30-Day amnesty for Employers?

Maybe we've been looking at things through the wrong eyes. I propose an amnesty for Employers.
Yep.
That way, all Employers get 30 days to certify through whichever alphabet soup agencies are concerned with Immigration that they have NO illegals working at their companies.
Companies found to be employing illegal aliens after that time would be prosecuted for doing so.
The illegal aliens that don't have jobs anymore are then free to seek other, legal ways to enter the workforce (and our Country).
The rest will be assumed to have committed a crime by sneaking into our Country illegally, and will be tracked down and sent away.

Your thoughts?

    Employers pay taxes to the Government that is charged with protecting the border and preventing undocumented immigration.
    The Government fails to do what it is paid to do, so you want the Government to use the money they are paid to do what they failed to do, to punish the people who paid them for failing to do what they (THE GOVERNMENT) failed to do, after being paid to do it.

    BRILLIANT

    Wow Laz; you seem to have spun into space with your circuitous logic.

    I'm not suggesting that the Guvamint finally get off their collective heinies and do anything; I want employers to bear the brunt of the expense because they are the single reason that illegals aliens come here. (At least according to their apologists)

    Seems to me that the folks least affected by illegals are the more strident naysayers. Spend a month in new Mexico.

    When a person comes to me looking for work I should not have to worry about wether it is legal for me to hire him. the only concern I should have is wether he is capable of doing the job.
    If it becomes my responsibility to police the public then I am being forced to do the Government's job without the authority granted by the people.
    If I own a daycare facility and a guy comes to me to apply for a job and he is a convicted child molester then I am responsible for the time and expense of researching to find that out, and if I don't then I am held responsible for what he does wile in my employ. But I should not have to research his background, because HE SHOULD BE IN JAIL.
    If a mexican comes to me looking for a job I should not have to research his citizenship status, because he should have been stopped at the border.
    If your going to force employers to regulate who they hire then you will have to create a national ID backed by an extensive data base on every individual in the country and that is a purely Communistic plan.
    This is the plan. create a problem by not fulfilling your duty to the citizens until the citizens scream and then the best solution to the problem you failed to prevent is to strip the citizenry of their freedom.

    That is the current set of regulations which I have to abide by whenever I hire someone. How much more am I supposed to do? I have 40 people working in my firm and as far as I can find out, based on the information I am provided with, each and every one of them has the right to work in this country. It is not my job to ensure that the only people inside the United States are those allowed by law to be here, that is the job of the idiots in DC who can't do anything right- except remember to collect my payroll taxes...they are very good at that! Running a business is a maze of rules and regulations from more state and federal agencies than I can shake a stick at and trying to dump the illegal immigration issue into the laps of those of us who own businesses is the wrong way to go about it.

    If the Government is going to fine me for hiring illegals and Hollywood says "to be against illegal immigration is racist," then the Government is forcing me to be a racist and then Liberals will harass me for being a racist.
    There is a sign along the road outside a small town close to my home paid for by tax dollars.
    The sign reads, "There is no room for racism here," meaning I cannot refuse to hire illegal messicans, according to Liberals, yet if I do I get fined.

    What I have found in my 30+ years as CFO for several large companies is the problem is dealing with the fake ID. We hire people by requesting copies of local ID and make copies of drivers licenses. These licenses are issued by the state that one resides in at the time they request the license. Here is the problem! The states are issuing licenses to ILLEGIALS! Our own government is issuing fake ID which is used to obtain jobs. Some states are also issuing voters registration cards.

    It takes months for the "fake" social security numbers to get kicked back to empolyers. They then go back to the empolyee and the empolyee says, oh darn I gave you the wrong number, off a digit or two. Then we do the dance again with the government.

    So how can you hold the employer responsible when the state and local government sets you up for failure?? Its simply the old game of pointing the finger at someone else and refusing to take responsibility. Its the GOVERNMENTS FAULT! They let them in and then give them BS ID. Its not our fault! (empolyers that is)

    Got to educate everyone that its becoming a game of "deflection"! Deflecting the responsibility to another source of money, fine the piss out of the employers). It is truly becoming a joke!

    keep in mind that our government is arresting its own citizens before they are arresting the illegal foreign aliens.

    Albert;
    Your statement is incorrect by virtue of the fact that you used the word our before the word Government. The word the would be more appropriate
