To Hell with a Fence -- Build a Highway!
Yep. Since we're likely never to see a fence if illegal immigrants are granted amnesty (a rose by any name yada yada yada), use the money to build a highway from our southern border.
No traffic checks. No speed traps.
Name it the Ted Kennedy Freeway.
Provide full-service pull-off's (courtesy of US taxpayers, of course) every 200 miles or so. Preferably overlooking barren vistas, deep ravines or swampland.
Create an "exit only" ramp into the neighborhood of every friggin' senator who votes in favor of the current Immigration Reform bill.
At the bottom of each ramp, confiscate vehicles and bus each new American to the senator's front yard.
Otherwise --
Build the damn fence, hold employers accountable, register illegal immigrants and THEN reform existing immigration policies.
For those who register -- offer viable options for temporary work permits and/or temporary designated legal status to those without criminal records who also have proof of health insurance and financial support.
And while you're at it -- establish a class action suit for each state and all citizens who have been victimized by stolen social security numbers and/or personal identities to sue for compensation.
