One huge step....if you hire illegals....you are prosecuted.
"Take the sugar off the table and they won't come to the picnic."
Over 40 years ago, shortly after our marriage, we visited her family down in Phoenix and Nogales. Subject was illegals and the problems they cause. Everyone knew locals were hiring them, but no one seemed to care. I suggested punishing those hiring illegals. That went over like a lead balloon. Some of these inlaws were in local law-enforcement. Well here we are. Nothing changed.
edit to add "except it's worse now."
