Seal our borders; come down hard on illegal employers

I am a strong supporter of LEGAL immigration. I am strongly opposed to giving amnesty to people that break our laws by entering our country illegally. We need to seal our borders to stop the flow of illegal immigrants into our country. We need to come down hard on employers that hire illegals. If there are no jobs for them, these folks will not come here. I do not fault anyone that is trying to find a better life for themselves. However, they must obey and respect the laws of our country.
