RE:"I've got to tell you.......fining employers didn't seem to work in CA. Enforcement was sporadic and came under a lot of criticism. Plus, many illegals in CA don't work for companies but are day laborers for private parties. I think its better that word gets out they can't get through the border period.........that our borders are no longer porous" I believe you...the lure of cheap labor for contractors etc. is hard to turn down. People love the cheap labor but don't realize the consequences. RE:"Do you think political support is weak in part because politicians believe the borders can not be secured physically?" No. I think they are spineless in fear of losing the "illegal immigrant vote"...that mainly being the latin, chinese or haitian vote...that in sympathy would vote against any politician wanting to enforce immigration laws . As fo Bush, it's even a family thing and a cheap labor for business thing. Personally I think work permits would be OK if some of the other laws were tightened.
