All you'd have to do to dry up illegal immigration is to only allow tax deductions for the wages paid to people who can clear eVerify. Let the business owners pay taxes at THEIR rate on the money they hire undocumented workers with.

I'm a bit surprised that no state has tried this. Years ago, the SCOTUS shot down states making their own immigration laws, saying that was reserved for the federal government, but each state is permitted to make their own tax laws.
