I have been reading news items every day about immigration law enforcement for at least half a dozen years, and while this is not a scientific observation, I rarely hear about someone going to jail for hiring illegal aliens, though this is possible under federal law. I hear much more frequently than one might expect that someone is in trouble with the feds for H-1B violations, and sometime these cases involve time in jail, as in Mr. Gupta's case.
Now, given the fact that there are about 900,000 H-1Bs in the country at any one time, and about eight times as many illegal alien workers, why do I have the impression of more enforcement of the H-1B law, than of employer sanctions? At least proportionally? Not that there is much of either.
Given the numbers cited above, there should be roughly eight times as many employer sanctions court cases as H-1B ones. In both kinds of cases the employer is exploiting aliens, shouldering aside U.S. workers, and violating the INA. There would seem to be a moral equivalence here, one violation being as deplorable as the other.
We Made Donald Trump PRESIDENT — What Else Can We Do?

How many different ways can Americans express that they want a whole lot less immigration and absolutely no amnesties?
We already tried amnesty once. The 1986 amnesty under Reagan was supposed to be a one-time fix. We’d forgive the estimated 1 million illegal aliens living here and, in exchange, draconian measures would be imposed on any employer ever caught hiring an illegal again — up to a $10,000 fine per illegal and jail time for repeat offenders.
We never got the employer sanctions.
There weren’t 1 million illegals — it was 4 million.
It wasn’t a one-time fix. In another real-world example of “incentives,” the first amnesty led to a never-ending stream of illegals across our border, confident of getting in on the next amnesty. Today, there are at least 40 million illegals living in the U.S. (Eleven million is nonsense — they’ve been claiming that since the 1980s. See Adios, America)
And now, once again, politicians are lobbying for the exact same policy that was a complete failure last time. When it comes to immigration, it’s always Groundhog Day!
We’re told the DACA amnesty will apply only to a very small, discrete group of unbelievably fantastic illegals — who melt Ivanka’s heart by refilling her water glass at Cipriani with such alacrity!

Dreams, Delusions and Duplicity

So we have gone from "illegal aliens" to "undocumented workers" to "Dreamers". And Republican voters wonder why they never win anything. Sixty years ago, the US Government was happy to call its "comprehensive immigration reform" plans "Operation Wetback", and President Eisenhower was willing to use the term in public. Now we expect jelly-spined finger-in-the-windy legislators to stand firm against "Dreamers". Yeah, right. As for Europe, if Chancellor Merkel and the EU start calling their legions of sturdy young Muslim "refugees" Dreamers, it's game over.
Okay, if it's unreasonable to deport a fine upstanding colossus of the Democrats such as Dick Durbin, could we at least deport Orrin Hatch? A former Republican presidential candidate, he was all over the airwaves yesterday claiming to be tough on border enforcement ...but only once we've legalized all these "Dreamers". Presumably it was some obscure staffer of Durbin's, acting at the behest of the lobbyists, who came up with the beguiling name "DREAM Act". But Hatch might have understood the concession he was making. The sentimentalization of public affairs that accompanies these acronymic abominations is embarrassing to a self-governing republic in and of itself. But it's especially damaging on this particular question - because mass unskilled immigration is the biggest issue facing the western world right now, and that grotesque sentimentalization embodied by hogwash like "Dreamers" makes mature, rational discussion of public policy impossible. Republican voters have minimal expectations of the likes of Orrin Hatch, but they had at least the right to expect he would have grasped something that basic.
Ending Illegally Implemented DACA and Making America Great Again
By Robert Carbery

. . .
Let’s remember the fact that Trump is giving Congress a six month window to act on this issue. However, as a senior White House aide said of chief of staff John Kelly who, “thinks Congress should’ve gotten its act together a lot longer ago,” it seems we are past the point of discussion. It is time for the 800,000 children turned adults here illegally to lose their legal status. We cannot continue to bend over backwards for those who are breaking the law here in America. It is time to put America First and never look back.
. . .
Trump’s decision to delay the implementation of ending DACA for six months shows he is at least aware of the moral and political complexity of this issue. But his desire to make America great again burns out all others. America is made up of citizens of this country who have come here legally. It is not cruel or unusual to deal with illegal actions regarding immigration in any way. It is right and must be done.
Obama should have, as a former constitutional law professor, known that it was Congress’, not the president’s, duty to write and decide immigration laws. I’m sure he did actually. However, his propensity for being THE story and making his OWN decisions led him to installing this monstrosity of a program legalizing a segment of an illegal population. Trump should not be criticized for returning this power back to the people.
