#1 This is good news. US citizens must keep up the pressure on the President and Congress for sealing the border. The Dems and Republicans, with few exceptions, ignore it. We must hold their feet to the fire.

We even get raids from time to time up here in Alaska (even as far north as Barrow) where the INS rounds up illegals. Someone sets up shop, a small business, whatever, and soon all his buddies show up.

#2 Shoot 'em. It's the only thing that will work.

#3 nah, stop em from crossing illegally, make them go through a worker program that works (even, god forbid, apply for citizenship, like everyone else trying to immigrate here does?).

#4 "Shoot 'em. It's the only thing that will work."

I vote for this solution. Also, leave their bodies where they're killed so their bones bleach in the Sun.

#5 The border agents will focus on deporting third-country nationals, rather than Mexicans or Canadians,..

This is bullshit. When an illegal alien is found, regardless of where they are from, deport them, no ifs, ands, or buts, period.

#6 true but the OTM (Other Than Mexicans) should have a layover at Gitmo

#7 Frank, We already have a procedure for legal immigration and becoming a citizen. Millions are
waiting YEARS for their chance to LEGALLY immgrate. These are the 'law abiding' people we WANT to have come.

Unfortunately our politicians have a habit of pissing all over them in order to gain a few more latino votes by encouraging illegal (who are, by definition, not-law-abiding) people to cross over. These are the people we DONT WANT here.

Why do the Mexicans and Canadians get a break? Isn't that 'racial profiling'??

#8 CF - no argument from me. No special "dispensation" should be given to our neighbors north and south. Shut all of them down and force the immigrants/workers/etc. to go through the official channels. I just said it was a good start from the deliberate neglect shown by R and D administrations. Should an attack occur from an illegal cross-border group, expect the demands to be the military on the border, shoot to kill, cheap labor be damned. I prefer that now

#9 All of this leaves out how our border patrols currently have no way of determining whether people they detain are wanted criminals in their country of origin. I'm sick and tired of Mexico exporting their criminal population to America, much like Castro did with the Mariel boatlift.

We need to photograph and fingerprint all illegal aliens so that repeat offenders can be identified. Some of those we scoop up are the coyotes and we need to start making a note of these unscrupulous traffickers. Anyone of Arabic or Moslem origin gets a one-way ticket to Gitmo for some voice training lessons.

#10 This was news to me. Didn't know the death rate was so high, and this is only for Arizona.
"A record 154 immigrants died sneaking into Arizona in the 2003 fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, most of them succumbing to the desert heat. "

And I'm sure that that scumbag Vicente Fox is agonizing over these needless deaths....

#12 Honestly, it would help to severely fine any employer who is hiring these people. If you never sweep the kitchen, don't complain about the roaches.

Once the money flow has been shutoff to illegals -rates of legal immigration can be established to meet employment needs. With respect to refusing employment that involves menial taskings, Americans aren't as bad Saudi's, but we aren't much better.

#13 No special "dispensation" should be given to our neighbors north and south.

I wonder how many illegal workers or aliens you get from the North :) If you do, I think they go south for the warm weather more than anything.
