For years I’ve been saying we should use the RICO law on criminal employers. Under RICO the government can confiscate the personal assets of the board, the officers and the executives, including their homes, cars and retirement accounts.
If the government impoverishes 30 or 40 corporate big wigs, companies would be firing illegals faster than they hired them. Many of them would then go back where they belong. If we cut off tax paid services to illegals, the rest would go home too.
What we need is an administration that enforces the law. The problem would be solved
We really need some type of foolproof identification system, whether it be a social security card or some other type of proof of American citizenship.
I understand that this would strike many libertarian types as evil, but I see no other way in which we can effectively go after employers, most of whom can easily be fooled by today's high quality identification fakes.
Don't we still have minimum wage laws and laws that require withholding and remitting taxes? As much as I detest both laws, they are still the law. Audit the books and then prosecute those who are violating the law.
Quite frankly, that is our greatest argument against the illegals. In Texas, the illegals have dominated the school systems so that our massive property taxes are used to buy the school districts professional-styled sports arenas and provide gold plated taj mahal environments to people who choose to live 12 people per apartment.
Watching hospital after hospital close, along with watching food banks empty, along with more of this crap where the Mexicans demand more services and entitlements than even a Katrina "Where's Mine" scam-artist, we will get tired of paying the tax and will say "No" to the next bond election. Otherwise those within the gated communities will only experience the effects of The Invasion when their lawns are mowed, the pools maintained, and the furniture dusted.

The Legal Community will kiss your feet at this proposal since it means that if the options are "lose everything" in RICO forfeiture, or huge tax-deductable legal fees, these "corporate big wigs" will choose the latter and will keep the courts (that you pay for) tied up settling these claims. I don't see great motivation in prosecutors to win these cases either. Probably plenty of out-of-court settlements so there won't be this psychological impact that you are planning on.
Enforcement on the employers, I believe is the correct way to handle this. Quite frankly the argument against enforcement is silly. We are talking "government" here. A corrupt, lazy, incompetent government made up mostly of college trained Marxist liberals who are in government to "make a change". What this translates into is that you will have token prosecutions in token industries. These industries will be targetted purely on politics so that high profile companies like Walmart will get papered while the Avacado growers will be ignored. If the illegals being dragged out are Korean woman from nail salons and others that will solicite great sorrow and compasion when played in the media before the naive public, then those industries will get hit.
The beauty of the "enforce the current laws" deal is that it is completely impossible to do an overnight "bust" so union politics can come into play here. For instance the construction workers unions can hit non-union shops that hire illegals - that has political possibilities. But who in the world is going to sic the hounds of justice on the tomato growers? Answer, no one, so they will experience a de facto amnesty without the political fallout.
