I talked to President Bush about this issue recently. He agreed that we need to get to what you might call a tipping point. Once we are serious and get border enforcement up and going in a real way. we get more Border Patrol agents. we end the catchandrelease policy. we put up fences and vehicle barriers. and we have sufficient detention beds so people dont have to be released on bail after they have been apprehended. never to show up again when they are asked to come back to court. if we end all of that. all of a sudden we will see a dramatic reduction in the number of people attempting to come. Couple that with a really workable biometric identifier card for people who come here with a lawful entry right and a job. and they have to present that card or they cant get work. people will wait in line to get that card. If we crack down on businesses who are hiring people without the proper identification. they will quit hiring people. Most businesses will do what you tell them to do. We can get to that point very easily. far easier than a lot of people believe. where we can go back to a lawful system of immigration for America. That is what the American people want. They have every right to insist on it.
