Immigration arrests up 38% nationwide under Trump

In the 100 days since President Trump signed an executive order to enhance immigration enforcement, the arrests of undocumented immigrants is up 38% from the same time period in 2016, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement data released Wednesday.

ICE Acting Director Thomas Homan said his agency is focusing on undocumented immigrants with criminal records, the "bad hombres" that Trump spoke about throughout his presidential campaign. But the data show that the biggest jump in arrests involved undocumented immigrants without a criminal record, a 156% increase from last year.

Between Jan. 22 and April 29, ICE arrested 10,845 people whose immigration violations were the only marks on their record. That's nearly triple the 4,242 people arrested during the same time period in President Barack Obama's final year in office.

[Taxcontrol]

It is a start.  If you want to really crack down and encourage illegals to go home, do the following 3 things.

1) Require all businesses to use e-Verify by not allowing any deductions of any kind unless the business can show that each employee was validated by the e-Verify system.  Businesses that employ illegals would lose all tax deductions for 3 years.  Proof against that tax penalty would be use of the e-verify system.  Second offense would be mandatory jail time for the owners.

2) Allow the IRS to validate information between SSN, e-Verify and state drivers licenses

3) Require a copy of photo id be scanned with IRS filings and with e-Verify filings.
