427 TJ said it right. Like most of these "issues" there are many common sense ways to fix them for good, but the politicos don't want that. Know what it costs to run for political office in the USA? Not thousands, but in most cases, 10's of thousands of dollars. Where does all of this money come from? From the PAC's and Big Business, who in turn, need those juicy contracts and business protection laws from who else? The politicos, that's who. A vicious circle.

Fine the businesses who hire the illegals and that would stop the hiring, which would stop a large percentage of the illegals.

However, be prepared to pay more for that Micky D's Big Mac (We have seen a spike in the price of happy meals here in N.O., post katrina, even with the infux of our mexican neighbors from Texas).
