$7B in tax credits paid to illegals
Even without providing Social Security numbers, child tax credits were issued. These credits are another incentive for workers to migrate here, especially those with children who need support.
Monarchs
Since I'm dealing with them, I figure I should post a link to a site that tracks the Monarch Butterfly migration.

fun research?
Jess--With all the time you'll have this weekend, you might want to work while you watch My Fake Fiance, a new ABC Family original movie!
"The cash-strapped duo hatch the perfect plan - fake a relationship, engagement and quickie wedding...and they only have to stay together long enough to make it look authentic."
Though it's for the money and not a green card, might be worth a look at how it's done.

More Walls
Gotta love stumbling- Architectural Prozac Found this site with some inspiring representational images, but one of them was (believe it or not) about a wall.
"The Atlantic Wall was one of the last major defence lines of this century, built by German occupation forces in the period 1939-1944 along the coasts of France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Denmark and Norway. During this period more than 12.000 heavy concrete bunkers were built. The project underlines the Atlantic Wall’s architectural, aesthetic, and cultural landscape value as a transnational cultural heritage, preserving a shared memory on European soil an heritage to be safeguarded and protected through the creation of The Atlantic Wall Linear Museum."
