I don't disagree with any of that. I'm saying that enforcing fines or imprisonment for criminal employers of illegal immigrants is the only way to fix it.

I live in Florida. Border control routinely rounds up undocumented citrus workers and deports them. Nobody ever punishes the farms that employ them. If they punished the farms, it would change things.

I never see anybody push against those employers. I think it's because those complaining are more aligned with the businesses.

Oh certainly --that is where enforcement should focus on. Just like they do in China and Japan. Fine the employers and make them pay the ticket back to the worker's home country --forged papers, no excuse, get better vetting.
