won't stop illegal immigration but it will greatly slow it down. Add in Trump allowing ICE to do their job and you'll see the stream of illegals going down to a tiny fraction of what it is today. The ones there now can move to California if they want to stay in the country.
I agree with talking a strong stance against II
My only problem is that I don't think Trump does enough to punish the businesses perpetuating this behavior.
I get that II do jobs that middle class don't want. But its unrealistic that we can't get Americans to do those jobs at $8 to $12 an hour.

The problem is businesses like tomato farmers.
I know several smaller growers in central Alabama, keep in mind, these guys still have over a million plants each that produce tomatoes multiple times a year.
When Alabama locked down on illegals they had to scramble to find workers. Some of them pooled resources and bussed dozens of inner city guys looking for jobs up to pick tomatoes.
For every box of tomatoes picked, a worker is paid $2. Illegals averaged $150-$200 per day.
The inner city guys over the course of 2 weeks averaged $12 per day.
