Didn't the government go after Enron and the likes? They were big companies. So why wouldn't they go after these other businesses if politically forced too?
They did indeed go after Enron, but the Enron problem is a different animal entirely. Thousands of stock investors were bilked of millions of dollars, ruining many lives almost overnight. It was huge corporate theft... very high profile. Miguel and Pedro doing landscaping isn't high profile and realistically, right now the INS (ICE) doesn't have the resources they need to go after Miguel and Pedro. Unfortunately, I am very skeptical that in his speech tonight the President will discuss allocating the resources to send Miguel and Pedro back home, or even discover that they are here.
