The credit card
Almost all of the illegal who cross the border are coming here for a better life.
If you were in their shoes, you would do the same.
For a better life you need a job.
The people who are coming across the Rio Grande River know they will be employed before their clothes dry.
What needs to be done and will probably take about two years to implement is to bring social security cards into the 21st. century. Instead of that thin piece of card broad disintegrating in your wallet replace it with plastic with a chip and a strip.
I purchase something or a service person come over and swipes my card within minutes I receive an e-mail the vendors name and the amount.
Before an employer hire someone he will have to scan the employee's card. Also forget the $1,000 fine, make it 15K for each person working illegally and that not only border crosser that is also people working off the books. Whomever reports this activity will receive 1/2 of the total fine, even if it's an illegal. This is not a foreign concept; Texas is using a reward system like this to control abortions.
In the future these cards can replace a number of cards, it will even let you vote at your local ATM.
You take away the lure of employment and illegal immigrants will slow down to a trickle.
