    The story changes changes if employers face federal criminal charges and hard time for hiring unauthorized immigrant labor and if people are rewarded for reports that lead to charges.

      It’s harder to crack down on moving targets. Contractors and landscapers stop at a deli, hold up four fingers, and four guys jump in the back of the truck. I see it all the time. Once in a while, ICE comes through and the guys aren’t waiting outside that spot anymore. A few months later, back to business as usual.

          I understand your suggestion. I’m saying it’s tougher to catch an independent contractor, landscaper, or private restaurant owner that uses unauthorized immigrant labor than it would be a corporation that has a paper trail.

          Personally, I’m not for targeting anyone. I think we need streamlined immigration reform to balance out our birth rate decline, rather than forcing women to have unwanted children. But what do I know. lol
