stronger documentation requirements paired with monetary inducements. One great suggestion was to not allow deductions of FICA taxes paid if a submission is found to be of an unauthorized worker. Employers would be taxed on those moneys as if they were profit. It adds up to around 15.2% or so that the government would get to keep, and the company would be paying any corporate profits beyond that.

No job site videos required.

Downside is it would only make illegal labor maybe 20% more expensive. An additional fine after a year or so would help.

There are many methods that would work. One problem is that the Biden administration issued many millions of asylum visas, most of which will eventually be denied, meanwhile people can legally work, get medicaid, etc. Maybe 3 million people or more. It's unknown how many years it would take to hear all the cases. 5 years, 10. It was an intentional way to create open borders.
