Forbes is dead wrong on this issue. I understand that they are defending their territory (the businessman) but targeting employers is the quickest way to dry up illegal immigration. That and a border fence would solve 80% of the problem.
Illegals might be beyond the long arm of the law because there are so many of them but if businesses are targeted and the jobs dry up the incentive to cross the border will be mostly gone. Not that I have any confidence at all that congress and the prez will lift even a little pinkie to do anything.
Another little noted fact is that House Democrats are responsible for keeping “felony illegal” provisions in the House Immigration Bill, HR 4437. In a slick maneuver December 16, House Democrat Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-CA, was one of 191 Democrats who joined only 65 Republicans providing the majority voting to block an amendment to the HR 4437 immigration bill which would have removed provisions making a federal felony of illegal entry or presence in the U.S
