Yep and according to how Judge nicmarlo interprets immigration law Tancredo is a felon. See reason and logic. It is a conservative trait. You may wish to try it sometime.
No, see, you got this all wrong. You and sinkspur claimed that you knowingly hired illegals. And then not only bragged about it, but encourage others to do that. That's commission of felonies, something I wouldn't do, brag about doing, or encourage others to do. Why? Because it's against the law.
Federal Law--Section 8 USC 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv)(b)(iii)
"A person (including a group of persons, business, organization, or local government) commits a federal felony when she or he: assists an illegal alien she/he should reasonably know is illegally in the U.S. or who lacks employment authorization, by transporting, sheltering, or assisting him or her to obtain employment, or encourages that illegal alien to remain in the U.S. by referring him or her to an employer or by acting as employer or agent for an employer in any way, or knowingly assists illegal aliens due to personal convictions.
ILLEGAL HIRING:
Section 1324a states: "Any person who knowingly hires/harbors/transports any illegal alien is guilty of a felony punishable by 10 years jail + $2000 fine per illegal alien + forfeiture of the vehicle or property used to commit the crime".
"An employer has constructive knowledge that an employee is an illegal unauthorized worker if a reasonable person would infer it from the facts.(10) Constructive knowledge constituting a violation of federal law has been found where (1) the I-9 employment eligibility form has not been properly completed, including supporting documentation, (2) the employer has learned from other individuals, media reports, or any source of information available to the employer, that the alien is unauthorized to work, or (3) the employer acts with reckless disregard for the legal consequences of permitting a third party to provide or introduce an illegal alien into the employer’s work force.(11) Knowledge cannot be inferred solely on the basis of an individual’s accent or foreign appearance. Actual specific knowledge is not required. For example, a newspaper article stating that ballrooms depend on an illegal alien workforce of dance hostesses was held by the courts to be a reasonable ground for suspicion that unlawful conduct had occurred.(12)ARTICLE 100(10)8 CFR 274a.1(l).
(11)8 CFR 274a.1(l)(1).

Section 100.10 Criminal solicitation in the second degree.
A person is guilty of criminal solicitation in the second degree when, with intent that another person engage in conduct constituting a class A felony, he solicits, requests, commands, importunes or otherwise attempts to cause such other person to engage in such conduct.Criminal solicitation in the second degree is a class D felony.
In addition to the federal statutes....state laws and local ordinances controlling fair labor practices, workers compensation, zoning, safe housing and rental property, nuisance, licensing, street vending, and solicitations by contractors may also apply to activities that involve illegal aliens.
