So what is your solution to this border issue?  All i hear is yapping and pointing fingers.  This has been going of for decades.  Illegals will not stop coming until extreme measures are taken.  [/quote]
Kill the demand. The supply will die out.  Make the penalties much harsher.  Mandate e-verify - and no, it wasn't the Dems that tried to kill it.  For exampe, in FL, a rich GOP donor killed a bill that would mandate e-verify.  Tea Party also opposed it because of "right to privacy", or was it because it was too onerous for the business owner?  Or was it too much regulation? ... all those things R like to talk up.

Remember, many business owners are R leaning because they want lower taxes, but oppose living wages. They like the cheap labor, especially the cheap foreign labor. That's why Trump's resorts hire these cheaper H2B foreign labor over American ones.

They could use the RICO act to put the employers in jail, but the government doesn't.

But in order to preserve access to cheap labor, special interest groups oppose sanctions, and do everything possible to ensure that the law is not enforced. That's been the case for decades. It took only five years from the time that President Reagan granted amnesty to three million illegal aliens for[b] employers to convince Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch to introduce a bill that would have eliminated all employer sanctions[/b] that were part of the Reagan amnesty deal.

The bill failed after Coretta Scott King, the widow of Martin Luther King Jr., and a coalition of other black and Hispanic leaders pointed out the “the devastating impact" that illegal employment had on semi-skilled workers, "a disproportionate number of whom are African American and Hispanic." She attributed opposition to enforcing the law to those who sought to "abuse undocumented workers and introduce cheap labor into the U.S. workforce.”

[b]Though proponents of lax law enforcement failed on that occasion, they have used their financial and political power to ensure that sanctions against employers who hire illegal aliens have not been enforced in more recent years[/b][/quote][/quote]
