During a radio interview with Breitbart host and former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling on Wednesday, Rep. Steve King (R-IA) promoted his idea for a tax bill amendment that would both punish business owners who hire undocumented immigrants and crack down on immigration itself.

“Talk to me about this,” Schilling said, quoting from King’s New IDEA Act, which was first introduced back in January. “‘Denying tax deductions for wages and benefits paid to or on behalf of illegal workers.’ You’re looking at what, almost a quarter trillion dollars over a decade?”

Sounds like a good idea on paper, but would be a nightmare to enforce...
