Exactly. If you replace the door to the pantry, but still leave the food exposed, don’t be shocked when you turn on the lights in the pantry. Workplace enforcement could start immediately by mandating e-Verify. All the people hired to process dreamer deferrals could be used to handle the remediation of the additional appeals.
I wonder how enforcement would be applied against those who privately hire what I call "the little men" (or women). I say "little men" because they are all almost uniformly small in stature, dress in a hoodie + cap combination, and carry a backpack. They all look as if they are perpetually in a state of sneaking across the border. They have a furtive look to them. I see them walking, in the early morning, in well-to-do residential neighborhoods. Who employs these people? Are they paid-under-the-table groundskeepers/maintenance men/nannies, being paid less than the minimum wage, with no bothersome hiring paperwork?
I am guessing that most of this domestic labor is illegal. U.S. Customs had a port director caught a few years ago hiring an illegal as her house maid. She was even telling the woman not to attempt to go back to her home country for fear of not being able to return. The port director’s subordinates warned her about hiring an illegal and somebody finally turned her in.
“Who employs these people? Are they paid-under-the-table groundskeepers/maintenance men/nannies, being paid less than the minimum wage, with no bothersome hiring paperwork?”
Ah! The burdensome paperwork and liability involved in hiring a citizen grass-cutter!
Beyond enforcing obligation of contract, perhaps the assorted government offices should just stay out of telling free citizens what has to be in them. What a drag on the economy.
Too many in government do not have to compete or be competent to keep their jobs.
Or this “mistake” could be an aberration.
