    This became obvious to me when I was young and learned that nothing happened much to the employer who was hiring the illegal immigrant.

    It was always the immigrant’s fault, somehow, that they are being exploited. And they were the ones punished, not the people exploiting them.

      Hey now, have a little faith in the system. They might have received a token fine that was less than what they saved by using illegal immigrants in the first place!
