Elected officials won't do that because it hurts big business. Those are their donors. Sure they throw some red meat to their base about building a wall to keep brown people out. But they know it won't do much and be expensive as hell.

I actually agree that more can be done to catch and penalize employers (e.g. the demand). You and ISiddiqui replied to my response to AENeuman when I questioned his statement on "the people" and "elected officials" being inconsistent on what they say vs do/support re: unauthorized immigration.
You want to blame businesses and elected officials in the states with most unauthorized, I agree with you. Let's keep "the people" and majority of other elected officials out of this.
