Actually, there is a loophole in federal immigration law. Foreign workers are allowed to work for agriculture businesses picking fruit in fields without any documentation. Agriculture businesses rely on the low wages of foreign itinerant laborers. Who else would work for all day in the sun harvesting for a few dollars? Don’t you dare hire them to do full-wage work in any other industry though.
Well, lets see — more agents assigned to the border, hundreds of miles of new fencing and cameras installed and a much lower rate of illegal entry … done despite endless, shrill complaints and legislative roadblocks from the people who scream every time the government tries to increase spending and are now criticizing federal efforts, it’s not a bad record.

Illegals are the backbone of many businesses, large and small. If you want to stop illegal immigration, prosecute the businesses that hire them.
One night in jail for the first offence would probably do it.

How did you make a quantum leap from enforcing current laws to a police state?
