Think of it, so far nobody's even discussed the many thousands of new Government Employees who will cost many Billions, to sign-up, process, clear and "welcome" (with the customary efficiency shown by the DMV or so many postal workers) -- the buildings they'd "work" from, the new computers they'd require (flat screens too, of course) acquired with the usual bureaucratic disregard for purchasing prowess -- hundreds of thousands signing up with the government employees' union(s)...

Then, if Anchor Babies/Families aren't eliminated, along with Entitlements for those millions already here who'd need the background investigation, all that paperwork, those "secure" IDs (Ha -- give the crooks a week and they'll make 'em very insecure), more paperwork, new tax forms...

No one ('cept me, apparently) has even noticed the bureaucratic costs associated with such futility -- the further fleecing of we taxpayers, as Senators Graham, Kyl, McCain, Specter, and their so-called "leader" rub shoulders with Teddy Kennedy, Leahy, Reid, Durban, et al.

My God, can you count that high?

LEAVE EMPLOYERS BE
Re: Jackie Mason & Raoul Felder's Immigration: A Simple Solution:

I know its been around for a while, but where did we get the idea that it is the employer's responsibility to enforce immigration laws. We already collect taxes for the government. How about we have the government do its job and enforce the borders and let employers do their job and keep America productive. Frankly I'm surprised that a conservative publication is so ready to punish business. Have the unions gotten through to you? Perhaps it would be better if illegals came here and didn't get a job.
