[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With all the immigration enforcement happening, how many criminal employer of illegal immigrants have been arrested? [/quote]

need to mandate e-verify.  Not sure why Democrats refuse to mandate e-verify

Deportations are a necessary part of any credible enforcement system, [b]but E-Verify is a less costly and more effective way to stop illegal immigration[/b]. Moreover, as the journalist Lee Fang has observed: 
[i]“Studies have shown the negative impact of immigration on wages for competing American workers, especially those with lower levels of education.”
[/i]
Fang describes how the “industrial-scale employment of undocumented workers that has become standard in certain sectors of the American economy” has expanded well beyond the food industry and now includes a rising number of underage migrants working in construction and other industries.

We just ran a real-world experiment on how surges of immigration impact wages. “According to new analysis,” Fang report, “the corresponding tight labor market [during COVID] produced rapid salary increases among those working at the bottom of the income scale, particularly those in leisure, hospitality, and transportation  -  the very industries with the highest concentrations of migrant workers.”

But after the pandemic, major business lobbying groups “ successfully pressured the Biden administration to loosen immigration restrictions and to grant protected status to a variety of immigrant groups so they could take jobs in American factories, restaurants, and meatpacking plants, thus alleviating the pressure to continually raise wages. As migrant workers streamed into the country, wages for blue-collar industries returned to stagnation.”

The Legal Workforce Act (H.R. 251) would mandate E-Verify and it has bipartisan support. E-Verify levels the playing field for American workers and employers.

Tell your Representative The Legal Workforce Act, H.R. 251, is a bi-partisan solution to the hiring of illegal workers.[/quote]
