AKA the LACK of will to enforce the law and stop illegals from coming. Cutting off the 'demand' would not be that hard...Evenmore: The driving force behilnd immigration is the law of supply and demand, people come , because the jobs are available, not the other way round.
The IRS admitted they KNOW illegals are using stolen identities - stolen SS#s - to get jobs here in the states. Mandatory E-Verify would greatly reduce illegals getting jobs here, reducing the 'demand' for illegals. It would not be hard to ID illegals trying to get jobs and would not be hard to hammer the living shite out of companies who do hire illegals, making it far LESS profitable to hire them than not.
If there are no jobs, illegals will not come.
If there is no welfare, food stamps, Obamaphones, medical care, housing, driver's licenses, etc they will not come.
If we had a government that would enforce the law - all of them, who would stop making rules / laws for illegals that are separate than those Americans are held to, if illegal criminals were treated as such, it would greatly reduce illegal immigration.
If you cut off all funding to the Mexican government which has been proven to be helping - not stopping - the illegal immigration to this country it would greatly help reduce illegal immigration.
You can go on and on. The fact is there is no SERIOUS effort being put forth to stop illegal immigration. That is because there is a lack of will to do so.
Well , you could create an identity card and enforce fines on employers, that would cover the supply side. In fact immigration was halted by the 2008 crisis.
For all I know very few Americans are willing to take the farm jobs at $9 an hour. It would be interesting to know just how high they would need to be to be filled by US citizens and what effect it would have on food prices.
I still think the wall is ridiculous , it is cheap to build but expensive to maintain and keep manned, but it helps Trump build up his great spectacle of front runner. It is disquieting not to know when Trump is making a serious point and when he is just talking to make a spectacle and get the attention of the press. In any case I don't think he is qualified to become president.
