Actually, I think we are in agreement in that those who knowingly hire illegals should have the book thrown at them. I'm all for crackdowns, heavy fines, and--even--jail time for offenders. I'm just a little tired of it being such a one side or the other issue. Breaking the law is breaking the law. Still, it seems the right (or, at least, the Right's talking heads) say crackdown on illegals and the left (or, like above, their talking heads) say crackdown on the employers. I say, do both.
