In Re: "You can't deport X million people!" We can if we actually want to. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. We start with the easy cases -- the ones who identify themselves in public by carrying signs at rallies and acting as "activists", the ones who fail E-Verify, the ones who try to apply for driver's licenses and in-state college tuition, the ones picked up by the police for other reasons and discovered to be illegal, etc. It needn't be expensive – just transport them to the nearest border with their home country, usher them across, and let their own country deal with them from that point. Then we can work on targeted raids on those notorious "day labor" sites and on employers known to be hiring illegals. ...

4. Re-establish the principle that birthright citizenship applies only to people whose mothers where in the country legally when they were born -- as was historically the case in the US and as is currently the norm for nearly every other country on earth. 5. Re-vamp the legal immigration process to emphasize skills and the ability to be self-supporting. Require that immigrants are not eligible for any form of government aid. If they can't support themselves they need to go back to their home country. And as long as there are able-bodied people on welfare the US needs absolutely no unskilled workers whether permanent or temporary.

The Right, Just, and Moral approach to this problem: 1. Secure the border. Finish the fence and track down the visa over-stayers. 2. Make it impossible for illegals to work. Mandatory E-Verify coupled with strict penalties for hiring illegals. Companies that discover that illegals have duped them (as happened at the factory I worked for when, in preparing the W-2s last year, the HR person found about a dozen people sharing the same SS#), should have to turn over all the contact information they have for those people to Immigration. 3. Deport every illegal that comes into contact with any level of government. It is INSANE to give drivers licenses to illegals. You find out that the applicant is illegal, take him/her into custody and...

"The need for an increase in the number of high-skilled H1B visas is a simple fix that could be done tomorrow." What need? What was the unemployment rate among American STEM grads again?

It would help if the "moderate" Muslims who supposedly oppose the Islamists/Jihadists would start, um, actually OPPOSING the Islamists/Jihadists.

No person should ever be forced to shower alongside someone who is likely to be sexually interested in him/her. There is no difference between a homosexual pervert in a locker-room shower with other members of his/her own sex and a normal pervert peeking into that shower through a concealed peephole or concealed camera.

To not know key functions of your job is to be completely incompetent.

If it weren't for double standards left-libs would have no standards at all.

Yeah. Right. The only way not to know is to be willfully blind. News flash -- willful blindness and intentional ignorance don't relieve you of your moral responsibilities.

In a sane world, when a college discovers that an applicant is an illegal alien they don't offer that applicant in-state tuition, they turn over the name and all the contact information to the immigration authorities so that applicant can be deported to his/her home country and take advantage of the educational opportunities his/her own countrymen are willing to finance for him/her.

Its a true, crying shame that our young people are taught to devalue the most gloriously intimate, most profound, most self-giving act of unity between man and woman into a mere meaningless rubbing of body parts. Sex is supposed to be about generously sharing one's most fundamental being with one's beloved, not about the pursuit of a moment's selfish pleasure. It is surely an act of Satan to turn what should be a gift of love, life, fulfillment and unity into the dead emptiness of the hook-up.
