You mean that immigration would be the same or lower if that bill hadn't permitted employers such as myself to determine if employee applicates were legal (for real, without forged papers)?! The same, not lower. The bill does not curtail illegal immigration. If you don't hire the illegal, someone else will.

Are you saying that Illegals would still come at high numbers if the Employee Verification system was mandatory? Even if they knew the only available work would be found hanging out in HomeDepots parking lot?
