Illegal immigrants are coming into Texas, but not from where one might think.
The rush is coming from Arizona, Oklahoma and other states -- places that have recently passed tough new anti-illegal immigrant laws.
The two toughest measures are in Arizona and Oklahoma.
The Oklahoma statute, which took effect in November, makes it a crime to transport, harbor or hire illegal immigrants. Effective Jan. 1, the Arizona law suspends the business license of employers who knowingly hire undocumented workers. On a second offense, the license is revoked.
Anecdotal information seems to indicate that illegal immigrants are leaving these states in growing numbers. - source
Forget the border fence. If they can not find jobs they will not come here illegaly. We should do this on a national level and require employers to verify worker IDs electroinically. The system is already in place at the federal level to do this but employers are not required by law to do it right now. The best part of this plan is that you don't need to hire thousands of federal agents to enforce it because once word gets out that employers are losing their business license for hiring illegal workers they stop doing it a demonstrated in Arizona and Oklahoma.
Thoughts?
