Because that wouldn't be such a bad start either.

5. $500,000 for hiring American citizens who were born to undocumented immigrants
$250,000 for their children, and so on unil the family has become pure 'Merican and fully assimilated.

10. Are you serious?
What you are proposing is discrimination and the establishment of second class citizenship.

What you are advocating is a grandfather clause, which has been illegal and unconstitutional in the United States since 1915.

I can hardly believe that a Democrat posted this in DU.

7. the key problem is "knowingly". Which will never be proven.
How do you get inside an employer's mind to show he "knowingly" hired an illegal alien? You can't.

17. pretty easy. you create a piece of paper for all to fill out. that piece of paper says I have
checked citizenship of all employees. simple. easy. .t could be on the IRS form for w2s and 1099s everyone signs every year, for example . Even if you have one part time employee you need to fill out paperwork for them.
