"So, I stand by my statement that I find the gov't more at fault than employers, who I wouldn't expect to investigate the backgrounds of every employee."

In general, I'd agree. That's why the claim that we could materially reduce illegal immigration by enforcing existing laws on employers, essentially making employers do the police work, is bogus.

But also, we were talking about an employer that was knowingly and systematically violating the law, and they are being prosecuted. The employer is clearly the one to blame in such cases and in this case at least, the government is doing it's job.
