#1 Oi vey, oi vey, oi vey. How about you just start leveling business-destroying fines (and upgrade enforcement) on anybody employing illegals?

#2 Jailing would be more effective than fines.

#3 Jailing won't get the necessary public support - fines, on the other hand...

#4 Business destroying fines and jail! Maybe even personal asset confiscation.

Jailing is a cost center, fines are a revenue center...big diff. Add something to the fines that impact the managers / owners of said business directly and personally.

#6 Link Western Union money transfers to Mexico with IRS tax returns. No verification of tax filed for previous year, no transfer of funds. Money transfer application and foto forwarded to the IRS.

Have a nice day.

#9 Some nice walls. They've got to be expensive. One kind of looks like the Great Wall of China.

#10 Walls aren't worth much without a willingness to use them - they just slow the border-crossers down a bit so they can be apprehended or killed. Once the crosser community believes they will be apprehended or killed they will stop trying to cross. Interestingly, the number of crossers seems to have dropped drastically in the last few months, without the wall being built at all. Sounds like people down south believe Trump's talk and choose not to risk their life savings and huge chunks of future earnings.

#11 Obama's done enough damage to the US economy; let's not trash businesses any further. If you want to jail / deport the illegal workers, fine.

Levy a 5% to 10% tax on monies going south of the border and use it for constructing the wall.

#12 One of these from San Diego to Brownsville would be more effective and provide a lot of employment opportunities (for decades). Makes tunneling a bit of a challenge.

Congress would never pass such legislation. It makes too much sense.
