Employers are being targeted [0]. It also can be difficult to successfully prosecute, especially when one can maintain a clean separation between the labor and the enterprise (agriculture is like this with Farm Labor Contractors).
That said, I wish they would step up the prosecutions. It's critical to hammer away at economic incentives for illegal migration.
very rarely, you see even americans being abducted at their work place but the company owners are mostly left alone. If employing illegal immigrants was that risky, it would drop dramatically. This isn't about illegal immigration, it is about hatred and cruelty. Native born american citizens are rotting in prison without so much as seeing a judge or a lawyer, if you defend that, you are a traitor. If you can at least disavow that, I can consider that your argument is in good faith.
Your link shows the company was fined. what a joke. americans are rotting in prison and the company is fined? why the employers not in jail next to the illegal immigrants. Who was in a better position to obey the law? the wealthy employer who screwed over american workers by hiring illegal migrants, or the desperate migrant trying to earn an honest living?
I hope you reflect on your moral character before defending these people.
You seem very angry. Why don't you reread my post and reflect on the fact that we actually agree?
Hiring illegal labor can be difficult to prosecute, much like straw man gun purchases can be difficult to prosecute. In both cases I feel we should try much harder.
Removing the economic incentives for illegal migration is the only way to make a massive dent in it.
That said, I wish they would step up the prosecutions. It's critical to hammer away at economic incentives for illegal migration.
