If there is enough manpower in law enforcement to stop speeders or people that run stop lights, the there certainly is enough manpower to monitor employers that break the law.
The Bush Administration doesn't WANT to punish employers who break the law.
It's not all about the money or manpower. Why does Bush refuse to accept the free border patrol the Minutemen are providing? He wishes they didn't exist, and has always referred to them as "vigilantes". What a crying shame.

If we had a workable system, then we could place burden on employers as part of the overall system. If we had a major fence/barrier and all immigration laws were enforced, then I would have no problem with going after employers responsible for hiring illegals. With the border open and other immigration laws being ignored, there really isn't enough manpower to force the employers to comply. LE resources are just spread too thin with the chaos we have now.
If we stopped enforcing all traffic laws for years, and then tried to enforce only speeding/red light violators, without a new system in place we would not have man power for that either.
