What happens if we successfully enforce current immigration laws? Economic damage to America. It is already ongoing in the Silicon Valley where not enough immigrants (legal and illegal) can be obtained. Many of those who demand more immigration enforcement are also the reason why we need more immigrants. Those many did not bother to get better educated. As a result, we need more immigrants.

The solution advocated by those many? More of what did not work for prohibition.

What happens where immigration laws are more strongly enforced? As demonstrated in Nebraska and the northern dairy regions of NY State - the economy turned down so greatly that business owners even asked immigration enforcement agents to leave.

How to solve the immigration problem? Increase immigration visa numbers from a few hundred thousand to the millions we need to keep America productive.

TW is correct. If we simply did the right thing and allowed a free flow of immigrants to come here as easily as the Irish, German, Dutch, French, English, Italian, etc. immigrants did...(just show up, sign your name, and make sure you don't have small pox) We wouldn't have any immigrants sneaking over the border. They'd walk right through the front door, get legal id's, get auto insurance, use their own social security numbers, and pay even more taxes.

The only thing preventing these people from using their own social security numbers or getting legal identification are the same idiots who complain about them not having any. They demand that government not allow them to get ID, but at the same time whine when they use someone else's.
