Enforcement Works!
As often touted by yours truly, enforcement works when it comes to illegal immigration:
The illegal migrant population has dropped an estimated 11 percent through May after hitting a peak last August, based on census data used in a report by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS). Much of that decline is due to people who self-deported by slipping back across the border.
The drop began well before unemployment went up, which points to the real success story: Washington’s wake-up call last summer to beef up enforcement, from plugging leaks in the border to cracking down on employers who hire illegal workers.
And further proof:
Immigrant remittances to the Bank of Mexico are down after years of rising.
So much for the left-wing scare tactics that claimed we’d have illegal immigrant concentration camps. It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you actually enforce the law.

Some serious penitentiary time for the business owners will certainly speed up this process.
Congress is trying to kill the E-Verify bill, either by underfunding and letting it die after three years. The battle is going on in the House now. Pelosi has momentarily been stymied.
The Amnesty crowd, of which John McCain is one, want this bill dead. Go to http://www.numbersusa.com sign up and fax your idiots every time they start acting unamerican.
Stop Congress and Tyson, Perdue, ADM and even the small farms here in Vermont from taking American’s jobs.
Get the corn out of the gas tank, put it on the table and if food is going to cost more let it be because we are paying fellow countrymen more to pick it. That way the money stays in our towns and country, not Banco de Mexico.
Let them stay down there and fix their own s**thouse country. Have another revolution.
