" employers and landlords/mortgage companies " are NOT Federal agents and it's NOT their job to enforce immigration laws.
Why don't we all just start stopping others on the street and demanding their papers? (/sarcasm)
"WE ALL" shouldn't have to. It's our government's JOB to enforce our laws. Yeesh.

I want to know if I'm hiring an illegal or not.
I don't want to be part of the problem.
So if I come home and see that I have a broken pipe and water is flooding my house, I should just sit there until a plummer comes? Or do I go to the water main and shut the water off to stop the damage from getting worse, until the plummer can fix it?
Alot of illegals are using FALSE documentation to obtain jobs and buy houses. If you or I were caught using a fake social security number to obtain anything it would be called identity theft, we'd go to jail.
Yes, but it is their job, as it is the job of every law-abiding individual in the country, to comply with the law, or work to change it.
That's the point here - this guy who's facing charges is accused of knowingly and willfully violating the law.
If the law says it's their job, then it's their job. And in this case, it should be.
