EMPLOYERS should be at least as onerous as what they have to do with illegal immigrants.

That is not the case.

Illegal employers benefit in vast ways from illegal employees and get a slap on the wrist IF caught that apparently is not enough to prevent them from doing what they are doing and taking advantage of other Americans, while abusing the vulnerabilities of illegal immigrants, as many of them also avoid taxes.
