cherokeeprogressive's Journal
Let's say we go after each and every business known to hire undocumented workers, either short term or long term. Let's say we hit them in the pocketbook and take a HUGE percentage of their bottom line. Let's say we send ICE after EVERY employer not randomly, but systematically, looking for any and every undocumented worker they might have in their employ, without regard to race or nationality. Leave no stone unturned.

Let's say we fine them depending on the percentage of undocumented workers they employ. Penalize them according to the percentage of undocumented workers they hire, without a cap. If an employer has a 50% undocumented workforce... the fine is 50% of the bottom line.

Is that an answer to the problem of illegal immigration? If not, why? I'll reiterate... EVERY employer, without regard to race or nationality. Forget SB1070.
