We need to start arresting the people who employ illegals as a cheap workforce…

How about they get put under onerous, expensive "consent decrees"?

That'd be fun!

When it’s time, tell me their punishment and I might be happy. Arrest isn’t good enough anymore.

does that include maids and yard guys?

The thing that hits home with me about this is what personally affected me. The stink of the Obama administration brought a lot of division into this country, some which was there but not overwhelming. I my case his transportation head worked with large trucking companies and brokers to disrupt the industry by forcing out the smaller truck companies. This would enhance the bigger companies margins. The guise was to make it tougher for smaller companies to stay profitable. Regulations made forced 25 thousand companies out the first quarter ( month actually). What got me was I had a driver who for 7 years worked without one issue but was from a Caribbean country. He had all the paperwork correct, passed the fed background check and drove without incidents. He decided to leave his wife and in spite she reported him as using another’s information all those years. All his taxes that were taken out was sent in without any problems as was his yearly filings both for me and him. Well it sparked an investigation into him obviously but into me as well. I ended up with huge problems that along with a 2010 CSA trucking specific laws and release of investigation on SAFER results to insurance companies ( later found to be illegal) made it impossible for me to get insurance. Some of those new regulations included that I could not have ownership nor manage a trucking company, known as a Chameleon Law. It took a my 35 year old company down to ground level basically overnight. Then came the flooding of county with illegals and trucking companies as well as other businesses hiring them with government ignoring. If everyone of these nasty MF’ers in democrat party took ill it wouldn’t bother me at all. I wouldn’t dance on their respective graves but only because I wouldn’t want their dirt on my shoes

The absurdity is punishing companies that use these individuals that were allowed into the country by the elected politicians/officials. Seems to me that the politicians should be held accountable as opposed to the business owner that was told it was o.k. to hire these individuals. Once again, the politicians have convinced and brainwashed people to put the blame downstream when they are the ones dumping the waste upstream.

THIS. Like the HB1 change, make it incredibly expensive if you get caught with illegals, and all of a sudden, no one will hire them. Without jobs and benefits, they all go home. The solution is literally that easy.
