-—and if the employer of an illegal went to jail about the same time his company went bankrupt from fines the “Illegal Immigrant” problem would end——
Well, we don’t really want to destroy businesses and hurt the US economy in our effort to get rid of illegal immigrants. But we should provide real disincentives for employers.
I know people who would play Russian roulette (once) for a million dollars. There is only a 1-in-6 chance that they won’t collect.
But put 5 bullets in the gun? And offer only $10,000? Not many would take that deal.
You don’t have to jail the employer or bankrupt the business. But the act of employing illegal immigrants must become an OBVIOUSLY bad business move. Like Russian roulette with 5 bullets.
