Quote:Manufacturing companies already have some of the most strict regulations out of all the industries. If that's not stopping illegal hiring what will? Service jobs, food preparation, construction especially these are all jobs where it's near impossible to trace down employers, the majority of them are self employed. Find pass legislation making it a felony to hire an illegal for private work. Do you really think regardless of what legislation they pass the majority of people are going to stop and check immigration status before hiring someone to cut their yard, clean their pool, clean their house, change their tires, or buy vegetables and fruits from a stand on the side of the road?

 

The reason illegals get hired is because they're great employees. They work for next to nothing, and if the boss wants them to put in 3 extra hours of overtime off the clock all that they need to do is threaten to call ICE. And the reason for that is because the punishment all goes in the wrong direction. The illegals shouldn't be the ones getting in trouble for trying to get a job and a better life in the USA, it's employers who hire illegals because they don't want to have to pay a fair wage and adhere to workplace regulations that need to go to jail.
