I looked at the links. I had seen them before.

Citibank hires an illegal janitor. Bankrupt them.

General Motors hires an illegal parts deliverer. Bankrupt them.

Hilton hires an illegal valet parker. Bankrupt them.

Microsoft hires an illegal mail worker. Bankrupt them.

I don't defend doing nothing. But I certainly don't defend what you're advocating. No rational person can.

A $10,000 fine per illegal won't bankrupt Citibank, GM, Hilton, Microsoft or any other major corporation. Then again, these corporations require BOTH a photo ID and Passport or a Birth Certificate along with a Social Security card. I know, I've worked for a few Fortune 500 companies; and am a fairly high ranking member of management at a Fortune 50. This is status quo; it's nothing new. Microsoft, Cray, Dell, IBM, AMD, Intel, Merc, 3M, ect all want to KNOW who they are employing, and that they are not felons, or here illegally.

But, a Landscaping company that thrives on illegals will be out of business. A company that provides illegals to pick fruit will be out of business, as well as a janitorial company or hotel.

But, if we announce that as of July 1st; Immigration agents will be enforcing the laws already on the books; you can bet the farm that HR will 'review' the payroll at each of these companies that are now flying below the radar. If you hired Jose, and suspected he was illegal; and you knew you could lose your company without demanding proof of legal citizenship; wouldn't you fire him? If the demand for jobs dries up; the illegals will have no choice but to return home, then they can come back legally - with everyone's blessings.

You see, by ignoring the existing fines (already on the books) and ignoring existing Federal crimes, we are encouraging companies to look the other way. This creates jobs, and encourages more illegals to pour across our borders; bringing along with them crime, drugs and other burdens to our society.
