I posted this, after Jack Hollis said people who hire illegal aliens
should be imprisoned:

"The woman who cleans my house is Hispanic. I have no idea what her
immigration status is. Does that make me a criminal? If everyone who
hired illegal aliens were to be imprisoned, we'd have to build a
whole
hell of lot of new prisons."

I was not inviting a discussion of how my wife went about hiring her
or what forms we have or have not filled out. In fact, the level of
attention that's being paid to this is getting ridiculous.

"The woman who cleans my house is Hispanic. I have no idea what her
immigration status is. Does that make me a criminal? If everyone who
hired illegal aliens were to be imprisoned, we'd have to build a

This discussion has come full circle. The Liberal solution to illegal
immigration is to do nothing, just as the original post implied.
