One that will prevent all the little amnesty measures being attached to other bills, one that says "this is the way to be legal, and only this way"
And while we're at it let's tackle the abuses of the H1b visa program by requiring companies to sponsor college students and throw in special grants for students who sign work contracts.

OK, A constitutional Amendment then.

Yes the laws we have now ARE ok, except that we have politicians who are constantly saying "just this once you get a free pass" and the illegals are just waiting for the the next one. We need to put a stop to this.
Don't even get me started on the abuses to LEGAL immigration that's been going on.

You do have a point worth consideration, there has been bills recently with attachment regarding the "Dream" initiative, nightmare is more like it. and the "racist organization" La Raza is lobbying "bribing" for attachments on any bills for their racist agenda.
stay informed people!

Yes! We do!
President Bush signed a bill allowing a fence last year... where is it?
Most of the politicians work for "BIG BUSINESS" though and don't want our borders protected... they only want cheap labor. They probably would never pass a bill that didn't have amnesty or at least a "guest worker" program.
Congress seems to be working for the ILLEGAL ALIENS instead of the AMERICANS who voted them into office!

Why a new bill? Why not just deport the illegals and enforce the immigration laws? They were there for a reason, to begin with!

That's meaningless, as a matter of law, because any later law can change or override that.
Only a constitutional provision (amendment or interpretation by the Supreme Court) can override statutory laws.
Otherwise, we'd have laws on the books from a century ago, because Congress would say "nobody can change this" all the time. Which utterly defeats the purpose of being able to elect new people.

Why get new ones when we have perfectly good laws on the record already? We just need some enforcement.

They are going to continue their discussions on removing the borders that serparate the three countries (Canada, America, and Mexico). WELCOME TO THE NORTH AMERICAN UNION.

That's no sh**...actually we don't need anything new..all we need is for the pols to do what we send them to congress to do...and enforce the laws we already have in place...if we modeled our immigration laws after what Mexico uses, we'd soon cure the problem...K ;o)

All we have to do is keep fighting. Never rest. The past bill was killed because WE SPOKE OUT. I won't rest till I see they start deporting the criminals.

We already have the laws on the books to address this problem. We just need to put enough pressure on our elected "Representatives" to force the issue.

Personally, I liked Stephen Colbert's bill: "GET OUT".
