I think the current fine is $250 per incident. Wow!

Try making the fine $25,000 and a mandatory 1 year in the calaboose for
EACH illegal hired and all of a sudden you will see just how responsible
business can be.

And I am all for immigration.... legally. I doubt that many reading
this group are native Americans. My father's parents were born in Germany.

AND... I always get a huge laugh out of the guys they interview on TV
screaming that the "Immigrants are coming here taking our jobs." Tell
you what, Bubba.... if some illegal who doesn't speak English can walk
in and take your job, the fact is that you probably ain't too bright and
aren't a very good worker in the first place. You should have thought
of that before you dropped out of school in the ninth grade.
