Is this a serious question you're asking when were talking about trying to deter migrants?
When companies are waving their arms just across the boarder saying come work at Pizza Hut, Sonic, Target, come build homes and commercial office space for us, come, come , come. You think that's helpful?
its a known better life, because its a highway to where companies are hiring. Look at all the interviews with undocumented migrants, there's often something in common and that's that they know they can find work. Because we are waiting with open arms for them to come work for us.
Want to do something positive, start making the fines for the use of undocumented workers massive, financially crippling, and enforce it. But the trade off is everything is going to cost significantly more. Lets face it, its cheap labour, if those crops need to be harvested by a USA born or a Canadian born, foods going to be expensive, its going to cost more to stock shelves, commercial real-estate will cost more per square foot resulting in higher lease rates meaning the service or product costs more in the end, etc.
problem is a lot of those big corps sway left the higher up the corp ladder you go, so it'll be hard to convince them. anecdotally, even around where I'm at (seattle/tacoma area), the smaller businesses are the ones who don't wanna go through all the illegal paperwork stuff and want us citizens only
reminds me of this one girl i matched with last year. she's undocumented and was looking to get a sponsorship from a company (software dev, specifically java programmer). she couldn't apply to any of the smaller companies, i even helped her a bit looking. there was a ton of jobs too! all because they don't want to deal with that. but the faangs love it. her time ran up i believe and never got a faang interview and she had to go back to her home country
