Reply #46: If we were serious about illegal immigration we would fine those who hire them.

If we jailed and fined those responsible for this massive exploitation of vulnerable desperate people this so-called problem would have never been allowed to escalate to the present monstrosity that it has become.

The problem of families that have children that were born in the United States having citizenship and deporting their parents is hideous. Or deporting young people who were taken into the country at a young age and deporting them is a bit problematic unless you have zero compassion.

We need a two fold solution. A reasonable amnesty program and strict enforcement of laws prohibiting hiring illegal immigrants. The very people that scream the loudest about the illegals are the very same ones who support unrestrained businesses that exploit these desperate people; i.e., they are called Republicans.
