For practical purposes of taking action against employers, we get more "bang for the buck", with audits.

Remember, most employers don't get jail time, because illegals use false documents. These audits prove E-Verify is necessary, to weed out illgal residents.

Illegal aliens are actually deported following a raid. Wish I could say the same thing for the audits. Look, I have no problem with the audits, however, I do have a problem with giving illegal aliens a free pass. Enforcement needs to be balanced, and I believe raids combined with audits help to create that balance.

Nobody gets deported after an audit. Oh, and as for bad publicity, I guess that depends on who you are. Personally, I think raids are a great way to show our immigration laws are being enforced. I certainly don't vew them as a bad thing. Of course I'm not a member of La Raza, MALDEF, SPLC, or the ACLU.

I think raids have their place. For instance, companies who hire large numbers of illegal aliens are worth raiding. It's a two for one deal. You get the employer and you can deport the workers, instead of putting them back out to find another job. In some cases, they would leave one job to work for another local company who has similar hiring practices. Like locations that have a high number of meat packing plants in the area could adsorb the dismissed illegal aliens.

We're thinking along the same lines, Dixie. I was typing my response when you posted yours.

$110,000 isn't much to a company that nets millions or tens of millions annually.
