You see. there are a lot of folks in this country who are engaged in a pattern of bringing in undocumented workers. illegal workers. engaging in what I call very. very exploitive conduct. I think there needs to be some criminal sanction on the books. There needs to be some sort of criminal sanction on the books or else the fines that we have got here may be nothing comparedyou know. it is just a cost of doing business to have a thousanddollar fine in some cases. I am not saying this is the greatest thing in the world to be subject to potential criminal sanction. although you are currently subject if you fail to withhold your employees Social Security taxes or selfemployment taxes and this kind of thing. so there are fines. but really. when you are talking about workers who are often being employed at rates that may be less than the minimum wage and may be otherwise violating Federal wage and hour laws. it is peanuts. a thousand dollar fine. in some cases.
