It works both ways.
Illegal crossings at our southern border are down and much of the decrease may be due to the publicity regarding a crackdown.
The best of this policy lies ahead. Employers soon will have plenty of incentive to check the status of potential employees. When word gets out that nobody can hire an illegal, the flood will start in the opposite direction.
I hate to tell you but there has been a sharp increase in these grass crawling invaders coming across our southern border. So much that there is not enough room to house all of them and they are once again getting a "get out of jail free" card and kicked to the curb. We know it as "catch and release".
Until we have enough room to house them, but we don't because DHS funding is too low to build mansions for them to stay in OR we get them judges so we do not violate their RIGHTS they roam our streets, drunk, stealing and raping our teenage girls.
So you can dream on about self deportation. These grass crawling invaders will not leave and are here to take America back from us and until they conquer us without firing a weapon in a declared war, they will keep doing what they do. Work without paying taxes and sending most of their money back to Mehico propping up that country from failing while bringing over their family a little at a time.
