If you really wanted to solve the illegal problem, everytime an illegal employer was caught, that employer would be forced to pay all the illegal emplyees back pay, bringing their total wages to $100/hr. And confiscate the business of repeat offenders. And a very stiff prison term. And derision and social ostricization from their neighbors.

But then, you'd have to pay a little more for the roof on your storm-damaged house, and that head of lettuce, and that wax job on your Ford Excursion, and that truck load of sod for that new McMansion, and that cut-with-a-fork rib-eye that comes with 2 sprigs of asparagus and a salad, and all the thousands of things that you depend on to keep your beautiful insulated pampered life free of the grime and ugliness and sweat that most of the world calls reality.

But don't think about that.
