The illegal immigrants would all go home starting tomorrow, if Big Bidness and small bidness stopped hiring them. Unless and until firms are held responsible for hiring illegal immigrants, they’ll continue to hire them, and they will continue to climb over, go around or under whatever wall is built to keep them out.
Illegal immigrants are one more form of subsidies for business and corporate welfare. This subject gets all mixed up with things like, We need them to pick our grapes, tend our gardens and take care of our children. How many grapes do they pick for you? What’s the name of your Mexican gardener? Who takes care of your children? And why if we need immigrants, do they have to be illegal? Why don’t we let more legal immigrants into this country? Why is it easier to get in illegally than it is legally?
This country dragged people into it for over 200 years who didn’t want to come. Now the big problem is keeping out those who do.
However, cities around the country have started imposing fines on firms that hire illegal immigrants and, in the short term, you’re going to see fewer illegal immigrants coming into this country. However, such laws will, of course, be declared unconstitutional by the supine court in another 5/4 decision, and then we’ll be open for business again.
