But I still can't blame the poor immigrants who are taken advantage of by these companies for "stealing" jobs from Americans. These people are living a hard life and are just trying to make it.

I'm all for them being allowed to sue their employer for all all overtime and legal wages they didn't have --- plus get the employer to reimburse the taxpayers for any costs these illegals incurred. Let them take a nice big chunk of money back with them.

I own my own business and years ago the State Government here was lax about collecting the Sales Tax I collect from my customers, they rarely issued any fines for being late, they did mush like creditors do, they sent several warning letters before doing anything about being delinquent.

Now they issue a 10% penalty if you're even one day late, and force you to pay a high interest rate until the balance is paid in full.

Needles to say, the amount of delinquency on forwarding the sales Tax collected in my State has reduced to nearly zero :-)
