    Good grief.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    Why was it a problem in the first place having illegal immigrants working?

    No really, I do wonder.

    * Americans probably have some sort of social security number.
    * Tie the salary to the social security number.
    * Crack down hard on companies trying to circumvent it.

    Problem solved.

    Not only does it work against illegal immigration, but also people working without paying taxes.
    Few are born with it, even fewer know what to do with it.

    You then use someone else's number to work. very easy to do and no one it seems bothers to see if people are doing it.

    They already does this.

    * Crack down hard on companies trying to circumvent it.
    They already do this, but as Rory has mentioned, there are ways around it.

    On income that's on the w2, yeah probably, but it's kind of hard to track money that's paid under the table.

    Many illegal immigrants, especially those working in agriculture, get paid in cash. It's seasonal work and then they move on. Hard to track when there's not much political will to do so. Maybe the upholding of this law will get the ball rolling.

    I would prefer a follow up bill to create a more comprehensive way of having illegals prove themselves through work or military service to becomes citizens and have the legal immigration process sped up a lot more. Common complaints from my 2nd generation classmates in high school was that the waiting list for legal immigrants was so long and filled with red tape it would have taken their parents less time to get the money to smuggle themselves onto a ship and sneak off at port.

    It may not matter, desperate people will always find other means, I here Drug Running is lucrative these days. It's all a vicious circle, and the problem lies in Mexico's inability to care for anyone other than the top 1%.

    It has been long standing US policy to prevent any commies in Latin America from changing this situation.
