Would the gentleman agree that oftentimes a businessman. when faced with a civil penalty. although he knows that he could defeat it if he took the time and effort and proved that he really did do all the things that were necessary. will often just go ahead and pay a fine and say. "Well. I want to get it out of the way." And that they are scared to death when somebody comes and says. "I am with the Federal Government." They go ahead and concede and then. before they know it. they will be faced with a criminal indictment. I am not wanting to protect the people who are deliberately. for economic gain. trying to hire undocumented people. but those who have to hire temporary workers and have to hire them quickly in order to get their work done and really try to abide by the law.
