Hit'em Where It Hurts

What is your obession with "brown people"? You get white illegals as well, not to mention you have a "brown" President.

I'm a foaming at the mouth racist

Even better - we can deport the brown people and punish those that employ them!

Why waste the rescources on persuing the fringe poor? This will work 10x better for 1/10 of the cash. Sure if the land on your lap, send'em home but why waste gold for pewter?

Good grief.

Bolton sucks.

Excellent. Laws are for everybody, including businesses.

One employs an illegal to gain an unfair advantage over one's competitors. To avoid social legislation, and because one prefers workers without rights.
Or occasionaly to help some people out...

It's funny how left and right impulses are so often reversed on this subject - the right supports granting powers to the government for more regulation and interference with the free market, and the left defends the right of businesses to be above the law, just because this is about brown people.

My favorite part is how the discourse is always about how the immgrant is undercutting wages when in reality it's about the buisness sticking it to the tax man, that's why this goes on. Not becuase Jose works for a dime but becuase John want's to screw Uncle Sam

And now we will take his buisness from him. Excellent and fair play IMO. It's about time the government found its teeth.

Having dealt with it, it's really hard to fight and companies aren't always to blame. It's identidy fraud mostly, the person who does the working isn't the one you hired, and it's really hard to see the difference. You wouldn't believe how nasty it can be I could have saved a life or two if I had it noticed earlier, there are people who make money with accidents mostly Nigerian gangs

@Fragony, read a bit further: this is about businesses which knowingly hire illegal immigrants.

One area this law wont solve is with the self employed which is the most likely route for immigrant employment, of course if an immigrant is self employed then they prob should be lauded for creating there own job, having said that it's good that this loophole is to be closed and kept closed.
