Illegals and the Walmartians

FROM Vague Nihilism

“Greg at the Talent Show has the beginning of an answer to the Immigration Issue, which Lou Dobbs huffs and puffs over, and even the Democratic National Committee has figured out will be an issue. So far, though, Howard Dean has only said illegal immigrants are going to be the GOP's "scapegoats" and the Democrats will stiffen border enforcement. Maybe Dean should say something like this:

Wal-Mart thinks they can lock a bunch of immigrants in their store over night and pay them cheap! But when Big Business breaks the law, we are going to make sure they pay the full price! They'll think twice about hiring people for two dollars an hour if we fine 'em twenty thousand dollars a head!
When Big Business tries to break the law to undercut Labor, the law needs to deal with them.”

After all that then consider adding a surcharge for each head for deportation procedures, then adding mandatory jail time for say, a second offense, for every person involved in the hiring of illegals, then say having the illegals do a little community service, perhaps supervising those who hired them,  before we deport them after confiscating their wages. To be fair, let’s discourage all parties involved from breaking the law.
