Ya know, this is like arresting junkies to win the "War on Drugs".

Who is going after the employers? They're the real criminals here. They offer the employment, without which illegals might just as well stay home.

I especially like the touch when you say that the CEOs with their inflatable parachutes aren't costing people jobs because they're only looting corporate equity. Heh. Tell that to the former employees and the pensioners of companies whose financial health was ruined by people who knew enough to sell their stock options early and took a bonus when leaving to boot.

Also, we have a ready-made solution to the low wage employee situation. Revitalize the labor unions, by which I mean allow them to revitalize themselves, and reinstitute closed shops.

But I bet you wouldn't like that either. It's harder to pick workers off or play them against each other when they're organized.
