She's 100% right on this one. This problem would be self correcting if the government would simply put teeth into the laws. No employer wants to lose his business no matter how cheap illegal labor is. Without willing employers, illegals would have no incentive to come to the US, unless they really wanted to accept the values and ideals of this country.

"All they would have to do is require U.S. employers to check the legal status of all employees and impose stiff sanctions — including multimillion-dollar fines and prison time — on employers who flout the law.

The point is that U.S. employers are ADDICTED to and HOOKED on cheap labor to the detriment of our Country and 298 million Americans!

Concerning those "employers", certainly you recall the Milo Minderbender character in "Catch 22".

There are many more folks like him than you would believe ~ that's why we ALL recognized the character and his attitude of immorally aggressive invincibility.

"Without willing employers"

I don't disagree but it strikes me as "funny" that we're asking business to do what our goobermint has refused to do.

If securing the borders isn't one of the most fundamental aspects of goobermint I don't know what is. May they fry in oil.
