I'm sorry, if we all wanted the same thing, there would be lots more prosecutions of the large corporations that hire illegals.

Problem: you want prosecutions. US Attorneys want convictions (i.e., successful prosecutions). They tried this after the 1986 amnesty. Juries refused to convict, despite open-and-shut cases against the employers. Basically, the jurors engaged in jury nullification.

Then I'm sorry, those were some piss poor prosecutions. It's not just the facts but the presentation (i.e. OJ)

Basically, the jurors engaged in jury nullification.

According to the FR Consensus it seems that jury nullification is gooooood unless it's in an immigration case, when it's baaaaaad. Got it.
