Immigrants should not be punished with jail or deportation for trying to improve their lives. The businesses that encourage them to come here should be punished. If the people have no where to work they won’t come here… A to B to C… If companies want to hire immigrants then make one of the benefits the assistance they need to obtain citizenship… I’m sure the companies could still get away with paying our minimum wage for jobs that should be paid more.
Per usual there is always a problem with enforcement of these kinds of laws but if every state did this I think there would be a huge change in the number of immigrants coming into the country. I think this ‘legal fence’ is far more efficient that the ridiculous 700 mile border fence currently under construction (at taxpayer expense).
