Trump was an illegal employer himself half way through his first term. A story was going to come out so he got ahead of it and got rid of them.
/---/ Does it matter? Al Capone was convicted of tax evasion and got 11 years. They didn't get him on murder, bootlegging, and extortion as planned. Jail is jail.

Clinton was doing his job. Bush stopped. ON PURPOSE. Because the illegal employers asked him to stop enforcing the laws.
"Between 1999 and 2003, work-site enforcement operations were scaled back 95 percent by the Immigration and Naturalization Service, which subsequently was merged into the Homeland Security Department.

"In 1999, the United States initiated fines against 417 companies. In 2004, it issued fine notices to three."

And Trump was convicted of several felonies yet never spent one day in jail, that is not right.
Back when 35% of Americas workforce was unionized, companies couldn't get away with it. If one shop was union and the other was not and the union guys got wind the competition was hiring illegals, well.... we raided them.
Hate to tell you this, but 183 out of the tens of thousands of companies in the country is nothing. They were making a token gesture at best and did not want to really do anything about it.Finally you are agreeing with us liberals? We've been saying that since the Bush years.
