Most illegals sneak in to our country, to get better jobs or better paying jobs. If we want to stop illegals from flooding in, we'll have to shut off the jobs magnet.

Universal E-Verify, which would require all employers to learn if applicants have a right to work in our country, will do more for enforcement of the borders than will any increase in personnel or extension of fences.

A phase-in of Universal E-Verify was part of the Senate's immigration bill. That part of the bill seems to have fallen by the wayside. IMO even some Senators who might favor effective enforcement are getting free press by proposing defunding of DHS. IMO even if that takes place, so many people will have been issued legalization documents that defunding will be meaningless.

Universal E-Verify will seal our borders as effectively as they can be sealed, and it will do so for pennies on the enforcement dollar.
