    I was being facetious. Serious jail time would satisfy me. Honestly though let’s be honest here if people didn’t hire people off the books there wouldn’t be an illegal alien problem in this country.

    You use a euphemism for illegal business practices. Hiring someone off the books is a nice way of saying felonious business practices.

    Border security is a political orphan. Liberals want the Democrat voters and conservatives want the cheap labor.

    I guess they are wrong. Maybe the GOP convinced them there were open borders, when, in fact... maybe we dont have open borders? Hmmm. Maybe the GOP likes to play games with people's lives?

    Illegal immigrants cant vote so that's not a good plan by democrats I guess, however, they can work, so maybe the pubs are winning by not coming to the table on immigration policy that is humane.

    If a business owner knowingly hired an illegal and they commit murder or another felony is the business owner to any degree responsible?

    When I suggested executing people for hiring illegal aliens I was paraphrasing that liberal, William F Buckley. He said he was in favor of legalizing all drugs with the caveat that anyone caught selling drugs to minors would instantly be executed. I apologize for paraphrasing him over 35 years later. I remember when he spoke at UF. My friends and I took dictionaries with us because he was known to use a rather large vocabulary. Was docspore one of those friends?

    We have escalated the amount we spend on "border security" by huge amounts in the last few decades. We have added thousands of new agents and billions of dollars worth of new infrastructure. The issue is that it is never enough. And if we upped that spending by 10x, it wouldn't be enough either. Or 100x.

    Sure. What would the GOP headline be if the border patrol caught fewer people under Biden than Trump? That would be a hoot.

    This part of this thread stems from a claim illegal aliens can vote and another that we have open borders. Both lies. That is the goal posts. Please try and keep up.

    I would not say conservatives. The America First & MAGA are the conservatives. They do not want an open border. The GOP, the billionaires, multinational corporations, Wall Street hedge fund managers, and institutional wealth systems want the cheap labor. They only care about money, which gives them power. These are Bush republicans who are not conservative but want you to think they are.

    Well since I never claimed such a thing and have not read every post in the thread, it didn’t make sense sorry for not following you.

    The phrase open borders is a catch phrase just like war on women.

    Our borders are far more open compared to other industrialized nation in Europe or Australia. They doesn’t mean however they are legally “open”.

    Also, anyone who does not want to pay $6 for a dozen eggs or $7/lb for tomatoes...which pretty much includes anyone who buys groceries.
