Thread: The Folly of Comprehensive Immigration Reform Of Bishops and Business

Making E-Verify mandatory for all employers would have removed the chief incentive for poverty-stricken foreigners to risk their lives to become “undocumented aliens” waiting for the next amnesty. Unfortunately, ethnic advocacy groups and cheap-labor lobbyists whose interests are advanced by uncontrolled immigration have fought tooth and nail for two decades to block every federal or state regulation that would mandate E-Verify for all employers.

The first principle of political analysis is, Follow the money. Illegals represent money. Money for the Catholic church, money (saved) by the businesses which hire illegals.

Enforcing Universal E-Verify would be the single most effective way to elimiante illegal aliens - and it'd be billions of dollars cheaper that fences.
