It was invented after pro-Amnesty commentators claimed it would be “impossible to deport 11 million illegals.”
The idea is simple, legal, and humane.
Require ALL employers to use E-Verify, and fine or sue employers who do not.
When illegal immigrants discover they can't find work, they will “self-deport” and return to their home country.
And then you get moron journalists posting things about how the "right wing" has some psychological "inferiority" issues and is being "led" when we are angry with our government for selective enforcement of our laws (different thread, but I'm STILL angry about it).
