STOPPING ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

Looks like the Feds are finally doing something about illegal immigration...sort of. They've indicted three cleaning company executives for tax evasion. That is, collecting income tax from illegals, but not sending it to the IRS. How about indicting them for hiring the illegals in the first place? Oh wait...we don't arrest people in this country for being illegal aliens. Darn.

But really, this is the way illegal immigration is going to be stopped, if we ever do anything about it. As long as there are companies willing to employ illegals, the Mexican invasion will continue. It's a simple issue of supply and demand. If the government and law enforcement would make hiring illegals expensive and painful, the practice would stop.

In the case of these three executives, if they had paid the taxes on the illegals, nothing would've happened to them. So the message is clear: hire as many illegals as you want..just pay off the government in the process and you'll be fine.
