1. Fine employers that hire illegals
2. Deport illegals when captured
3. The above 2 steps will "encourage" natural self-deportation
I would argue the current economic situation is helping with the immigration issue as well. I have read numerous stories of the undocumented worker chasing the american dream working in construction or landscaping, but now it has all fallen apart along with the housing market.
I just read one the other day about a family here for 11 years packing their crap and heading back to Guatemala.
Oklahoma has the best law and now the demoncrats are saying it’s not working because not many illegals have been arrested and deported.
I guess it doesn’t dawn on them that the illegals LEFT the state so they wouldn’t get arrested and deported.
