It's good that the silly assertion being made by the globalists that "...it is impossible to round up 11 million illegals" is being over-run by the rebuttal that the genuine threat of jail for employers will dry up the labor market for illegals and force them to leave on their own. A genuine threat will require more than the token action taken this week against IFCO.

What happens to "genuine threat of jail for employers" when juries routinely acquit those employers?

It's what turned the 1986 amnesty into a fiasco--US Attorneys brought cases, the cases were tried, and the accused employers were acquitted.

The law makes knowingly employing an illegal alien a felony. But proving beyond reasonable doubt that the employer knowingly employed an illegal alien is damn near impossible.

The "mass round-up" scenario is a straw man used by pro-illegal forces to demagogue the issue. It projects an image of a draconian police state dragging people off the streets and out of their houses while wailing women and crying children look on helplessly. It is a fraud and a lie, just as it is a fraud and a lie for these same enemies of American sovereignty to assert "the immigrant issue" rather than the "illegal" issue.
