But, what do you bring to the table?
You want to create jobs by writing laws, but jobs are created by introducing more hungry people who are willing to work.
Since you can't find Americans who are hungry enough or willing enough to work the jobs on offer, you're trying to raise the price paid for that job to "entice" the citizens to get off their butt.
You're trying to starve some of the people who are working for you already, deny them food and water, to force them to go elsewhere, to leave a vacuum back in your neighborhood so that you can charge more for your work.
That's your plan.
It will seem to work at first, since the crops have been planted already and still have to be picked. But, the next crop, it's the next planting season, the next cycle of economic activity that you'll really see the long term effects. Those farms are going to Mexico too. They are going to plant the next crop in Mexico, and pick the harvest with those same workers who move back, and then they will hire Mexican truck drivers to truck that crop back over the border, under NAFTA, to sell you back the same goods, with the same workers working the fields.
All that will happen by that law, is that the businesses will move out of Alabama. And Alabama will become a poor state, deserted like a ghost town in the mid-west.
Sorry, the illegals don't get the subsidized food.
Remember, illegal immigration has been going on since America was founded. It's not a recent phenomena. There has never been an America without illegals. Every 7 years or so, the Government passes an "amnesty" law that makes all those illegals legal, at least those that have been here more than 7 years. America has been "growing on illegal immigration". That's why it's so prosperous, or was. It's only about 7 years ago that the US started this anti-immigration campaign, and the country started to fall.

As the nation's attention turns back to the fractured debate over immigration, it might be helpful to remember that in 1986, Ronald Reagan signed a sweeping immigration reform bill into law. It was sold as a crackdown: There would be tighter security at the Mexican border, and employers would face strict penalties for hiring undocumented workers.
But the bill also made any immigrant who'd entered the country before 1982 eligible for amnesty — a word not usually associated with the father of modern conservatism.
America is like a car, "immigration" is the accelerator, and "taxation" is the break.
I'm one of the very few people who know how things work.
Not so irrelevant as you think.

The people who are here illegally need to return to their country of origin. Period!!
If the Federal Govt would actually enforce the law, then the State would not have to intervene.
Very simple. Obey the law.
Why is this so hard to grasp?
My god what the hell is wrong with this lack of understanding?
"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

But, you have to understand that the concept of "LIBERTY" which is written into the US constitution, requires that every law written can be broken. So there has to be some "moderation" in the application of enforcement. Otherwise, the society will become oppressive to all, and there will be LIBERTY FOR NONE.
Since the Fed officials are sworn to uphold the US Constitution, they cannot take away the individual's LIBERTY.
I know it may seem complicated to you, but if and when the constitution is violated, and the microchip is implanted to track everyone and make them follow all law, then you'll remember these words....
"We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
Section. 8. (4th line down) To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;
Section. 9. The Migration or Importation of such Persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the Year one thousand eight hundred and eight, but a Tax or duty may be imposed on such Importation, not exceeding ten dollars for each Person.
You want to create jobs by writing laws, but jobs are created by introducing more hungry people who are willing to work.
