Well one can only hope. Making E-verfy the law of the land would be a help. take away the plausible deniability.
Even at that.......what happens if there were massive raids and hundreds of businesses lost their employees even if they themselves did not get arrested?
Who knows, maybe Trump is trying to lull the illegals into a false sense of security? Bunch of false alarms and pretty soon they just ignore the alarm. I would love to see ICE raids nail the illegals where they work along with their greedy employers.

A two-prong approach is sorely needed. Arrest the employers and/or fine them in such a manner that it hurts so bad that they'll actually start following the immigration laws or raising their salaries to attract legal workers.
Good. I'm sure that other types criminals have been arrested by other types of law enforcement officers as well. Everyone is doing their job. Good to see our tax money actually going toward enforcing our laws rather than dismantling our culture.

No disagreement. Do you see anyone that can do that trying to do so?

Right, it's all rhetoric with people cheering that rhetoric on. We can ask ourselves why.
Which rhetoric?
That we ARE doing something, or that SO MUCH is being done that it's "tearing families apart and destroying lives?"
Ultimately, because we cannot deport 10 million or more people, the goal is self-deportation. Ramping up the efforts on both ends (targeting the illegals here AND employers) should act as a deterrent.
But, what we need to NOT have are people on the left THWARTING those efforts publicly. Offering false hope (and as demonstrated, sometimes blatantly helping people break the law).
Any politician assisting in that effort needs to be removed from office immediately.

Fair question. Without question the first. We are not doing anything, we both agree there. The second part is more complex. Does it do long term harm for a child to be taken from their parent? Complicated question most likely needing it's own discussion.

As long as we are not addressing the employer angle, I'm going to support the people angle. I do not try and hide that.
