Its not congress' job to enforce our laws.

It's up to Congress to fund the laws that are already on the books, and in most of the cases, it is up to the federal government to enforce the laws. There's a fence, but it doesn't cover the entire border. It's 20-feet high, but as one LEO put it, "they use a 21-ft ladder." It's up to the government to patrol that border. The government has double and tripled the number of border patrol officers in the last decade or so.

Who is going to check every single business in the U.S. to see if they are or are not hiring illegal workers? Who is going to check every household who uses a gardner or a nanny or a maid to make sure they are citizens? The local cops? Who will pay for all those extra local cops? The federal government? Get Congress to pass the funding for that one. Get the government to find those 12-to-20 million people or to pay others to find them. Any idea what that would cost?
