Republicans, since you claim to be concerned about illegal immigration, would you support a "Three Strikes"?

[francisco]

law for employers? If an employer is found to be willfully hiring illegals three times in a row then all company assets on the work-site where illegals were present and working would be forfeited to the government and auctioned off to help cover costs associated with maintaining the border patrol.

They support e-verify... that's an even more stringent measure.

It means you have to run prospective employees through a database to check their legal status... not some stupid "after the fact" law.

[delron]

i would rather a one strike law but libs are against that.

[wahchintonka48]

You're not concerned?

[anglesey34]

100%

[egann]

Yes I would provided the documents they had weren't forgeries and e verify was nationwide.

Republicans think whipping them is being "too easy on them"

I say as a country, we never look towards the opinion of a filthy Republican.

[croslea]

Not a republican , but that sounds great to me, also forfeiture of all the assets of the illegal immigrant , just like anyone else who has economic gains from crime.

Employers have no ways to check the legal status of an employee. If they call the SS Administration to check on the legal status of a potential employee, they are told that it is considered discrimination.

I live in a county that is 70% Latino. Both my husband and I were employers. Illegals come here and purchase ID's and SS numbers. When these documents are provided at the time of employment, there is NO way of knowing if the documents are legal or not.

An employer would be an idiot to hire under the table. Not only because of the risks associated (injury, death, etc), but because payroll is one of the biggest expenses an employer has and expenses are write offs.
