Exactly!!!! People seem to be so pissed off about Mexicans coming here illegally, and maybe its not totally unwarranted, but don't blame the immigrants, you'd want to come here too if you lived in Mexico. Some problems just aren't ours to fix.
the solution could be as simple as enforcement of current labor laws...
if firms hiring illegal immigrants were charged with not only hiring illegals but with a host of other labor violation s (minimum wage, reporting, tax, etc.) and we really made this a priority it wouldn't be long before the economic advantages of hiring illegal workers would disappear...
and it wouldn't be hard...
anyone who knows their own city even fairly well could point you to a few places to start looking for violations...
of course if the companies are forced to make good with back pay for violations of minimum wage laws, that $$$ should go to the worker, legal or not.
