Where's the money appropriated to build the fence?
I fully realize that some will stay and work the cash day labor market, but it is just sheer madness to presume that we cannot squeeze most Mexicans back where they came without imposing privacy-invading magic ID cards on all US employees. We already have all the tools that are needed to audit employers, if we would only use them.
The various state and Federal agencies that get employer payments and reports of wage and tax payments have data that it appears they don’t want to know about- when they see multiple paychecks on the same day to the same SSN/name in more than one state or distant locality, this is a simple red flag that someone is stealing a citizens’ identity for the purposes of holding a job.
Any credit bureau could figure this out. It is clear that the Social Security department doesn’t want to.
Every employee has already filled out an I-9 form. Why not just audit those filings? The fact that only a nominal amount of auditing goes on is yet another red flag that government doesn’t want to solve this problem. This just sinks.
If we had 12 million US taxpayers evading taxes we know full well that the IRS would be working 80 hour weeks to audit employers and employees to put the fear of the law back into lawbreakers. The fact that the IRS, the SSA and the states don’t seem to care one whit that they have 12 million extra taxpayers who are unlikely to file claims for refunds just proves a very, very sad fact about US government today: it is all about money and power, their money and their power.
