We've got to secure the border before we even consider amnesty. While it sounds good to "lets ship them all back" that is just not practical. One, they will come right back. Two the sheer numbers involved would require police action manpower on a massive scale, we simply don't have the resources to do it. Those illegal detained at the border are not entitled to a hearing, I support that. Those detained inside the US are entitled to a hearing, but it takes a LONG time for that to happen. Meanwhile, we are feeding and careing for them ( $$ ). We need to expidite the hearing process, or determine a better method of WHO is even entitled to a hearing in the first place.

Regardless of a hearing, or a bus back across the border, they'll be back. Step one, tighten the border. That means Texas, for example, has got to STOP looking the other way. The border States, in particular, need to be more pro-active with less Federal oversight on how they handle the problem.
