Penalties for employers should be swift and severe. I'll be happy to talk about that too, but this has been about what to do with the people already here and the people crossing over.

I agree with all of this as well. Certainly, the demand is the main issue. Make strictly enforced penalties for the corporations that hire illegals and it will go a long way towards fixing this problem.
