I don't know any such thing. It's illegal to Cross Illegally. Kind of like
it was illegal for you to drive 70mph on the freeway like you did last week.
(Don't lie.) But it's not illegal to Be Here After Crossing The Border. Kind
of like it's not illegal for you to be a Guy That Drove 70mph Last Week. See
what I mean? There's no crime called "being an illegal alien". We don't
throw you in jail for it. We just deport you.

The problem here, the way I see it (and you're welcome to disagree) is the
employers that hire these people. They're the attractant. Make it
unattractive to hire these folks, people will stop hiring them, and they'll
stop coming. Yeah?

If I did what? Make it unattractive to hire illegals? I think that would
send a great signal to those who are here legally. The signal would be:
We're against hiring people who are going to undercut your wages.

Which is, at the end of all this, the only real issue.
