Just because I have a criticism of the left you automatically accuse me of being partisan, effectively "blinkered by ideology" and having an "emotional attachment" to the right and taking it all personally.

quote:

Basically, treating me as if I'm flawed instead of disagreeing with me logically.

quote:

I see that as both uncivil and irrational.

You're not even trying to approach the discussion objectively.

Penalising illegal immigrants working for a fraction of minimum wage accomplishes nothing. Bankrupting an employer or two who pays them peanuts to do so with legal fees and punitive fines, or even confiscating their business as the instrumentality of a crime would have a lot more impact.

What happens to a confiscated business?

I expect they do the same thing they do now, sell off the assets and/or sell the business as a going concern..

Is that what they do? Who do they sell it to? What happens to all the (legal) people that used to work there?

quote:

Of course a well-advised business would put another business in between (such as a labor/employment company that hires/fires employees, etc) and have the assets in yet another company, making sure that the corporate veil can not be said to have been pierced.. its called bulletproofing yer assets..

So, confiscating the business might not actually work?

quote:

I read about one business that hired a homeless guy and gave him a job, turns out the docs he was told to sign made him the president of the (shady) company so when the govt came knocking & attempted to hold those in charge accountable, the real principles/scum were apparently not known..

I don't doubt there are shady fuckwits out there that will do whatever they can to lie, cheat, steal, and have a scapegoat. I'm just as sure that there are more legit companies that don't.
