Quote from Lucrum:
Why, you using them for child labor?
Only way to track who is illegal is to track who is legal. Should there be one national database listing all approved persons in this country. Still does not protect you from fake ID's or Government incompetence maintaining the database.Quote from CaptainObvious:
I'll use your 2nd amendment slippery slope argument. Today you want my bazooka, tomorrow you'll be coming after my 12 gauge I use to hunt ducks.
Today it's just some guy came by and offered to mow my lawn, I didn't need to check him out for a lousy 1 hour job. Tomorrow it's a crew on my roof laying down shingles. Hey, it was only a couple days work. Next day there's a crew framing houses. No problem, it's a small subdivision. Next week its a guy with a small job shop hiring 5 or 6 guys to run a punch press. No biggie, who wants to run a punch press for a living. And here we are. They planted their roots mowing the lawn, and now they're in manufacturing plants across the country. I can take you into any number of small manufacturing and fab shops throughout Chicago and show you 80-90% of their employees are Mexican, and about 100% are here on the sly. They're paying 10, maybe 11 bucks an hour, no benefits, horrible working conditions. It's wage suppression and exploitation for profit, and it's inexcusable.

Maybe it can be done, but there are many reasons the Government does not want to do it. Economic and mostly political.
If the Democrats tried to impose some National database used to find illegals they would lose the Hispanic vote overnight.Quote from OPTIONAL777:

If suddenly Business lost the ability to hire low wage illegals, they can survive by raising prices to offset the higher wages.
Quote from Mercor:
As I said several times before. How does a business find out who is illegal?
Why does the Government seem not wanting to build a fence or provide help to its business community to identify illegals?
