. Most of them self-deported when they found out he wasn't kidding. I meant to look this up and confirm it with another source, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Although I agree that cracking down on employers is a more likely approach.

I AM conflicted on this issue, but I just think you don't reward them in any way or else you are exacerbating the problem.
