And even if they built the ultimate wall, that does nothing to address those that enter legally but stay after their visa expires.  And not ALL illegals come from Mexico.<br><br>Illegal immigration is the rampant problem that it is because it's worth it.  The risks are negligible, the rewards are large, and it's too hard to immigrate legally.<br><br>What's really needed is reforms to make it easier to get a green card, huge fines for employers who hire illegals, and rewards for turning in an employer of illegals.<br><br>If those who take advantage of illegals knew they were facing huge fines and jail time, they wouldn't hire them.  If nobody's hiring them, they won't come.<br><br>Then untangle the mass of red tape that it takes to get a green card.  Just reverse the risk/rewards balance and the problem disappears.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Wyverndude]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 11th 2009 6:56PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Construction Begins on Hi-Tech US Virtual Border Fence]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/05/11/contruction-on-u-s-virtual-border-fence-starts/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/05/11/contruction-on-u-s-virtual-border-fence-starts/</guid><description><![CDATA[Wyverndude, this is one of the best short statements about the situation I have read.  I would add that the relative success of some historical border fences, eg the wall in pre-unified Germany, was due to the fact that much of that fence was actually a double fence with the area in between a killing zone.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Daniel Herzer]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 11th 2009 8:19PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Construction Begins on Hi-Tech US Virtual Border Fence]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/05/11/contruction-on-u-s-virtual-border-fence-starts/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/05/11/contruction-on-u-s-virtual-border-fence-starts/</guid><description><![CDATA[Only reason the immagrants come to this country is JOBS  Make it illegal to hire an ILLEGAL and that woudl stop the flow. Two Years ago  they caught 150 people using the same Social Security Number, at a Meat packing plant in Catcus Tx. The owner was Tom Hicks owner of the Rangers  Mancheaster Union and Dallas Stars. He is the next door Neighbor to George W Bush. Lets change the law you get caught hiring an Illegal you loss EVERYTHING  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[joeinbost]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 11th 2009 7:43PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
