BTW. If the Feds enforced the employer sanctions contained in Reagan's Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, illegal workers would be left with no alternative choice but to leave the US and return to where they can find steady work.
Sure. That's all there is to it. Just enforce the law and everything is peechy. No blowback. No unintended consequences. Zero downside.
Right.
If anything like that was going to happen, then a Republican White House and Congress was the best shot. It didn't happen, and now it surely won't.
Now what?
