And there's MORE coming....since the dem congress couldn't come up with a solution ....the WH is taking stronger action.....finally.

White House goes it alone on immigration
Conservatives opposed to earlier legislation call White House effort encouraging
Employers of undocumented workers would face bigger fines
Administration wants quicker background checks, visitor exit system
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A crackdown on illegal immigration will have to go forward without help from Congress, the Bush administration said Friday, asserting that an executive-branch-only approach is better than doing nothing.
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff is to announce changes Friday.
Two Cabinet secretaries -- Homeland Security's Michael Chertoff and Commerce's Carlos Gutierrez -- said they hoped to have new tools to combat illegal immigration before moving further to cope with the problem. But Congress could not agree on comprehensive legislation.
The officials said they'll rely instead on tools already in their arsenal, some of which are already under way, including a plan to administratively sanction employers who hire illegal immigrants.

Now, now.
You're going to piss roadsmith off for bringing another of my threads to the top.
She can't handle it when she see's Bear's or my threads all at the top because people are actually RESPONDING to them, while the other posts just fall to the bottom.
And she's not smart enough to grasp why that happens.
