Good luck getting congress to pass that law.
I agree 100% but lobbyists would have to be outlawed first.

Ummm...it doesn't cost "billions" of dollars to build a freaking wall!! We build better walls every single day, and they don't cost "billions" of dollars!
Oh, and then there's the I-9...so, isn't there already laws about not hiring illegal aliens??? Yes, it's for federal and state work, but farms don't spend trillions of dollars, governments do.

There will never be a wall because many corporations want illegals to work for slave wages in nasty environments like slaughter houses, chicken processing plants and the hotel industry, stoop labor in the ag industry, etc. No workmans comp, no insurance, the corps that use slave labor also have lobbyist to keep the status quo just like it is. There's simply to much profit in cheap labor.
Trump just uses his "wall" as a symbol to keep his base riled up. And "mexico will pay for it" is just stupid!
So to stop all that, I am sure you are completely on board with changing the laws so that all the horrible sweatshops will be closed down and we don't have that problem anymore?

I believe it is already a law, hence false IDs. But when more than 63% of illegals are on public assistance, I know that is the larger draw.
