First, it doesn't need to be an either-or situation. You can crack down on both employers and illegals and get the job done twice as fast.

Second, jobs are a main reason they come here, but not the only one. 2 others are benefits (welfare, food stamps, etc) and so that their kids can be born American. We'd need to remove those 2 "lollipops" as well. (Hint: the Supreme Court has never ruled on whether the children of illegals who are born here are citizens or not, and the law says that you must be here and "under the jurisdiction of the United States", which IMO should exclude those who sneak in illegally).

Finally, let me point out that the law was amended and clarified... "lawful contact" was changed to “lawful stop, detention or arrest.” And it was reinforced that race may not be used to determine "reasonable suspicion".
