Even if you catch everyone of them, it’s only a drop in the bucket.
Shut them down at the border, with severe measures and consequences, and maybe you can stop the flow of the illegals
But we know that that won’t happen!


Prosecute the millions of Americans who hire them, but we know that won’t happen either.


Very true Birdy. Here is the conundrum. The situation here is most are now employed by a "cousin" ,( using the term very loosely). And the end result is their apparent immunity to rules and regulations. Local level politicians and officials are also either "cousins" now, or are afraid to touch them and be branded with some racial epithet. A brilliant example is the marble counter top factory that has sprung up next door to me.





Ahh, I've been wondering how it got done in my area. Most of the Burley tobacco around here is cut & put in the barn by Mexican crews. But the grower hires one guy & he brings the crew, the growers never just go to town & look for workers, or pay them individually.
Growers avoiding the problems of hiring illegals that way & likely(say it ain't so) avoiding the taxes that are supposed to be paid on each individual worker.
