I do not call it nitpicking when through a stealth move we remove increased penalties for employers who we know are hiring people who are not authorized to work in this country. Why? I do not know. Who does it hurt? Only those employers who are violating the law. Why do we want to reduce the penalties on employers who are violating the law? Final point I will make. young student in college. tries to get financial aid. has been valedictorian in high school. Because he is a legal immigrant. he happens to be qualified for a Pell grant. Gets a Pell grant for 1 year. is now deportable because the person qualified for a Pell grant or maybe a student loan. Crazy.
