It’s not like we stopped enforcing the laws. There was just an administrative shuffling of the various agencies. The Immigration and Naturalization Service and the Border Patrol (which were under the Justice Dept) and the United States Customs Service (which was under the Treasury Dept) were transformed into Citizenship and Immigration Services, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and Customs and Border Protection (which are all under the Dept of Homeland Security).
Once you get all those dirty, murdering, raping illegals out, tell me:
How many tons of strawberries are you going to pick?
Lettuce?
Apples?
Who is going to mow your lawn for $10?
The press went wild a couple of years ago when the [del]Lone Ranger[/del] Immigration Agents raided a slaughterhouse in Iowa - between the ones they caught and the ones who were afraid to come back, that plant lost 50% of its workforce.
Very few businesses can lose 50% of workforce AND continue operating.
The kicker: this shop was one of the largest sources of Kosher/Halal* meats in the country.
It was also about the only employer of any size near that town. The proper, white people were torn…

- you don’t want to know. It has to do with those murderous commie Muslims.
I don’t know what your soucres are, but mine say the crime rate has been steadly dropping since a peak in 1991, and in 2015 was the lowest number of raw crimes since 1973.
The strawberry, apple and lettuce farmers will have to pay higher wages to their now legal workers and it’ll cost me more to buy their products.
The lawncare services company will have to pay higher wages to their now legal workers and my lawn will cost me $15 to have mown. Or I could just keep doing it myself until my kids get old enough to do it (grow faster kids dammit).
The kosher/halal slaughterhouse will have to pay higher wages to their now legal workers and their prices will have to rise. Sucks to lose 50% of your workforce, try obeying the law next time.
None of these seem particularly insurmountable obstacles.

That’s precisely my point. Sorry if I was too opaque.
DT railing about our lawless, violent country was utter nonsense, but it plays to the terrified heartland.
