> [@DrDeth](#): > > … There’s a fence there already, primarily for drug interdictions. [Sort of](https://www.usatoday.com/border-wall/us-mexico-interactive-border-map/). It could be a lot more fence-like and less vehicle-barrier-only / open-passage-like in a lot of places. ---

> [@HurricaneDitka](#): > > Are we going to deport the ones that E-verify identifies as here illegally? Technically if those people cannot obtain employment, the opposite problem would occur. They would have to go to another country to seek work. INS would need to provide an 800 number to call for that would result in a taxpayer provided taxi ride to the airport and a return flight to their country of origin. No need for cages or even jails of any sort for illegal immigrants (unless they committed a different crime obviously). Those jail cells would be used occasionally to punish hiring managers and executives caught violating the law. And you could start a bounty program - green card and 10-100k cash for every employer of illegal immigrants you report. If there’s not much available work in the US there wouldn’t be coyotes and crowds rushing the border and cutting holes in the present fencing. De facto the USA is PAYING for illegal immigration to happen. Employers of illegal immigrants always were the real criminals.
