[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you are saying, if we use E-verify, our problems would just go away as that is the issue? Bullish-t.[/quote]

Undocumented immigrants aren’t going to come if they have no way to earn money to survive.  If employers actually used E-Verify (because there was a risk of real penalties if they didn’t), it would be much harder for undocumented immigrants to find employment, and the inability to earn money both for themselves and to send back home would significantly discourage migration.[/quote]

Are you really this naïve?  Of course they're going to come, regardless of E-verify.  I agree that employers need to use it, but there are plenty of cash-only employees who will hire anybody and illegal immigrants know this.  Everyone (except you, apparently?) knows this.[/quote]

[b]You can’t do cash only for steady long term jobs[/b]. Period. Even then the employers are doing an illegal act by doing so. Raid them a few times and they will change. It is much better and smarter to monitor few thousand employers than to monitor millions of illegals. And it is easier to punish the employers for hiring illegals because they are Americans and they better care about america as much as other Americans. Or else they could go to jail. It’s the only way TRumps could be made to follow e-verify. [/quote]

Of course you can.  And these immigrants know it.  I'm not sure how you can't comprehend this.[/quote]

This.

Come to Montgomery County.  There is a whole, flourishing 'cash only' economy.  A whole population of people who get paid in cash, pay cash for rent. landlords who collect cash payments and don't pay taxes on it, people who pay cash for healthcare and people who sell things for cash in order to not report the income.

It's beneficial to not have a high reportable/traceable income because then you qualify for lower income services.

It is absolutely possible to thrive in a cash only economy in MoCo.[/quote]

Another person who has no clue about the scale of America. We are over 330 million people. The cash economy you are saying is likely used by a few million in the entire country, won’t even be .1% of American GDP. Get some financial education and understand basic economics.
