We feel that the same illegals come, are caught, returned to Mexico and then attempt to enter again illegally.

Jail - Labor - Camps
Why not set up a camp like the sheriff in Arizona who puts criminals to work for 6 months or longer. This would make returning illegally to the USA less desirable. Drug criminals should be dealt with more harsh measures.

Braceros
Also, we need something like the old Bracero program of the 40's and 50's to employ legal aliens. They could be given papers for the work program that could not be counterfeited, finger printed, and DNA taken. Also they would be required to prove their next of kin in Mexico.  The burden of proof would be on the worker.  No pregnant women would be allowed and women would have to return to Mexico after 6 months. Illegal pregnancies would not be given citizenship to the babies.

Illegal Citizenship
Illegal births would be obviously in violation of the law, so pregnancy tests would not be required.  The child could be given to the next of kin and the woman placed in the camp.

Cooperation
All Texas cities would be required to work with the Border Patrol as well as Doctors, Hospitals, State Benefits of every type, etc.

Employers
Employers would be required to employ only legals or suffer consequences and help the legals to follow laws. They benefit the most so should help the most. Also, this would encourage employers to rehire the same workers again and again and discourage known violaters.

Employers would be required to pay a portion of the wage to help fund the program.

Breach of Contract
If they take off to other states, let those states deal with them. But they could never come back to work in Texas.

Board
Also, a board should oversee the program made of half politicians (50% from each party) and half from sectors of the economy to keep politicians from cramming stupid laws down everyone's throat. Also, a judge to break ties.

I know this is over simplistic, but something must be done. The demographics of the illegal population cannot be tolerated. We are losing our state to illegal foreigners.
