Now. as we look at our 5 millionplus employers in America. I do not think anybody believes that every single one of them is doing something wrong. I think we are all perfectly aware of the fact that it is not a handful. it is obviously more than a handful. but there is a certain group of employers. and most people in immigration offices around the country know which employers there are. that are hiring illegals. Now. why do they do it? Because our labor laws are written so if you want to complain about wages or working conditions. you go down and file a complaint. Obviously that is great for American citizens. It is pretty lousy if you are an illegal alien because your employer could then turn you in if you turned him in. One of the things that has bothered me in this debate is those of us who feel that the individual penalty approach is correct. which is Congressman ROYBALS approach and is the fairest approach. we keep getting castigated and we keep getting painted as being people who just want to keep letting the borders be free. letting people pour over and on and on and on. What we are really saying is that we ought to target it first to the employers that we think are violating the law and take the profit out of their violating the law.
