Make employing illegals a jail time felony. Same for spending Medicaid money on them or issuing drivers licenses. They will be out of here by Xmas.

Looks like the Commerce secretary nominee would be in for some serious time in the slammer under that law.

“Make employing illegals a jail time felony.”

No need to “make” it a felony. It already is a felony. All we have to do is enforce the law.
Anyone arguing to the contrary might as well be an Obama or Clinton Democrat.
This is Trump’s raison d’être: why he was elected.

Section 274 felonies under the federal Immigration and Nationality Act, INA 274A(a)(1)(A):

A person (including a group of persons, business, organization, or local government) commits a federal felony when she or he:

* assists an alien s/he should reasonably know is illegally in the U.S. or who lacks employment authorization, by transporting, sheltering, or assisting him or her to obtain employment, or

* encourages that alien to remain in the U.S. by referring him or her to an employer or by acting as employer or agent for an employer in any way, or

* knowingly assists illegal aliens due to personal convictions.

Once you start making exceptions, or start following some sort of soft-headed act utilitarianism, the exceptions swallow the rule.
Illegal, but you want a `choice’? You’re outta here, unless you prefer prison.

AND enforce it! It’s illegal now, just not enforced.
