The reason I think the OP approach is classist, is because the practicalities of enforcement will tend to over target the largest businesses. I presented my point in the way I did to contrast what people think it is ok to do to a company being quite different from what people approve of doing to their neighbor. |
We can NOT kick them out.
There are 20 million of them.
To even kick out 1 million of them would create a humanitarian crisis.
Can you even imagine 20 million people moving under forced migration?
The death toll would be in the multi millions.
I am as much against illegal aliens as anyone.
But some sense has to be used. These people are after all, "People".
The ONLY way to make them leave is to make them want to leave.
Applying tremendous pressure to the employers is the best and possibly the only way to get that result, short of our economy falling below Mexico's.
