Con Secure America Through Verification and Enforcement (SAVE) Act of 2007 (H.R. 4088)
to the question "What are the solutions to illegal immigration in America?"
Reasoning:
"The SAVE Act (H.R. 4088) would: Broaden the definition of 'alien smuggler' to include anyone who provides assistance to an undocumented immigrant. This would impact churches, humanitarian groups, bus drivers, and others who are in no way 'smugglers' but simply do not examine immigration status prior to helping people in need. Force employers to rely on an inaccurate verification system for all employees, without any safeguards against racial profiling, misuse, privacy, or error. Cost taxpayers billions of dollars to build fences and militarize our borders, which has proven ineffective and will do nothing to fix our broken immigration system... Divert local police resources from community safety and force them to act as immigration officers, which will result in racial profiling and unreported crime."
