without rewarding those that are here illegally (like amnesty)

So what is the solution. Track down all the 11 million illegals and deport them?

We need to take a cue from the legal immigrants here in Silicon valley. They are returning to their countries of India, China and Taiwan because the economy and the opportunities here are less than what it is in those countries. We need to do the same for the illegals. If they see that they come here and starve even after they spend hours standing at the parking lots of Home Depot and Lowe's, they will go back. And the way to achieve that is to crack down on those who give them the dollars.

And that is what I expect Obama to do. Be a "different President" from his predecessors on this issue. And those who remained silent on this issue during the tenure of past Presidents need to just shut up until they justify why they were silent now and are now coming out. Is that political? They need to consider that before they accuse this President that he is doing so for political reasons. As I said earlier, his hands were forced on this issue.
