About illegal immigrants

How come we focus so much on the wall and never those that employ them. Instead of threatening jail on those that put a bottle of water in the desert just penalize the employment of illegal immigrants. 10 years of jail for each person you employ.

Including Trump. Republicans don’t want to do away with illegal immigration, because it would cost them money. They just want to use it as a boogie man to scare people into voting for the Republicans who will save the good white people from the evil brown people. Bigotry is a great tool to motivate voters because it drives them to act emotionally, and emotional people are easy to control.
