A Novel Concept

Enforce the law.

The U.S. Border Patrol plans to announce today a "zero tolerance" operation to prosecute, jail and deport all illegal immigrants caught in the bustling Laredo area, marking a significant tightening of immigration enforcement along a key U.S. border corridor.

This stepped-up effort is an expansion of the Border Patrol's "Operation Streamline" project in the Del Rio and Yuma, Ariz., sectors, which sharply reduced illegal entries. That is being expanded to the sprawling Laredo sector beginning Wednesday, officials confirmed.

This reminds me of the late Sonny Bono. When asked about his proposals to deal with illegal immigration he responded to his inquisitor: "What's to talk about? It's illegal."
It's about time we started treating illegal immigration as a crime. Who says that Republicans are doomed? Americans are sick of nuance and finesse and crave common sense solutions.
