I read that as wanting the government to do their job enforcing illegal immigration, instead of just stepping back and allowing IA's to stream across the borders, and then collecting money from businesses that hire them

To me that's tantamount to a government run scam.

I see it differently. If I'm not mistaken, the issue has to do with employers not willing to pay for a background check on possible new hires. Boehner thinks that is an undue burden. I say, baloney! You hire an illegal, you're breaking US law and you should be prosecuted and punished. Period.
