Look, if Repugs really wanted to end illegal immigration--they could. But to do it they'd have to target demand not supply. IOW, Repugs would be going after all the businesses who love undocumented workers because it keeps their labor and overhead costs down. But, no. Repugs won't target businesses--better to go after some poor brown-skinned guy who is only hoping to eke out a living for him and his family.
