Many employers already pay minimum wage to illegal workers. Although some shifty employers may still exploit workers they can keep off the books, "I really don't think most serious corporations want that," says Jagdish Bhagwati, an economist at Columbia University.

If they all put down their tools tomorrow, the U.S. wouldn't be arguing about whether it is in a recession...
...bill treats an illegal alien's mere presence in the country-currently only a civil violation-as a felony punishable by a year and a day in jail and establishes mandatory minimum sentences for repeat offenders. Its sweeping language would make giving even humanitarian assistance to an illegal immigrant a crime punishable by up to five years in prison. Fines for an employer who hires illegal immigrants, which now range from $250 to $10,000 per violation, depending on the employer's previous conduct, would be increased to $5,000 to $25,000. Criminal penalties for repeat offenders could include...
