Actually, the Bush administration has been taking a more active role in the prosecution of employers who hire illegals. Where have you been?
Sources, please.
I know President Bush's administration has been taking a more active role than some of the administrations previous, but in the 1950s-1970s it was very common for businesses to be checked for illegal workers (immigration raids) Raids have recently been stepped up, but are still infrequent compared to the past.
I'll tell you where I have been, I have been living on the border for the past 35 years.
I'll also tell you I am not one that blames Bush for all the problems on the border. As far as I am concerned the Carter Administration made changes that led to the mess we now have with illegal immigration and every President since Carter has either ignored the problem, added to the problem, or not done enough to solve the problem. I count Bush as one who has not done enough to solve the problem, not the cause. I also think in some ways Bush has added to the problem with his attitude towards Mexico.
