The corporations should wonder if their managers are hiring undocumented people, what other laws are they breaking?

A question that comes to my mind is, “Do you want the company in another country where the us citizen would not be able to get a job, unless relocation, of course, or do they want the company here where the us citizen can get a job, along with the aliens.”

If everyone was treated exactly the same way we could probably reduce the number of people that process these things.

It’s the employers who are the big problem. Those who recruit them need some jail time and those that just hire them need to pay for doing it. Real enforcement of labor laws would be a big help.

If taxes are not being collected, that’s the fault of the employer, not the employee.

2. Make the immigration laws fair and equal for all
3. Crack down on employers who pay slave wages
4. Lay out a course to citizenship for those already in the country that includes fines or a portion of back taxes and a minimum language requirement.

Much more, of course, but basically that’s the way I see it.
