If the House of Representatives is determined to undermine the Senate's work on immigration reform, it might as well do the job right.

Although the Senate last year approved comprehensive immigration legislation by a margin of more than 2 to 1, Speaker John Boehner has been unable to convince House Republicans that a path to citizenship -- or even legal status -- for undocumented immigrants is essential to resolving the issue.

But there is something the House can do. It can begin to lay a basis for the kind of legislative deal that could pass in a year, maybe two, when Republicans face up to the fact that their future depends on it. Such a deal would achieve what many of the House's most vocal opponents of reform have long demanded: a crackdown on illegal immigration.

The catch is that this crackdown will have little to do with the U.S.-Mexico border. The Senate bill already includes a staggering $46 billion for border control, doubling the size of the patrol force (which is already double its 2004 size). The House Homeland Security Committee has put forward its own, far cheaper immigration security bill, but it still suffers from Washington's obsession with the border. Politicians from varied and distant locales relish demanding militarization down yonder while continuing to ignore the reality of illegal immigration in their own backyards.

What reality? As many as 8 million undocumented immigrants hold jobs in the U.S. In fact, they account for more than 5 percent of the U.S. labor force. Their unemployment rate might even be lower than that of the nation's black citizens.

Here's how you stop illegal immigration.
1. Put U.S. Army troops on the border with shoot to kill orders. Sending some would be illegal aliens back home in body bags will send a strong message to possible future attempts

2. If you make it inside and are caught, one speedy hearing to determine if you have the proper paperwork. No paperwork out, back home ya go.

But the border isn't the only way to get in.

Many illegals have legal relatives who they started out as visitors but are now staying with.

And then citizenship marriages are another way to get and to stay in.

Professional marriage syndicates know how to play the system.

Marriage is the law, not much you can do about that. If you increase the enforcement and fines for businesses that hire illegal aliens, those staying with legal relatives will be without jobs and eventually go home on their own. The problem is our government(both democrats and republicans) like having them here despite the lip service they give

Yes, that's true.

And that's because America has lots of jobs that Americans don't want. And somebody has to do it. And the illegals do them because it's better than where they came from.

my plan would work better. There would be a machine gun trained on that hole in the fence. The people waiting to get through the fence would turn around when they see all the dead bodies laying at the hole. Dead people can't apply for free stuff

In an ideal setting, your suggestion would work.

The problem is that the government does not have the resources to enforce the laws that are on the books.

Shooting would be harsh though I'm guessing you're just engaged in hyperbole Kenny.

Since we're into nation building around the globe, why haven't we been doing that with Mexico? That would remove the incentive for Mexicans to come here if there quality of life is good. I don't see a mad rush of Canadians to come here.

Very good point about the Mexican government. Also the issue is that Mexicans who are in the U.S. both legally and illegally have a tendancy to send a lot of their money back into Mexico to support their families. So the Mexican government gets away scott free even in the eyes of the people wanting to leave Mexico.
