Barone: We can get tougher on border enforcement. In point of fact, that has happened over the last 10 years. Both the Clinton administration and the Bush administration have responded.

We have built walls in the highly populated areas of the border near San Diego and so forth. We've had enhanced border control in El Paso, in some parts of south Texas.

The other means of enforcing law is checking on employers, going around having police, having the Immigration and Naturalization Service card employers, check identification, check documents, deport illegal immigrants.

I think at the current levels of illegal immigration this is really not a practical or feasible thing to do?/P>

it's really not possible, I think, as a practical matter to deport those people so rapidly.

So I think that if the country wants to bring these people within the law we need ? to regularize the situation and bring our laws back in line with our labor markets.
