As a previous employer, I was required by law to submit an I-9 employment eligibility verification form. If I failed to do so, I could be fined, which could be increased up to $10,000 per illegal employee, jail time if it was found to be a pattern.

In Mississippi a raid just accounted for over 600 "illegal" employees arrested. No employers were reported arrested. Employers are regulated by laws. If the "illegal" employees were arrested, why were not the employers arrested also?

Similarly, hundreds of former federal prosecutors signed a petition stating that according to the "Mueller Report" many laws were broken. Still others reject this. When will our laws be the same for all, not only bringing consequences to those with no connections?
