Deporting 20 million illegals

It is often said that we simply can't round up and deport 12 or 20 (or whatever the current numbers are) illegal aliens. However, this isn't really the argument, and this statement is further used to preface amnesty, which is simply another word for surrender to foreign interests.

I don't think we need to round up millions of illegal aliens, nor grant amnesty to millions of foreign nationals whose very first activity in the USA was breaking the law. After trespassing, they then proceed to steal an identity of an American citizen to allow them to take a job. The lack of consideration of our laws is then followed not by adapting to and joining our society, based on our belief system and constitution, but by an intent to change America to their liking, by not accepting American values and language, but bringing their own and expecting Americans to adapt to theirs. We are considered a friendly and gullible northern part of Mexico and Central America to many illegal aliens.

There must be a coordinated effort by local, state and federal authorities along with business interests to stop the alien magnet, which is represented by jobs "that Americans won't do." If the magnet is turned off, many will deport themselves back to their country of origin because they will realize that the lure of America, the freedom, the prosperity and the rule of law, will be there no longer for them unless they choose a different, legal path to citizenship.

Crackdowns on airport staffing are certainly more important than crackdowns on restaurants and farm fields, but the airport story demonstrates the severity of the problem. It took a worker who cooperated with federal authorities to clear one Chicago airport of 24 potential terrorists working in restricted areas with phony ID cards. How many more are there at O'Hare? How about any of the airports in the country?
Secure the borders for exit only at the same time you turn off the magnet.

O'Hare workers arrested in alleged fake ID scheme
Federal and local law enforcement agents raided several warehouses Wednesday at O'Hare International Airport and arrested 24 workers who were allegedly in the country illegally and using phony security badges for jobs on the tarmac, cargo areas and other restricted zones.

"Most of these workers loaded pallets, freight and meals for companies doing business at O'Hare," including commercial airlines such as United Airlines, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Qantas Airways, said Elissa A. Brown, special agent-in-charge of the Chicago office for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

"We're still at the point where we don't know how we got to this point," said Brown, who declined to comment on whether any of the arrested workers -- most of whom are from Mexico -- have criminal histories. All face felony charges in Cook County for carrying fake IDs and, although they are being held at Cook County Jail, they are expected to be deported, officials said.
