2. and yet no fine for an airline crash?

3. Could we add in repealing NAFTA and eliminating corporate farm subsidies?

Because that wouldn't be such a bad start either.

4. What's the fine for refusing to hire US citizens

who might speak with a funny accent?

5. $500,000 for hiring American citizens who were born to undocumented immigrants

$250,000 for their children, and so on unil the family has become pure 'Merican and fully assimilated.

8. Do you think the current penalties are sufficient? n/t

10. Are you serious?

What you are proposing is discrimination and the establishment of second class citizenship.

What you are advocating is a grandfather clause, which has been illegal and unconstitutional in the United States since 1915.

I can hardly believe that a Democrat posted this in DU.

12. No, I'm making fun of the borders over people crowd.

13. For Chrissake, put a sarcastathingie on your post

you made me go ballistic.

[tabasco]

14. Should we unilaterally do away with our borders and immigration enforcement?

GREAT IDEA! :dunce:

[Xipe Totec]

15. It's on par with the OP's suggestion as far as brilliance is concerned n/t

[tabasco]

16. Let's hear your ideas, professor! n/t

[RB TexLa]

6. Tom Tancredo would be the one you would go to for a check for that

7. the key problem is "knowingly". Which will never be proven.

How do you get inside an employer's mind to show he "knowingly" hired an illegal alien? You can't.

9. The same way criminals are convicted every day.

There are many crimes of intent successfully convicted every day.

11. you can if you put in place a system that allows verification for the employer

to check legality. Then if they hire someone who dosent check out then you fine them....

17. pretty easy. you create a piece of paper for all to fill out. that piece of paper says I have

checked citizenship of all employees. simple. easy. .t could be on the IRS form for w2s and 1099s everyone signs every year, for example . Even if you have one part time employee you need to fill out paperwork for them.
