Immigration legislation

What on EARTH were they thinking??

"The House of Representatives has passed legislation that would make it a felony to be in the U.S. illegally, impose new penalties on employers who hire illegal immigrants and erect fences along one-third of the U.S.-Mexican border. The Senate is to begin debating the proposals on Tuesday."
From a CNN article here.

I can't begin to comment on this - the bigotry and blindess, the negation of so much that America is supposed to represent... on the most basic level the complete idiocy of thinking we can actually enforce much less afford this law.

Of course, we could just go with our current plan of making the rest of the world despise us. That should keep 'em out.
