This immigration controversy is a farce. If employers were required to E-Verify, it could solve the problem of those coming here for work.
But, business and business owners are deified in America so it's much easier to attack and demonize the immigrants who accept jobs given by employers.
Plus, there is the added benefit of using white resentment and increasingly black resentment to gin up votes for Republicans or depress votes for Democrats.
For them its a win/win. 1) Provide low wages for businesses and 2) Use the issue to galvanize their base and suppress the black vote.
It's quite clever.
