I was only kidding, but we should definately treat them as the criminals they are. Another great strategy would be to enforce the employer laws. How many employers of a Burger King would even contemplate hiring an illegal if their franchise was taken if so much as one illegal was found working there?

You know, of course, that these people have papers. And, unfortunately, restaurant managers aren't expert forgery detectors. They may be good, but they're not experts. And I believe the law doesn't have the expectation that they be so. Also, the managers can be accused of discrimination if they try to avoid hiring "documented" immigrants. So how'd you like to be the prosecutor on that case?

That would put employers in fear of hiring anyone with an accent. If the employer made a good faith effort to determine the empoyee's status and the "papers" are in order, no foul. If the employer knowingly hires illegals, take his business.
