The Trump administration has a golden opportunity to strike at the root of America's illegal immigration crisis by targeting the employers who create the job magnet drawing millions across our southern border, according to a former top immigration enforcement official.

Jonathan Fahey, who served as Acting Director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), laid out a devastating strategy during Monday's "Alex Marlow Show" that could finally end the decades-long invasion of our homeland.

"Take away the incentives, whether it's employers, you know, you could look at things like banking, you can look at things like" other support systems that enable illegal aliens to live and work in America, Fahey explained.

"You've got to cut off the job magnet. That's what's drawing people here in the first place."

This isn't rocket science, folks. While the Biden regime spent four years rolling out red carpets for illegal border crossers, the real solution was staring us in the face the entire time. Why risk your life crossing dangerous terrain if there's no job waiting for you on the other side?

Fahey's approach represents a strategic shift from purely reactive border enforcement to proactive interior enforcement that could deliver results the American people have been demanding for decades.

Trump's Mass Deportation Promise Gets Strategic Backing

President Trump's pledge to conduct the largest deportation operation in American history just got a major strategic boost from someone who knows exactly how the system works. Fahey's insider knowledge of ICE operations provides a roadmap for dismantling the illegal employment networks that have operated with impunity for far too long.

The former ICE chief's recommendations align perfectly with Trump's "America First" agenda and his promise to prioritize American workers over cheap illegal labor that undercuts wages and steals opportunities from legal residents.

This employer-focused strategy could prove more effective than building walls or hiring more border agents – because it removes the very reason people make the dangerous journey in the first place.

The question now is whether the Trump administration will have the courage to take on the corporate interests and corrupt employers who have profited off illegal labor for decades. Patriots across America are watching and waiting for action.

ABOUT TIME! I've been saying this for years - enforce E-Verify nationwide and watch how fast this problem gets solved.

I work in construction and see this every day. Contractors hiring illegals and undercutting wages for American workers. When will we start holding these employers accountable?

Same thing happening in my industry. It's not fair to legal workers who follow the rules.

Document everything you can and report it. That's the only way change happens.

What kind of penalties are we talking about here? Fines that are just a slap on the wrist won't change anything - we need real consequences.

This makes so much sense. Why haven't we been doing this all along? Hit them where it hurts - their wallets.

As someone who runs a legitimate business and follows all the rules, I'm tired of competing against companies that cheat the system by hiring illegal workers.

Love this approach! Supply and demand - eliminate the demand for illegal labor and you solve the supply problem at the border.

Finally someone gets it! You can't solve the problem by just focusing on the border - you have to go after the companies that create the incentive in the first place.

Exactly! Cut off the jobs and they won't come. It's basic economics.
