Exactly. Federal, state, local governments,but also businesses and consumers - people like us -- created this climate where illegal resident thought it was okay to come here.
I do think we have to secure the borders, make it clear undocumented workers are not welcome.
Let's start by admitting , farmers in particular, don't really care if they are illegal or not....that they want cheap labor.
There are very few "farmers" today. These are large corporate entities largely making these decisions.
Quote:
This farm belonging to the family of a Republican politician chose not to really e-verify. They are complicit in this.
And Trump and his administration are refusing to face that issue.
How much you want to bet that farm has a surge of e-verify applications in the next little while...hmmmmm
The family of the victim should sue the farm and the federal govt. for not demanding e-veerify.
That would get the point across -- better than a wall
The only thing that will work is people refusing to cover for "their party" and that is not going to happen.
"]why would they bother, it doesn't affect the upcoming election or what might happen to Trump?"
Actually it COULD.
With more and more liberal states issuing driver's licenses, it is NOT inconceivable for illegals to VOTE.
In FACT , some states ARE ALLOWING illegals to vote in local elections already.
Not following the argument...it takes more than a driver's license to vote...that is just a grant if driving privileges. If you aren't going to have a mass deportation...which would raise all manner of issues...withholding driving privileges for millions of people creates a lot of issues.
I think we need to find a way to make much of our illegal population legal...the ones who have otherwise not been convicted of any major crimes and who have been leading productive lives here...while tightening enforcement of future immigration and making our immigration process more reasonable (such aas fster processing time for applications...which can take years now)
Conservatives have been highly tolerant of illegal immigration as well. They make money off of it...they often run the companies and farms that benefit or receive campaign donations from those that do. For what it is worth Obama actually stepped up enforcement.
No he did not. This has been covered extensively. He simply changed the definitions.
How many corporate CEOs have been locked up for flouting our immigration laws? We all disagree on a lot of things on this board, and have a pretty poor record of being civil and understanding toward one another, but I bet we can all agree on what the answer to that question most likely is.
No we can't. I've been arguing this for years and when it comes right down to it, having "your guy" always beats doing what is right.

Televised images of a few major corporation CEOs being led out of their board meetings in handcuffs would work wonders.

Thanks for the patronizing tone. Obama actually deported more illegal aliens than any president in history...and more then the cumulative total of all 20th century administrations.
I did watch the video. She made a semi-sincere condolence to a family that has not broken any laws but that has been permanently separated from their daughter and then launched into the "real problem" being illegal aliens who have broken the law being temporarily separated from their children. She has plenty of opportunities to make her case for open borders, but don't do it in the same breath as offering condolences to a family whose daughter was just murdered by an illegal alien.
The net effect of what Warren said was that the murder of that young women is secondary to the interests of illegal aliens.
That's correct, and Warren just guaranteed the pro-Trump candidates, some extra votes.
I hope that she keep running her big mouth.

A 2010 TIGTA investigation showed 1.2 million undocumented workers cited income earned with another person’s Social Security number when they filed their tax returns in 2007.Those numbers came directly from the IRS records. TIGTA also conducted its own analysis, finding a statistical sample of ITIN tax returns showed 80% of ITIN taxpayers used someone else's Social Security number for employment."
Since 54% of illegal aliens can pass an e-verify vetting, the key to solving this problem and deporting illegal aliens who try to work illegally in the US is to use the IRS data base to round them up and deport them.
"So 1 person who was here on a government's E-Verify system is the voice of all so called illegal immigrants?"
The fact that you even typed this shoes how LITTLE you REALLY now about the issue.
You must get your "news" ONLY from the alphabet TV stations!
"Ignorance is bliss", as they say.
You mean not from right wing sources?
