How?

Just a general observation: conservative, moderate, and liberal journalists must all be thrilled to have the immigration issue to write about (because I'm sure they're noticing that the American public is getting a bit tired of the Iraq War issue). As usual, these writers are the some of the few — well, besides some politicians — who will benefit from the existence of such a difficult issue.

But for the thousands and thousands of words I've read regarding immigration over the past few weeks, I've yet to read any truly feasible solutions to the problem. Some want to snap their fingers and have 'illegals' disappear, and others think that continuing along our current path is okay. Others in the middle realize that a compromise between the extremes must be made, but what is that compromise and how should it take place? Something must be done and nothing will be easy.

Steve has mentioned on several occasions that simply enforcing existing laws is a solution, but let's be realistic here. How would that happen? I'm all ears, but as I mentioned above, no one really seems to know.
