4. It's cheaper to arrest the five guys at Wal-Mart who hire the 50 undocumented workers.

It's cheaper to arrest the CEO of Tyson Foods than to arrest and deport the thousands of undocumented workers who he hired.

You arrest the bosses, the undocumented workers will leave, and they will do it on their own dime, instead of at taxpayer expense.

If you really want undocumented workers to leave, THAT is the way to do it.

As Thom Hartmann says, we don't have an illegal worker problem-- we have an illegal EMPLOYER problem.
