But you can make stiffer penalties for employing illegal immigrants and actually enforce the hell out of them. Once a business loses thousands of dollars they will stop employing illegals. If they can't work here then they can't earn money and sending money home is their primary reason for coming here. Eliminate that and you eliminate the reason.
Also, it would be a good idea to change our citizenship qualification to the standard that the vast majority of the world uses and eliminate birthright citizenship. The reason for this being included in the 14th has long since stopped being an issue
Boom. Nailed it. A lot of folks who pretend the US is xenophobic and racist don’t realize that most developed countries in the west don’t have birthright citizenship, and like you said, they also don’t realize it was set out to protect the rights of newly freed slaves, not 21st century illegal immigrants.
The person in charge has a lot more power than the Democrats care to acknowledge. Illegal immigration significantly cut back under Trump, then went apesh*t the first month Biden was in office.
