There are some things happening in the federal government that aren't particularly publically discussed. It appears that there is a ramping up of employing specific skills to address the immigration situation. These are very good jobs, very good.
The Dept of Homeland Security is actively hiring mid-level attorneys for postings in all establish location control points along the border and for 15 new points inland. They have an open list of 140 positions to fill within the next two years..
The US Dept of Agriculture is recruting from the state depts of agriculture for investigators, primarily those with food stamp fraud backgrounds to come to positions throughout the US as investigators of agricultural companies to review legitimacy of workers. These people are accountants with street smarts.Since most ag departments have seen there state fod stampprograms go to te use of timed debit cards instead of negotiable paper "money" They are looking to apply their skills in the direction of auditing companies employee records and tracking down mis-information.
My husband as an administrative law judge has been recruited for the following position to have begun in May or September. Although he opted out at this time, they left the door open since the program is expanding at the end of this hiring phase of 3-4 years into 15 additional cities not presently being staffed - to more inland centers than there are at present. Here is the recently posted description:

facsimile inquiries or updates will not be accepted. All applications received

It seems fairly apparent that movement is being made toward a program of identifying both non-compliant businesses and individuals immigrants. Ramping up like this can't be considered as going against any congressional action or civil will because it can be eploained as departmental personnel expansion as a reaction to the need for better oversight in more places.
Just food for thought. Here in Cleveland we don't see the Mexican laborer - they aren't doing lawn services, nor are they in factories, not on any building sites, restaurants maybe, but I have only heard of one. So it must be well hidden. I think there will eventually be an amnesty program, a visiting worker program which originates in Mexico - and unfortunately a wall.
The Mexican election will be a major factor. JMHO
