It's yet another example of the Feds not enforcing the laws that are already on the books.
- A substantial portion of the illegal aliens are people that entered legally and stayed after their visa expired. Seems like nobody does anything about it unless they're arrested.
- It's against the law to employ people that are here legally, but the government allows companies to circumvent the law because they never provided a reliable means for employers to screen people and they don't follow up on the obvious cheaters. The latest immigration reform legislation under consideration is supposed to fix this - I'm not holding my breath.
I wholeheartedly agree with ending the anchor baby loophole. Unfortunately, I think it will take a constitutional ammendment to do it and there isn't nearly enough support to make that happen.
