7. With regard to comprehensive immigration reform, what specifically should be done with the 12 million or more illegal immigrants in this country? Should they be forced to leave the United States? If so, is it feasible? How should that be done and how will it be funded and what process would you suggest for the return of some to the American workforce? If not, how could that be done without encouraging others considering illegal immigration from coming to the United States in hopes they'll be allowed to stay, too?

In retrospect many of the individuals who worked on the 1986 law said the failure of that law was not the amnesty, but rather the fact that it did nothing to manage the future flow of people into this country. By granting amnesty they encouraged others to come forward. The failure was that we had no program to regularize those who wanted to come into the country after the 1986 law. Immigrants were told to get into a line run by a government bureaucracy and to wait 10 or more years. Now, because of the federal government's failure, we are dealing with a larger population of illegal immigrants then ever imagined. A system needs to be established that allows those to come out of the shadows and be identified. Once they have been identified, they may have to go outside the country to get the proper work authorization. I don't think it is feasible to deport 11 million overnight. It could crush our economy because we would be removing consumers from the market, removing workers from jobs and we would have to spend billions of dollars for new police, detention facilities, and transportation. However, the economy could be protected with a reasonable process whereby workers could leave and return after a period of time has passed. Likewise, a reporting system that allows for flexibility will protect small businesses and family farms from collapsing. It will allow employers to work with the government to make sure reporting requirements are not overly burdensome and — at the same time — compliance with the law is not only possible, but realistic.

8. Utah has a law that provides in-state tuition to illegal immigrants who attended high school for three years in the state and graduated. It also has a law that provides driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. What is your position on those two laws?
