We can deport them no matter the age of the child. The child cannot ask access for family members until the child is 18 years old. It’s not likely the parents will leave the child behind.

We get back to e-verify, however, the refusal of jobs to those here illegally and the conviction of their employers for illegal hiring.

NathanBedford has ideas on extending e-verify to make it effective. That is probably a policy that would be easier to sell. Americans are up in arms about their jobs going to illegals and legals alike. Let’s ensure legal status and current visas. Violators will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

I agree with fixing the anchor baby issue. First through legislation that will go to the Supreme Court. Then through the constitutional process, if required. Selling it to the American people is exceptionally important and requires a unified front. We don't get that from the GOPe because they are afraid to stand up for law and order, working families, union trades being displaced, and legal immigrants.

In the mean time the quickest way to stop and reverse illegal immigration is to make e-verify mandatory. I hear a lot about walls and fences, but the demand for illegal labor is the most important driver in illegal immigration. Take that away and you have a much greater chance of securing the border.

How can we deport them if they aren't subject to our jurisdiction?
