If you force the businesses to pay illegals the same wages and benefits as citizens and put stiff penalties on those who dont, then all incentive businesses have to hire them is immediately eliminated.

Did I read that right? Force businesses to pay illegals more? :bloated:
How about this… Force businesses NOT TO HIRE THEM. And when they do make the business responsible for hiring them pay huge fines. It isn’t that hard to do a basic background check. Businesses hire illegals becaues they know if they get caught the worst they’re going to get is a small fine, and more than likely they’ll just get a slap on the wrist by saying, “we didn’t know they weren’t citizens”.
But there will always be cash jobs no matter how much you try to crack down on businesses. There has to be a border crackdown as well.
