It seems we could make them not really like to be here anymore, if we enforce laws against hiring illegals.
Gotta cut them and their kids off from welfare to. Or they will stop working, but won’t leave.
Kill the incentive, and many will self-deport. As to other countries who criticize our policies, I have one simple comment.
How many do you want?
1. Have the IRS wash all W2 Forms through SSA computers to find all bogus SS numbers or duplications and the employers that harbor them. Raid the employers, arrest the employees that have SSN problems and verify their legal immigration status. If here illegally, deport the illegals and their families back to Mexico after taking biometrics of the illegals. That goes a long way to fixing a lot of our immigration problems.
2. Announce the policy and say it becomes effective in 45 days. Announce that all employers who have knowingly hired illegals will be heavily fined and will do prison time. Then do it when these scofflaws are found.
3. Require all employers E-verify ALL foreign employees during the 45 day grace period. Require E-verify for all new hires.
4. Announce that if you are deported and come back across our borders without following proper immigration procedures and do not have a valid work visa and Green Card, you will serve 10 years in a federal prison with no exceptions.
George Will makes the classic mistake of thinking it's impossible to get rid of illegals. Just enforce immigration law and make it too risky for employers to employ the illegals. A lot of our illegal immigration problems will solve themselves through self-deportation.
Absolutely correct. An even easier solution would be to pass a law that say if you are in this nation illegally thirty days from now, you can never become a U.S. citizen, and we reserve the right to jail you forever.
