Illegal Aliens

The title says exactly what I think.

The majority are good people, some are great people, they are still here illegally. That means they are breaking the law. Our law.

I'm all for protecting our country. This is our country, not theirs. We have to obey the law, they should be held to the same standard.

My solution?

Give all illegal aliens until the end of 2006 to register and get a card that will let them stay one more year. After that they either have to start the process of applying for citizenship or go home.

The incentive to go home? Target employers.

As of January 1st, fine every employer $1,000 per illegal employee per day, and start a few high profile checks of employers. Notify the employers that they will be targeted and checked the first week of January and tell them the consequences.

Keep a slow, steady stream of high profile checks going. Amazingly, something will start happening.

Thousands of people from other countries are here legally, registered to work. If you give in to the illegals, you must do the same for all.

Let's just uphold the laws we have.
