#1.) Close the borders, NOW! Stop any further illegal immigration. Build the FENCE (already approved and funded). Electrify it if necessary. Post troops every 10 yards 24 - 7 if necessary. Whatever it takes to seal the borders will be worth the price and will cost America less than S. 1348.
#2.) Use/enforce existing immigration laws. Impose sever penalties on anyone who hires illegals, intentionally or unknowingly. If the opportunity for work is denied, many illegals will go back to their home country. Homeland Security Chief Chertoff said yesterday (June 8th) that over 1,000,000 illegals were deported in 2006. At that rate in 10 to 20 years America can be rid of all illegals. It has taken the past 20 years to create this problem and maybe it will take 20 years to fix it and it will be worth it………..
#3.) Pass legislation to reduce legal immigration back to pre-1965 levels.
Immigration, legal and illegal is destroying America just as former Governor Dick Lamm predicted in his October 2003 speech. If you would like to refresh your memory of that speech you can view it at:
#4.) If a guest worker program is needed, we had one back in the 1940’s and 1950’s that worked and provided cheap labor for agriculture. We just can’t give workers citizen status. I would rather pay more for goods and services provided by American workers at higher wages than destroy our American way of life with immigration……………!
I hope you were serious when you said give me your solution to Immigration……………….!
I agreeholeheartedly. The solutions are simple, yet selected politicians et. al like Salazar wish to cultivate the illusion that they are not.
Salazar 1 and done.

I also wrote Washington with my concerns .I wrote T. Kennedy..he E-mailed back..or should I say his office did. Said they wanted
to bring a solution for immigration reform.. for the American citizen. Well, (?) I'm the American Citizen , was a life long Democrate. He's not doing the American citizen a favor. Lets not give up.
larrymc,
Please don't play the political card. this has nothing to do with Democrats or republicans. They are both culpable in this debacle. If you believe this is a one sided political issue, then you are as stupid as your elected officials think you are.

You missed the biggest one of all: really go after the illegal EMPLOYERS. A few years ago, WalMart was fined $11 million for hiring illegals. That year, they made $285 BILLION dollars. To put that fine in perspective, fine speeders one penny per mile over the posted speed limit & see how big a deterrent that is. Unless it becomes cost ineffective to hire illegals, individuals & businesses will continue to do it - removing 'starter jobs' for citizens & legal immigrants & lowering the wage base - and attracting illegals. I suggest a fine structure that starts at 5% of gross income - and at 3rd offense, jail time for the individual or head of the corporation.

I know it is easy to always jump on the democrat it is always their fault for all the things that are bad in this country. But try a letter to George W Bush he is the one pushing hard for this bill.
