Does deterrence work against asylum seekers or illegal immigrants from these countries
doubt it. only significant fines for employers (whether they use the "subcontractor" ruse or not) will work. then we'll be faced with a different problem, because most aren't willing to break their backs working in agriculture or landscaping for a pittance, and the rest of us don't want the cost of food and other services to go up by double digit percentages. let's face it, our jobs aren't going to give us raises to match inflation even in the current economy. at that point, we'll be forced to expand our guest worker program, which needs to happen anyway. i support an amnesty on top of that, but that's probably the topic for another thread.
