John,

Not all, but most. If we enforce the laws about employing illegals, with very significant penalties for employers, then the (unemployed) illegals will find their way back to their home countries. They made it here without the pay that they receive in the US; certainly they can make it home.

I think there are already significant penalties in place, but there is virtually no enforcement. On the contrary, as opposed to enforcing the immigration laws of this country, there are number of state and local governments that actively hinder the enforcement of laws.

So on one hand, there are some companies (like the place i work at) that abides by the laws religiously, we see our competitors snap up the potential employees we reject (because they can't prove they are authorized to work in the US). It is particularly painful to watch that in areas where the labor market is tight, and we are losing business because we can't find people ...
