Isn't there something we citizens can do while waiting for the border fence? How about a partial boycott against restaurants, one of the largest employers of illegals. If an individual or family eats out four times a week, cut back to twice a week. A boycott would lead to layoffs of illegals, and many illegals would be compelled to return to their country of origin, on their own. This would take some 'sacrifice" on the part of
U.S. citizens, but it would show both offending parties (employers and illegals) where the real power lies in this country. Not compassionate? My compassion is for the U.S. citizens who are losing their jobs to illegals.
