If I am not mistaken, there are strict penalties for employers who hire illegals in the proposed legislation. I would be out there with signs demanding this if that is the case...:) So then it becomes an employer problem and not an illegal problem complelty correct?

It is already illegal to hire illegals. The problem is no enforcement. We're told the amnesty is unavoidable because we just don't have the resources to ferret out every employer who has hired illegals. At the same time we're told that this program is different -- that we will now go out there and do the enforcement we don't have the resources to do, which makes the amnesty necessary in the first place. Really inspires confidence, doesn't it?

Great! Thats all we mostly need. Now we just need to take them off of govt handouts and we can throw the rest of the proposal out.
