Chip: I think it must be beer - he looks pretty relaxed. Laurie: I don't know about fame and fortune, but I'll settle for strange looks from passers-by and a little extra money for doughnuts. Brenda: That may be part of a solution, but I kind of feel like cracking down on employers who hire illegally would have a larger effect. If illegal immigrants can't get hired as easily, it may reduce their incentive to risk a border crossing. As for deportation, you're probably right. It wouldn't be feasible.

Look forward to more. There is only one "simple" solution to the problem of illegal immigration and that is to re-enforce the border patrol, perhaps even building a partial fence. After that the solutions to the problem get very complicated. Rounding up and deporting 12 million illegal immigrants is however an impossibility. When a politician utters that phrase I turn him off and write him off. Great cartoon! Look forward to more.
