Who is more criminal, an illegal worker or an illegal employer?

Employer!  The worker is just trying for a better life while the employer is looking to exploit low wage workers.  If you pay lousy, and all your workers are immigrant, well, you can probably figure they're all illegal; so don't give me this "but I thought they had papers..." story.\n\nBUT having said that...we have been tacitly giving the ok to this behaviour for 20 or 30 years, can we all of a sudden say, well, it was ok to violate the law yesterday and I know you have kids and a house and a family, but now we decided to enforce the rules so go home or go to jail???  That is not moral or ethical behavior.

How to resolve the illegal immigration problem. But explore the option of criminalizing employers of illegal immigrants and not the immigrants. Those are the ones the that need to be fined and jailed, not the immigrants or their countries blamed. Employers are greedy and are not willing to pay social, medical or taxes. As long as there are jobs in the US for illegal immigrants, they will continue coming.

The crimes will still be on record to protect corporations from hiring bad people. Just that you can't be arrested or be guilty for all previous crimes. For any new crimes you commit, you are not protected by the amnesty.

I'd go for the corporations and businesses, they are the next in this pyramid of breaking the law, the last would be the illegals who have been getting away with coming here, getting jobs and staying without any contemplation whatsoever. The top of this pyramid is the government that doesn't enforce Immigration laws. Lately, we have many "real problems" that our President is just not equipped to solve, they just seem to get worse.

Yes, I believe that is the answer to the illegal problem, go after the employer, arrest the people that do the hiring and put them in jail, make the company's pay a huge fine per illegal, that would get the message out to the employers that it will not be tolerated. \n\nNO WORK = NO JOB = NO MONEY = NO REASON TO BE HERE.

I think that you go after the employer, you arrest them and put them in jail for a significant time and you fine the hell out of them. I have a formula for this. \n\nNO JOBS = NO WORK = NO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.

First of all you need to define your terms. in your question you stated "hate" and "illegal". In your support, you stated "immigrants". There is a VERY large difference.\n\nBasically that illegals are here ILLEGALLY!\n\nIt appears that your statements are based on a vile dislike of the word "Republican". Illegals do not steal the jobs of fat cat Republicans, they steal them from the high school kid next door trying to save for college or buy his first car. they steal from the public because they demand serviuces and goods but are not taxed to support those goods and services. In essence, they arent pulling their own weight. Are you stating that you approve of freeloaders? \n\nAs an aside, did you know that if you added up the number of people who you consider fat cats, did you know that 3 of every 4 fat cats are liberal democrats, as stated by the federal General Accounting Office? I use the word "rich" here, and i define it as anyone making over half a million dollars a year.\n\nSo i recommend that you define your terms and your position before you go firing volleys based on hate, and make sure your arguments are complete and accurate.

A crime is a crime. Do the crime, do the time!  They are called ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS for a reason!

Entering and remaining in the country without documented permission is a misdemeanor.  \n\nRepresenting yourself as someone else in order to obtain work is fraud and identity theft, felonies.\n\nThe misdemenaor is cheap and easy to prove.  Felonies are expensive to prosecute and harder to convict on--there are so many illegal aliens to capture that it is most expedient to slap the misdemeanor on them and deport them quickly.  That is the current working theory anyway.  Great success, huh?

The word "illegal" indicates the person committed an act against the law. Usually, punishment such as prison and fines are the penalties for committing a crime, but apprently some people feel that illegal immigration should take exception. Illegal immigration should be PUNISHED, not rewarded.\n\nTo answ3r3r: Illegal immigration has NO comparison to the civil rights movement. Rosa Parks was a CITIZEN fighting for equality. The immigration protests are demanding PREFERENTIAL treatment.

Nope. The only workplace encounter I ever had with an illegal immigrant was in the kitchen of a restaurant. This guy was from Mexico... he was a GREAT dishwasher... I mean that sincerely. It's not an easy job. He did his job swiftly and without complaining. He was much better than the dumb guy they got to replace him when they found out he was illegal.

are you asking immigrants or illegal immigrants, there is a HUGE difference.

I'll agree with that....and say the REAL crime is not enforcing on employers that encourage people to move to the US illegally to begin with by not observing US labor laws.\n\nWe need: \nemployer enforcement\nborder enforcement\nfrank and honest dialogue with the public on the issue.\nIf those 3 things happen, we'll see a lot less illegal immigration.
