They'll leave if the jobs dry up

And the jobs will dry up if the government enforces its own rules and/or writes some tougher ones on hiring illegal immigrants.

Some of it will be driven underground into a black jobs market, but in general the amount of paperwork required to do business will, in and of itself, reveal shady hiring practices.

It would also be relatively inexpensive to amend the Constitution to cease the practice of anchor babies. Birth tourism among Chinese women continues to grow.
