I would be interested in a study to note how many come here for employment, and how many for freebies.
After the first trip back to Mexico and they cross the border again, its jail time!
Thank you for the kind words - I'm involved in several broadcast media projects, some campaign stuff, and a book in the planning phase now. My contributions to Breitbart and American Thinker have slowed down due to that. But they'll be back.
Attrition thru enforcement. Once you shut off the job magnet and enforcing our immigration laws, many will leave of their own volition. You also leverage state and local law enforcement to check on the immigration status of those being held or detained for other crimes.
40 million is a low ball estimate.
Now it's mostly ALL the freebies. That's what all the hand outs and sanctuary cities are about. But you can't tell that to most people. They go around and enjoy the fruits of low cost labor in every good and service they buy, but get religion when they fire up their laptop. It is the height of liberalism to punish businesses for problems caused by the government - and between welfare and border policies, this is a 100% government caused problem.
why don’t you shut off the hand out magnet first? It’s easier to do, and more effective.
“E-Verity is already mandatory.”
Its mandatory nationally. I had not heard.
Here is a link to NumbersUSA. It is a map of states that have mandatory E-Verify.

The reason we have not deported illegal aliens is not lack of means, but lack of will.
I recall the INS, in the early 1970’s rounded up about 30 Colombian illegals at the Jackson Heights Number 7 train station. All 30 were Colombians and illegals. The judge freed them all because he claimed the INS did not have probable cause to detain them. He wanted to know how the INS could distinguish Colombians from Puerto Ricans, who are U.S. citizens. The INS argued that they could tell from the way they dressed, their accents, and besides, they had gone 30 for 30. Held no sway with the judge who released them all.
I thought it was because you were working on your list of trumpbots on FR which you say you will release when the time is right. So far, have you only named me officially? Quite an honor!
You sort of proved my point. I was talking about reforming what we hand out to our non working citizens.....a point you seem to have missed. THATS the tie. Everybody, duh, knows about the other.
Yes Ike did it and in very short order as well. Go after employer & cut off all TAX $$$ and most will deport there self as they did then and will now. Let them we R coming after them they go FAST!
nah, that doesn’t take much time. And it’s not a release of the list....you miss the point. It’s the I told you so moment when the liberalism that is certainly imbedded deep in the Donald comes roaring back to bite us in the ass. And it’s gonna happen.
Maybe this next debate. Maybe as nominee. Maybe two years after he’s in the Oval. It’s in there - it’s who he is. To deny that is to be willfully ignorant.
Tying steel, breaking and shovel(ready)ing rocks...and pouring lots and lots of concrete, at the border.
“They are not “hiding in the shadows”.”
That is SO YESTERDAY. That was back in the Cesar Chavez days when you picked lettuce in the fields and your kids and wife stayed home (in Mexico).
Today they’re FRONT AND CENTER and IN OUR FACES. No problem finding them, just as the author states.
So welfare reform is low on your list. Got it. Welfare(all government handouts) is one of the biggest draws foe illegals and that includes medical. Turn that off and a significant number of illegals will self deport.
All it takes is political will.
If a Christian can be jailed then illegal immigrants can be deported.
Stuck with Fonzi and Richie in the 50's are you? Right, this is exactly the same country.
Seriously, the following factors are totally different now: A: there's now a huge legal Hispanic population, not the case in the 50s. B: There is now a much bigger and more activist lefty legal community, which will fight every single deportation tooth and nail, and enough liberal judges to allow them to win. C: Once some of these messy things go video viral, there will be backlash...there was no YouTube in the 50s. I could go on....but the Ike analogy is just a non starter.
Employment is one pole of the magnet.
The other pole is free government cheese; welfare, section 8, EBT, WIC, SSI, etc.
If all they could get from any level of government is a ham sandwich and instant one-way transportation to their country of origin, we'd save billions.
