If the system of E-Verify were rigidly enforced, they would no longer be coming as illegals but through the temp worker visa system instead. They would either maintain housing in Mexico and commute daily or weekly to jobs in the border areas and return to their families in Mexico or bring their family with them under terms of the visa arrangement.


They would not be flooding into the U.S. illegally because it would be well known there would be no avenue of employment open to them. They are not as likely to suffer the risks of crossing illegally just to end up sleeping under a bridge in the U.S. when it costs a heck of a lot less to sleep under a bridge in Mexico.


No more angst over whether they or their children are being treated humanely. No more glut of cheaper labour with the attendant loss of budget due to welfare and other stipends they obtain fraudulently while, for the most part, not paying any taxes.

Less available remittance money flowing back into Mexico if the ones arriving legitimately are put into the system of filing with the IRS and paying local property and state taxation.

Just a better result all around and no more of this nonsense of building walls and separating families to deal with.

FORCE employers verifying their potential employees are legitimate and reporting of new hires to a central database through a criminal penalty if bypassed, et-voila; problem solved.

We can't even take care of kids and adults that are US citizens. Stop putting illegals ahead of Americans.

Out of that 70%, then, how many of said people will open their homes to these people?

There's a difference between moaning on facebook about this, and actually putting money where mouth is and acting on it.



Yes, I absolutely would. Since there are none here to take in, I donated whatever money I can spare. It isn't much, because I don't have much, but I do what I can.

Why don't you invite all these illegals to come to Canada? You can be the first one to welcome them with open arms Once you welcome them, surely you will move some of them into your own home.

That said, E-verify needs to be the law of the land. Once it is the law of the land, everybody in the US workforce needs to be run through it in order to weed out the 8 million no-matches.
Hey there; you do realize I suppose; you just made my point for me, don't you? That's exactly what I'm saying. Nothing more nothing less.

Why should I invite them to Canada because you've got sleazy employers? You're not getting my point at all.

No, that is not what I said.

Someone stated that six month old babies traveled to the border unaccompanied.

I am merely stating that that is impossible.

Twisting words just makes you look bad.

From the justice department. Not a news source. This was new policy, not old law.

“Attorney General Jeff Sessions today notified all U.S. Attorney’s Offices along the Southwest Border of a new “zero-tolerance policy”...”

https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/attor...-illegal-entry

Additionally, here from the actual Department of Homeland Security is the description of the new policy. Check out its release date.

“The Attorney General directed United States Attorneys on the Southwest Border to prosecute all amenable adults who illegally enter the country, including those accompanied by their children”

https://www.dhs.gov/news/2018/06/15/...tions-families

Maybe read up before you complain about being fed up.

Besides, ultimately that's not the point! The point lies in the fact that young children, infants, and toddlers are being taken from their mothers, fathers, or primary caregivers, and placed into the suspicious custody of people who most likely don't have their best interest at heart.

That's like handing the brooding hen's eggs to the fox who hungrily "guards" the hen house...
they are NOT refugees... they are ILLEGALS

I respect this. There are actually people out there who do put their money where their mouths are. Vast majority doesn't.

One of my FB friends actually pays the IRS extra--I think he's crazy, but more power to him.
