View submission: What are the reasons millions of undocumented immigrants were allowed in the US? I don't recall ever hearing the most obvious reasons by politicians.

Uhm, it's already been illegal to knowingly hire undocumented workers. Has been since Reagan.

Title 8 U.S.C §1324 a(a)(1)(A) makes it unlawful for any person or entity to hire, recruit, or refer for a fee, for employment in the United States an undocumented worker.

Subsection 1324a(2) makes it unlawful for any person or entity, after hiring an undocumented worker for employment, to continue to employ that worker knowing the worker is/or has become unauthorized with respect to such employment

Ok, then why aren't those people prosecuted?
