That means arresting Skip and Buffy Whitebread when it's discovered that they hired an undocumented immigrant to look after their kid while they are at work, because $30 a day won't cut into their Starbucks budget.
I would even be okay if the punishment for this crime were put on a sliding scale. Skip and Buffy fucked up; let's give them 20 hours each of community service to atone for their crime. On the other hand, over here we have JoeBob "Bubba" Factoryfarmer. He knowingly hired FIFTY illegals to work his lettuce farm. That's SIX MONTHS in PRISON for you, Bubba, and let that be a lesson to you and anyone else even thinking about doing the same thing.
Problem solved. Overnight. Yet no one talks about doing something like that. I wonder why.
