Any of the Republican governors could end the illegals problem in 5 mins if they wanted. Simply make it a crime to hire illegals and the economic incentive vanishes.

None of them have done that. Not Abbot, not DeSantis. It shows who is really in charge.

None of them have done that.

In most States, the legislature makes the laws.

That's not true. Even CA attempted this about 15 years ago. The company I work for had to let go a number of installers (Union guys) because they could not prove citizenship.

The guys we had to let go all went to work for our competitors because they didn't care about the new law. Now nobody checks, nobody cares and wages in the non-union sector are stagnant at best.

Well obviously that should happen - but governors don’t make laws.

A border that is vigorously enforced, and we want a government that deports everyone here illegally. And we want it done quickly.

Derek Hunter gets it. It's time to stop evil democrats, their cartel buddies and their butt boys in the press.
