"It’s not necessary to actively deport them all. Just enforce employment verification, and most will leave of their own accord."

How much would it cost to buy them all bus tickets?

Dear Da Bilge Troll,

Why spend the money?

I own a business. When I hire folks, I use e-verify to make sure that, at least in the government's eyes, they're legal. It's the safest way for me to operate. If it turns out I've hired an illegal, it's the government's mistake, and I'm free from liability.

If you make e-verify mandatory, or close to it, and you combine that with stepped-up enforcement against employers of illegals, offers of employment for illegals will shrink dramatically. These folks are here illegally because there are enough folks willing to hire them and look the other way, or pay them off the books or under the table, to provide economic opportunity for them.

Increase the cost of breaking the law to the EMPLOYER, and the supply of work available for illegals will decline. And they will buy their own damned bus tickets and deport themselves. We know this is true, because we had an outflow, a net reduction, in the number of illegals in the first part of the last recession, as there were no job opportunities for anyone, legal or otherwise.

Why pay for that which we can have for free?
