The INS no longer exists; it was replaced by ICE nearly five years ago. It is true that illegal immigration can be dramatically reduced by simply enforcing existing laws, which means coming down hard on employers who hire these lawbreakers. This is called Attrition Through Enforcement," and it works. In those areas of the country where raids have taken place or where ordinances against landlords and employers who profit from illegal immigration have been passed, we have seen large numbers of illegals voluntarily leaving those communities or even the country.

By increasing the fees to apply for Green Card or Citizenship, the US Gov't has only fueled the hardworking side of the persons who require this status, they will work as hard as they have to and they will get it so face it and deal with it. America was not bulit by Ameircans, actually there is no such thing as a true Amercian, America was built by immigrants of Europe, especially Britain. The so called Americans must remeber that they uprooted the Native Americans so they are now paranoid that the imigrants will do the same to them. However, the pie is big enough for all. Also, in terms of persons who have their visas and when they come to the airports in the US the immigration gives them so much of a hard time they need to be informed that not everyone who visits wishes to live there. I visit there and I have no wish to live there, I cannot live on the edge and that is exactly what America has been living on since 9/11, everyone is papranoid.
