We don't either. We are constantly deporting undocumented workers. Always have. The trouble is that VAST swaths of our agricultural industry rely on those undocumented workers. Ditto for the hospitality industry.
Want to cut undocumented workers?
1) Create a set of standards for those industries that rely on migrant labor
- including wage requirements and housing requirements that don't follow the "company store" model
2) Create a system to allow those migrant workers to come in legally
3) HEAVILY fine those companies and individuals who hire migrant workers from outside the new system or who do not provide the appropriate wages and required quality of housing.
It kills the whole voter suppression aspect because some cannot afford an ID to vote.
The positioning of this statement is a bit of a non-sequitur. Requiring a PAID ID to vote is a violation of anti poll tax laws. If a state requires an official ID, they should provide one - gratis.
