It is already illegal to hire them. However, the Bush administration refuses to properly enforce those laws. We don't need new laws, we only need to enforce the current laws. If an employer hid a few thousand dollars from the IRS, they'll track it down and hunt him down years later. They'll get it back with stiff penalties too. However, if the same employer hires a few thousand criminal invaders, he can just keep on doing it. If he gets caught, he gets a slap on the wrist and doesn't have to pay anyone back. Look at the interior enforcement record since Bush took office:

True.. Actually it is a crime to NOT enforce them.. The non enforcers should be indited.. The non enforcment of immigration laws is of secondary importance to the NoN enforcement of voter fraud laws.. Massive wide spread voter fraud is a non issue to current federal republican officials..
Foggy Bottom stinks.. its not just the democrats anymore..
The drain field is backed up.. its very hard to flush a Senator.. or President.. After all the known reasons to flush Clinton he was indited or accused of/for a sex crime..
Foggy Bottom pretty much is beginning to SMELL like Vinnie Fosters casket..
