one would hire them ? Shouldn't we be cutting the head of the snake than the tale ? I know many illegals from Eastern European living happy in Virginia & Maryland States , have great jobs & don't worry at all & believe that they will get amnesty. If u go to a Mall ,u think ur in Russia , Poland or Romania .

Punish Employers first! Use these laws already on the books!

LAW:
1908 Unlawful Employment of Aliens -- Criminal Penalties
1. Title 8 U.S.C. § 1324a(a)(1)(A) makes it unlawful for any person or other entity to hire, recruit, or refer for a fee, for employment in the United States an alien knowing the alien is an unauthorized alien, as defined in subsection 1324a(h)(3).
Subsection 1324a(2) makes it unlawful for any person or entity, after hiring an alien for employment, to continue to employ the alien in the United States knowing the alien is or has become an unauthorized alien with respect to such employment.
Subsection 1324a(f) provides that any person or entity that engages in a "pattern or practice" of violations of subsection (a)(1)(A) or (a)(2) shall be fined not more than $3000 for each unauthorized alien with respect to whom such a violation occurs, imprisoned for not more than six months for the entire pattern or practice, or both. The legislative history indicates that "a pattern or practice" of violations is to be given a commonsense rather than overly technical meaning, and must evidence regular, repeated and intentional activities, but does not include isolated, sporadic or accidental acts. H.R.Rep. No. 99-682, Part 3, 99th Cong., 2d Sess. (1986), p. 59. See 8 C.F.R. § 274a.1(k).A scheme for civil enforcement of the requirements of § 1324a through injunctions and monetary penalties is set forth in § 1324a(e) and § 1324a(f)(2).
In addition, 18 U.S.C. § 1546(b) makes it a felony offense to use a false identification document, or misuse a real one, for the purpose of satisfying the employment verification provisions in 8 U.S.C. § 1324a(b).

Doesnt make any sense does it! I hate to see what will happen when the papers say in big bold black letters "NO AMNESTY FOR ILLEGAL ALEINS!!!" MAn what a crazy day that will be. And to answer your question Yes we should hold employers responsible the faster that is done the faster some action will begin

Agreed. It is pointless to take down the weed but leave the root in place. What you say can only be accomlished if Americans unite and simply state in no uncertain terms that we are a sovreign nation and as such foreigners must recognize laws are in place and abide by them. As to amnesty, that is hog wash. If you are illegal you do not deserve citizenship.

I totally agree,we need to enforce the excising laws and make new stronger ones to stop this madness.
It is a federal felony to hire ,aid,abet and shelter an illegal immigrant.Why aren't theses laws enforced unilaterally,zero tolerance.Big business is our real enemy its the dangling carrot of employment that brings the illegal to this country.I agree and I love your terminology.Cut the head off of the corporate snake.Make employers stop hiring illegal immigrants.

Yes the employers should be held responsible, as well as our own government for not acting to enforce the immigration laws already in place! AMERICAN CITIZENS! WAKE UP NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!

Maybe it's the consumers who should get punished. If people protested companies that hire illegal workers a change may be made. As much as us Americans complain, I don't think we are willing to give up our lifestyles.

Yes and if your caught employing illegals your business license should be suspended and you should have to go to work on the wall they are going to build for the same amount you were paying the illegals you employed.

Yes they should receive heavy fines the first offense and be shut down for the second.All it would take is a few business going down and most the rest would wise up.

No, we should blame the people who are receiving unemployment instead of completing job applications and filling those open positions.
