We are headed for immigration reform which is going to disappoint a lot of Trump supporters.In regard to immigration it really is. If we put teeth into our immigration laws that hold employers responsible for hiring illegal immigrants the jobs will despair and illegals will stop coming. That might create a labor shortage in some sectors but that can solved by issuing more work permits. If we treat visas like identification and developed a tracking system we can stop overstays. Over a period of time, illegal immigration would become a minor problem.Your basic assumption that people illegally enter the US to give birth to children to take advantage of US welfare programs is simply not true. It makes no sense. It's dangerous to cross the border and there is no guarantee of jobs nor any government support. All federal welfare programs require proof of citizenship, picture ids, and social security number and employment information. There is no assistance for family members who are not us citizens. There is no prenatal care except in a few states that fund it.--------------------------------------------------------------- B.S . illegal alien parents eat the taco shells , refried beans , steak , cheese , onions and cheese that they buy with foodstamps for their recently dropped USA widdle babies Flopper .For the 16th thousand time, illegal immigrants are not eligible for Medicaid, nor food stamps, nor welfare. The only healthcare they are eligible for is emergency service through a hospital. Children who are US citizens are eligible for benefits but not their parents. According to immigration authorities about 99% of illegal entries are to get jobs or be with immediate family.
In Mexico, there are welfare programs for the poor which includes free medical care including prenatal care, prescriptions, and hospitalization for those who can not pay. This is also a limited food stamp and welfare housing program.
If we want to solve the illegal immigration problem we need to stop hiring illegals and we need to start tracking and enforcing visa expirations. If we do this our illegal immigration problem will disappear.
If only real life were so simple ....
Or we could let wages rise.
And Trump has been talking about more "teeth" with regard to employers.
