re: #1044 HoosierHoops

Maybe American Businesses that want to cheat paying an illegal person 5 bucks an hour should be forced to pay a fair wage in a fair market…Changes the landscape when you can’t leverage 5 bucks to say 10 or 12 bucks an hour..Kind of a bummer they would have to play by fair rules…
I know it will never happen..Oh well

You may have an excellent point - it is by no means a given that forcing our illegals to leave would be an overall bad thing. Personally, I don’t know. My point is, in reality, they are not going to be deported in masse and the government is not going to crack down on employers in a meaningful way designed to end illegal employment. So the question is, do we keep the status quo or have a combination of amnesty and employer sanctions with enforcment? If there is something else on the table that has a real world chance of passing, i’d love to know what it is.
