Now that's how you handle illegal immigration ...

... you hit employers who employ them where it hurts the most -- right in their pockets. What am I talking about? Well, how about this story excerpted here: Harboring illegal immigrants to work at hotels in London (that's London, KY) has cost two companies a total of $1.65 million. U.S. District Judge Danny C. Reeves yesterday fined Asha Ventures LLC and Narayan LLC each $75,000. The companies also together paid $1.5 million in lieu of turning over a motel and other property to the government, said Jennifer L. Pollard, spokeswoman for the regional Internal Revenue Service criminal investigation office. That $1.5 million cash payment in lieu of forfeiture of assets is one of the largest, or possibly the largest, of its kind in the federal Eastern District of Kentucky, said Assistant U.S. Attorney Frances E. Catron, who helped prosecute.
Way to go guys. Let's keep it up.
