There need to be steps to go after the employer, seal the border, have a workable green card system, change the citizenship by birth laws, etc.

I'm with you on all of those suggestions, many of which I have made in prior posts on this forum. But to stop the influx, going after the employers needs to be the first order of business.

I have suggested that before an employee can start that their SSN and name be verified by the Social Security Administration. Currently it takes about 9 months for them to figure out that the SSN and name don't match their records and by then they've moved on. If we can debit a checking account in a fraction of a second, we con confirm a name and SSN in less than a day. No more plausible deniability for employers of illegals.

You can currently match a name and number...but that does not do much. There just is not much of a public will to bust employers. We want "cheap" goods and services.

Back in the old days, illegals were mainly single males who came here for a short stay to work and take their money home, where due to currency differentials, they would have a little nest egg back in their home country, and a degree of political power that comes with it. If we quit making it easy to stay here, it might go back to that.
