Oh, please! We hire police to track down criminals. Would you fine/imprison some business owner who turns out to have hired a bank robber or a child molester? It's not reasonable to expect a farmer, etc., to be come a document expert. We have huge numbers of government employees whose JOB it is to rid us of these people, and they don't do it They are the ones who should be strung up.

Oh, please, yourself. It's not illegal to have hired either a bank robber or child molester (I assume once they've served their sentences). It "is" illegal to hire "undocumented Americans".
"It's not reasonable to expect a farmer, etc., to be come a document expert."
OH, PLEASE. If you had even a remote clue to the amount of federal documentation ANY farmer has to go through to understand the various federal agricultural programs, you wouldn't make that statement. Verifying the legality of workers is trivial next to THAT load.
"We have huge numbers of government employees whose JOB it is to rid us of these people, and they don't do it They are the ones who should be strung up."
And if the EMPLOYERS don't provide the information, how are those government employees ever going to know??? Don't be stupid.
