Yeah- the laws on the books say to fine the employers hiring these guys illegally. Fines are nothing to these guys, they save millions a year by hiring illegal aliens instead of Americans and we want to charge them a few thousand in fines. These employers are happy to pay fines all year long, it's no big deal.
I say throw the employers in prison. That should deter a few of these employers.
For years and years, no one has done anything about illegal immigration, that should not stop us from doing something now. Increase the fines and start giving jail time.(believe it or not, that is part of what Bush is proposing) Even if it not strictly enforced, that may scare a few employers and keep them from hiring illegals.
The chump change fines are doing nothing. It's time to add to the fines!
