The two major party candidates for US Senate here in Missouri were recently asked by the Associated Press for "the ideal solution for dealing with the estimated 11 million illegal immigrants in the United States." Their answers are below. Which one said which?

"First, secure the border. Second, implement technology and a strong employer verification system. We should develop cooperative protocols between local officials and federal immigration authorities. This will allow law enforcement to hold unlawful immigrants for deportation when they stop or detain them. Third, enforce strong employer sanctions. Fourth, aggressively train Americans for jobs in areas of the economy, like construction, where more workers are needed." — Correct Answer: Jim Talent

"I believe we need to increase fines and penalties against these employers to prevent them from hiring illegal workers. Jobs are plentiful for illegal immigrants because employers know they can hire this cheap labor with no consequences . . . I don't believe amnesty is an option for anyone who breaks the law, undocumented immigrants or the employers who knowingly hire them." — Correct Answer: Claire McCaskill
