Funny you should mention Enron. Swift is owned by a company that has extensive interest in (among other things) energy.
If the feds were serious about this, raids would be conducted so often that they would no longer be front page news. Targets would be the largest employers of illegals in food processing, construction and other industries. Fines would be just this side of extreme and executive imprisonments would be lengthy and commonplace.
In sum, we would eventually get our country back but at the price of short- to intermediate-range economic downturn and loss of investor confidence. It would take statesmen to make such a choice and unfortuntely we don't have any, just short-sighted, main chance politicians.
Solutions to all this will have to come from "we, the people," not government.

I was thinking of Enron because Jeff Skilling began his 24-year sentence here in MN today. I also noticed that a few of the members of Swift's board have a background in energy-related companies.
You are right on all points. If they started prosecuting those in executive positions of these companies, the hiring of illegals would stop, not by those construction companies that have few employees but the corporations would stop hiring them.
