I know we have good laws in place, and I'm quite sure they do allow for jail time already. I remember as far back as in '99 applying for a job with a temp agency required me to prove I was legaly able to work. This is something they took seriously and was not something they would just let "slide". I'm white and I live in an 97% white state. Odds of a random white person in my state being an illegal from Canada (don't talk like a european) is extremely low. With regards to hispanics living in California, the odds of a random hispanic being unable to work legaly is high enough that it warrants an inspection. So the fact that they can find work shows willful disrespect for the law.
So if I had to prove my right to work in the US, every one else should too.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
