It won't matter if a judge eventually orders the border crossers to go home. It won't matter if the border crossers never show up for a hearing. It won't matter if a claim for asylum is proven to be completely bogus. No degree of absconding will make any difference.
None of that will matter because our current "I-9" immigration law ensures that illegal aliens can easily obtain jobs that will support them well enough so they never have to go home -- and because no Administration since Eisenhower's has been willing to run a deportation program vigorous enough to be a credible threat.
[T]he I-9 process created a moral hazard, a system of incentives that enables illegal immigrants to pretend to be legal while employers pretend to believe them." -- Jerry Kammer, LOSING CONTROL.
If all these masses of people being waved through the border found they eventually -- if not immediately -- could not maintain steady employment, most would go back home on their own. In that circumstance, the travesty at the border right now would not be such a permanent threat.
