A version of E-Verify has been in place for almost 20 years.
No one pays attention to it.

The views of #NeverTrunpers like Goldberg are worthless and a waste of time. Who gives a sh*t what this bastard thinks?

NO .. no bargaining chip. A FACT! Then mess around with immigration. We’ve been promised this wall before and it never got built...they lied. Build the wall, then we talk.

Let me get this straight:

A bunch of crooks break into a bank (the US), face no penalty, and their kids not only get to keep the proceeds, they get to profit from it?

I don't see where they have a case.

Whatever 'bargain' is reached can't be bargained over safety and exclusion of illegals of all stripes.

After 9-11, EVRYONE agreed we should have a wall/fence/barrier along our southern border.

It was a matter of security........security....not immigration.

Just read the title of the NR article. Author just doesn’t want the wall built. Come on! OK better enforcement means we can save the money. Does this mean the next Rat POTUS will enforce the laws? Just like the Chinese babies born on the island of Saipan. Ain’t gonna stop. Ulterior motives. Gotta stay one step in front and Trump knows it.

Wrong again Jonah. The wall is not negotiable with Trump’s base. It’s his “no new taxes” and never Trumpers like Goldberg know it. It will stop the influx illegals rat voters cold.

Once an illegal is present and in-country, the lawless courts and corrupt cops will allow him to work, they will prevent his deportation, and they will look the other way when he votes.

Physical presence or absence in the country is the “possession” that is nine-tenths of the law.

Jonah does not want a wall because he is a Cheap Labor Express propagandist.
He knows it would be effective.

On the general idea, he's been implacable. And that's a problem.

A problem for you Jonah, not a problem for most Americans. The never ending attempts by #NeverTumpers to rationalize/bargain/wheedle out of building an effective wall are simply astounding.

Saipan has a big ocean between it and China. Doesn’t stop those with money from vacationing there while pregnant. No visas for those with-child? Trump should speak out on it and then watch the left howl. A least the fence sitters will open their eyes.

Hell, the dem's PROMISED border security to Ronald Reagan after his amnesty. It never happened...because democrats are liars and backstabbers...no movement on DACA until the wall is fully funded.

Trump is a real estate developer. It is impossible he doesn’t understand progress payments on construction projects.

My prediction: he will insist that Dreamer processing track wall completion, e.g. when 10% of The Wall is physically complete and operational, then 10% of Dreamers can have their paperwork processed. No wall, no money for Dreamer paperwork. Then it would become a matter of budget vigilance every year.

This is his ace in the hole. Otherwise, a wall bill is just another authorization bill with no incentive for Dems to actually fund it.

The Israelis traded land for peace - it predictably failed. Trump knows better than to trade something tangible and immediate (Dreamer legalization) for a promise of future performance (wall funding).

After 9/11 George W Bush REDUCED border and interior enforcement.
Not everyone agreed.
