Actually it is the clerks who sell beer and cigarettes to under-aged kids who end up getting arrested (at least where I live) and the "owners" are free to just hire someone else. Large and small employers/owners should be solely responsible for hiring illegals and severely punished and fined. Won't happen, though.

The owners are NOT free to sell someone else. They face fines, penalties and can be shut down and lose their license for repeated offenses.
