I noticed, but chose to elaborate on existing law. As for cracking down on hiring illegals, there are laws already in place to deal with this issue. They just need to be applied. We have adequate federal enforcement, but there seems to be no will to seek out the offenders, and even less will to prosecute the offenders and deport the illegals. Instead, Obama prefers to release illegal criminals back into mainstream America to ply their trade.
Obama has deported more illegals than any other President. By far. So the question is, why is there no will to prosecute those who hire illegals? If instead of hiring illegals, they joined in the identification effort, the whole deportation task would be several times easier. Everyone knows this. But everyone also knows that hiring illegals is very profitable. Money talks. You're willing to get rid of them (which is damn near impossible) but you just shrug your shoulders at the ever-present motivation they have for coming here -- people PAY them to come here!
Perhaps rather than deporting the same people over and over and over, there could be a path to citizenship through employment.
Please feel free to provide a link to some of that evidence.
I've seen significant evidence that illegal immigration has skyrocketed in California in the last 20 years, and the rates of crimes you're talking about hasn't skyrocketed...
In fact, statistics tell us that those cities with the highest percentage of illegal immigrants are among the safest cities in the US. I've posted multiple studies showing things like this, but when facts battle memes, facts lose. Badly.
