Maybe the people who hire the illegal immigrants should be punished.

I agree. That is definitely a serious problem. So, do you support "Sanctuary Cities"? You know, the places where ICE is thwarted in their efforts to grab up those illegal workers and employers?

exactly Susie. IF the law was actually applied to the hiring of illegal aliens/immigrants there would be no problem.

the problem is the law IS NOT being applied to those business and corporations on an consistent basis.

having said that,...

It's About Time – Employer Hit by $96 Million Penalty for Hiring Illegal Aliens
By David North
September 29, 2017

Asplundh, the tree-trimming company, has been hit by a $96 million penalty for hiring (and rehiring) illegal alien workers. According to the federal prosecutors it is the largest payment ever levied in an immigration case.

What Are the Penalties for Hiring an Illegal Immigrant?

Hiring illegal immigrants can lead to many severe penalties, such as:

- Criminal and civil fines
- Loss of business licenses
- Most fines are broken down to the following:

First offenders can be fined $250-$2,000 per illegal employee.
For a second offense, the fine is $2,000-$5,000 per illegal employee.
Three or more offenses can cost an employer $3000-$10,000 per illegal employee. A pattern of knowingly employing illegal immigrants can mean extra fines and up to six months in jail for an employer.
This does not include “harboring” illegal immigrants, or employing ten or more illegal immigrants in one year. Harboring an illegal immigrant can lead to ten years of prison time.

Last Sunday we went to Market Basket for some grub. Almost all the workers were young people of color. Where were all the white kids?

Probably playing video games in their parents basement. Those minimum paying jobs aren't good enough for those kids. These are the jobs those kids are taking. The jobs that the privileged white kids don't want.

If it wasn't for those kids working, who would stock those shelves? You?

Same at Dunkin Donuts, Subway, McDonald's and most other fast food outlets.

So, bullshit!

Susie, I'm not talking to you but just trying to reinforce your opinion.
