It is as simple as that.
We provide both. We can stop providing both and therefore the incentive to come illegally.
I am an employer. Any new laws should be focused on the employer, housing and providing accurate quick checks of legal status via the Federal government. It is crucial that an employer can run a social security number and know if the person providing is who they say they are. With a online picture ID they could. Then there’s no excuse for not verifying legal status.
Employers that hire illegals increase their profits while everyone else pays for their children's education and medical care (among other costs). The illegals pay in taxes nowhere near those expenses past on to everyone else. Employers that knowingly hire illegals are effectively stealing from everyone else. I have no sympathy for them.
Fine. Come up with a workable and realistic plan that will get illegals to take responsibility and register, an idea that Jackie Mason and Raoul Felder had in today’s American Spectator.

Just curious about the logistics. I got my SS card at 16, when I wanted an after-school job. I understand now they're issued to babies. Who's going to handle updated pictures? How often?
