Agreed on this solution. Too bad none of the Republicans want it. Why? I'm guessing because they like looking like they are working on the problem but are making too much money on the status quo....That doesn't have to mean some "Papers please" law, but rather we deny illegals access to legal identification while in the US. No driver's license, no ability to open a bank account, no ability to enter a contract, that sort of thing. No employer will hire you for fear of being arrested themselves. Toss in if you are here illegally and arrested, somebody will check your immigration status when necessary. If you're here illegally, no bail because you are a flight risk. You get held, get charged, get your day in court, and if found guilty, are deported....
A wall won't solve the problem; only making it illegal to employ or rent to illegals along with mandatory E-verify and other legislation will immigrants seek to come to the US illegally.
