How? They walked across the border, they can walk back.

The 2nd question is the easiest, fine and jail employers who use illegal labor. There are already laws in place, they just don’t use them. If it costs more to have an illegal working for you than for an American, companies will hire American’s. It’s all about the almight dollar, that’s why people hire illegals in the first place. If you’re going to jail if you get caught (my favorite) then you will make sure your I-9 is filled out correctly and use everify.

That's nonsensical and smart alecky. Is someone going to escort them? How will we know they've actually left? What about those who didn't walk across, but got here some other way, overstaying a visa, for example?They're going to walk to Paraguay? Don't we want to confirm that they've left? There are obvious logistical issues to be addressed if anyone is serious about it, which I doubt.

Which one? Fine? Jail? or Both? Who enforces it? Do we have adequate manpower to get it done? How long will it take? There will be costs associated with it. How to pay for it?

That's part of the reason. But it's also the amount of work illegals do. You ever picked fruit professionally? I have, and let me tell you, I'd like to see the white man that can keep up with them little bastards. They'll work 14 hours, go to sleep in a little shack, and do it again the next day, working at farms and orchards far away from populated areas.

Likewise in restaurants. You ever work in a kitchen? I have, and again, those bastards work HARD. Long hours, no complaining. A lot of these guys are excellent workers. I've worked with em.

All that said, I say they should go, too. I'd just like to hear a politician get beyond the sentiment and start talking about how it actually gets done. Let em come back legally.
