My first post to you on this subject posited that an acquittal, if made expensive enough, can still be used to create a disincentive to hire illegals.

Ah. I see now. You wish to replicate Janet Reno's strategy against firearms ownership: if you harrass enough people, then they will surrender their guns more readily.

Empowering government to engage in pure harrassment is a pretty stupid idea, OK?

Thus, even if your juries that must be out there somewhere (I trust you have evidence other than your bare assertion) do not convict, it is not the case that nothing has been accomplished.

Look in newspapers from 1987-88. Most probably would not devote extensive coverage to cases ending in acquittal, but there ought to be a column-inch or so reporting the fact.

If you think that hiring illegal aliens is akin to legal gun ownership, you again display your facility with logic. Bringing suits against people who violate the law is not harassment. IT the job of a U.S. Attorney.

And you point back twenty years for some possible evidence. You cannot extrapolate what a jury would do today based on what happened two decades ago.
