There were employer sanctions in the 1986 illegal alien amnesty bill (Reagan's worse mistake) but the courts threw them out.

The reasoning went something like, we can't punish employers because the illegals may have lied to them and we can't let the employers verify a worker's status because it would invade the prospective employee's privacy - perfect circular judicial reasoning.

In 1986 there were about 2 million illegals in the US. Now there are between 8 and 14 million. Recognizing that we aren't going to be deporting the equivalent of possibly 5% of our total population - the equivalent of New York City plus LA County, some kind of accommodation has to be reached. But before we do that, not maybe after, we MUST take control of our borders and find a way to punish people who seek to profit from the destruction of our national sovereignty.

Rome fell because it wouldn't control it's frontiers. We could go the same way.

"Rome fell, because it wouldn't control it's frontiers. We could go the same way."

What's your solution? Do you support building a massive wall?
