DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) -- Rudy Giuliani said Wednesday that if elected president he would end illegal immigration in as few as three years by employing the same police tactics he used to reduce the crime rate as New York mayor.

"It can be done. It is not impossible," Giuliani told his audience at a town hall-style meeting. "You can do this, you can stop them at the border."

Giuliani said he would boost the number of border security agents to 18,000 from the current 12,000, and build a fence along the U.S.-Mexico border with technological monitoring to reduce illegal immigration.

He also would deploy federal agents along the border at 50-mile intervals, using high-tech monitors to detect people trying to enter the country illegally.

Additionally, four states have already gone to a federal/state I.D., which means, before they get a state I.D., they must have a FBI and DOJ check, which will reduce if not eliminate fake I.D.'s to get a job. Now, all we have to do is eliminate the welfare system and have the recipients out there picking fruit if they want a check. See, problem solved. Never happen though, as liberals will whine and moan on behave of the recipients in order to retain their votes. Government dependence, that's what it's all about nowadays.
