Well, given this response from the Mexican president, that may be the only real option albeit one the US public won't have the stomach for...

Sovereignty?  California legalized illegal immigrants serving as police officers a couple of years ago.  Let that sink in..

$10,000 fine per worker per day for any business that hires any employee without verification of the employee through a federally-operated verification system.

 

The problem goes away overnight.

 

Neither side (politicians, not voters) wants the problem solved.

That's the $10,000 question, who has a right to defend their borders, the US Federal Government or each state?

I know Texas' answer!

I think they both have the right, who has the will.

Probably the only real impact we could make is set up shop along the border, tell Mexico we’ll be operating up to 20 nm into their airspace (and we DGAF what they think about it), and we start killing a lot of bad guys. unfortunately if you’re a “truly innocent” person who is attached to a coyote/foreign actor/terrorist, you may get caught up in it. That sucks, but the truly innocent will learn real quick to not do that (short of kidnapped). Full militarization of the border is the only option we have left that might have some real impact.

Agreed.  Since Mexico won’t handle their business, they’ve forced our hand.  It’d be a great use of our COIN and SOF assets in my opinion.

The Texas law was a good addition to the laws on the books but until you arrest, charge with the employers and other enablers of illegal immigration and employment, asylum abusers and fraudulent claims, birth tourism, etc with RICO none of this matters

Count in also H1B visas abused / used by corporations to import compliant cheaper labor often beyond their visa limits

As soon as rich mostly white businessmen and their lawyers get arrested, not released on bond and their assets seized this will not get fixed no matter how many you arrest at the border or round up in work place enforcements

And many of them actively vote Republican, so yeah, it’s not going to get fixed. A college buddy of mine owns a landscaping business in Virginia. He’s a vocal, very right of the aisle on almost everything, guy. But he never has anything to say on immigration, as nearly all his staff is “undocumented” Hispanics. It becomes easy to throw away your values when money is on the line.

Indeed. My exwife's  boss (landscaping and installation company in KBAD area) resembles that remark to a T. Rank hypocrites.

I lived next to Broomfield for 10 yrs.  It’s sad what CO policies allow.  If you bring up anything about illegals you get cast as a racist.

I don’t miss living there.

I guess im racist. 

Edit:  Im for immigrants.    I don't even care if they're illegal.   Just make it harder for the bad people to cross. For real.

Anyone who supports the status quo, quit pretending there isn't a problem.

Apparently, you’ve never lived in Douglas County.

I grew up in Larkspur in the 70s and 80s. Douglas County didn’t used to be that way at all…

Yeah man, I’m from the Front Range, so I’m pretty familiar. I’ll be dead before Douglas County, where I live, becomes a progressive dump like Denver.

North of that. DougCo has an influx of conservatives moving from other blue parts of the state.

And the insanity continues.  Good on on Abbot and DeSantis for starting this a couple years ago.  Remember when the left (even our resident leftists on here) said this would backfire on the GOP?
