Who said anything about arresting employers?

I say, fine the pants off them.

They hire illegal immigrants to maximize their profits. Take their profits away, and then some.

The punishment should fit the crime. Why should they get to put their assets in a trust and spend 18 months in a minimum-security facility with 3 square meals a day and conjugal visits?
