Treat illegal employment like they treat tax evasion or OSHA violations. Make it unprofitable so that honest businessmen who follow the law might have a chance to stay in business. As it is now the corrupt who recruit in Mexico have a distinct advantage --- they can pay dirt wages, have taxpayers subsidize their labor costs so they can make a high profit AND put the honest guy out of business.

Oh BTW, I guess you are against Bush relaxing OSHA regulations, since you seem to be fond of that agency.
