I suppose I was vague about who I thought those sneerers were, but I
certainly didn't mean you. I meant those who enjoy using the term as a
cudgel.

What state do you live in again? I will write a letter on your behalf to
your local DMV.

On the second offense I would disallow them entry in the US in
perpetuity.

I would also have the 14th amendment changed too. One or both parents
must be citizens in order for you to be a citizen, or your parents must
have been in the country for 3 continuous years prior to your birth.

The problem with putting the onus on the employers for being
documentation experts is that they have no way of verifying that the
documents presented are true and correct. If you are going to go in this
direction then a national ID card is required.

The woman who cleans my house is Hispanic. I have no idea what her
immigration status is. Does that make me a criminal? If everyone who
hired illegal aliens were to be imprisoned, we'd have to build a whole
hell of lot of new prisons.
