“
Why were the employer restrictions so ineffective? During the debate in Congress, the bill's sponsors ended up watering down the sanctions on employers to attract support from the business community, explains Wayne Cornelius of the Center for Comparative Immigration Studies at U.C. San Diego. "The end result was that they essentially gutted the employer sanctions," he says.
Under the final law,
all employers had to do to avoid sanctions was to make sure their workers had paperwork that "reasonably appears on its face to be genuine." If the documents were decent fakes, that wasn't the boss's problem. In fact, employers were actually penalized if they scrutinized a worker's nationality too aggressively.”

I posted before something on it earlier. So, the problem just continued. Frankly, the illegals arriving now imo are not the same calibre of simple job seekers as 40+ years ago. Back then, I truly feel they were not consuming or looking for less entitlements than now. No voter manipulation of eligibility by democrats, No major rock throwing or violence, no major smuggling, fewer gangster types. The ACO abolish ICE and latest free medical program drumbeat and sanctuary laws in both CA and NY will be a huge magnet and incentive to only increase the problem this year forward.
Even with or without the wall, democrats want more democrat voters so they will obstruct all immigration reform like the 9th circuit keeps blocking executive orders, They obstruct the catch and release prevention, fake cries of human rights abuse and all the propaganda calling racism, nazi, etc. So much nonsense. All of this bickering just increases my pessimism.
