Transcript
We can solve almost all of the immigration issues with the exception of maybe criminal gangs just by doing basic surveillance asking these businesses to show the pay stubs of the people working for them. And ICE has been doing this. They've already been doing this. You pick the number one employer of illegal aliens, 2.5 million people working construction. You start with the largest construction sites and then you work backwards. Then you start with the largest restaurant and hotel chains and work backwards. This is actually what Steven Miller should do because this would go after the people who are causing the immigration problem. The
people causing this problem are the business owners. They are providing the incentive to come here. According to this LA Times survey, 75% of immigrants come here for better job opportunities. People coming to America illegally are coming here for economic reasons. They are not coming here to commit crimes. They are not coming here to get benefits. That is way down the list.
