Undocumented persons are living and working in the United States, the Justice Department is prosecuting at a rate of one employer for every one million undocumented persons.
While the president has charged that undocumented workers take away jobs from citizens, neither party is eager to deal with those who give away those jobs, despite the undocumented making up an estimated 5 percent.
It is illegal to hire, recruit, or refer illegal immigrants for hire.
Knowingly hiring illegal workers can result in six months of jail, while "Harboring" such workers can result in up to 10 years in prison.
These relatively rare actions pose little threat to most businesses, as shown by the rising numbers of illegal workers in the workforce.
The sharp dichotomy in enforcement against workers and employers undermines the demand for action by President Trump.
We need these workers so, instead, we round up a couple thousand in factories and restaurants while effectively ignoring the employers.
