re: White guy in Louisiana arrested for smuggling foreign labor for work here

This is why your border games won’t work. If you want to control or stop the uncontrolled movement of labor across the border, you must understand the reality (not the propaganda) that there are interests here who profit from the activity. Control employment here and the incentive to come dries up.

Migrant labor laws exist to protect labor here. Link the border policies to labor law here and we can make progress.
