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.
No it isn't. There is already a database where employers can voluntarily check documents against names/ssns/etc.
Funny how the "voluntary" part means it never gets used by employers.
Information doesn't match, the person is given a chance to prove who they say they are. If they can't, it is illegal to hire them. Provide the employer with a confirmation number only IF the information matches.
Employers who don't want to play ball do the perp walk.
It's funny how many people are so intent on saying it can't be done. The US wouldn't be a country with that attitude. Maybe they should all move to France?
Or could it be there is an, ahem "personal interest" in keeping the pipeline open by the defeatists?
Do you think juries would have a different attitude toward employers of illegals today? I do.
