Attrition by enforcement is the best course of action
by Mark Krikorian, Spartanburg (S.C.) Herald-Journal: . . . Since it is unlikely there will be any major immigration legislation coming out of Congress until at least 2009, it might appear that the only option is to continue President Bush's "silent amnesty" - in other words, to leave in place his unwillingness to enforce the immigration laws and his assistance to illegal immigrants trying to embed themselves in our society. But it isn't. Instead, we need to pursue a policy of "attrition through enforcement" - a third way between the extremes of mass roundups on the one hand and amnesty on the other. This means steady, across-the-board enforcement of our immigration laws (something we have never even tried before) so that not only would fewer illegal immigrants come here, but more who are already here would give up and deport themselves. The goal would be to get the total illegal population to start shrinking from one year to the next instead of allowing it to simply keep growing. Over time, the size of the problem would decrease, and we would then be able to decide what further steps, if any, are warranted . . .

That makes sense. The important thing to realize is that this enforcement will have to be done at the state and local level, because the federal government has abdicated its responsibilities in that regard.
