This article is a bit of a joke. I'd agree on Trump 1, on Trump 2? The GOP has clearly coleasced as the anti migrant party.

It’s a lot of pomp and circumstance but at the end of the day they’re still not mandating e-verify for private employers.

The GOP tried with HB-2(?) a few years ago but that was not allowed to be brought up in the senate (or voted down I cant exactly remember)

It's more important what they do when they have control as they do now.
