“Punishing employers who hire illegals is punishing an accessory to an illegal act more harshly than the one who committed the illegal act in the first place.”

Here Sowell and I part ways.

Hiring illegal labor is a crime in and of itself. It is also the crime of origination - the crime that gives economic incentive to all the other crimes. If there was no market for illegal labor via the CRIME of the employer - there would be no crime of illegal entry and occupancy.

Moreover the best way to get rid of millions of illegal immigrants is to prevent them from working in America. When the jobs go, so will they.
