I don’t get it. You’re mixing the violation of workplace laws that apply to everyone with laws against hiring illegals. Like almost everything around enforcement, you can make an argument that it interferes with some other goal. But the underlying assumption necessary for the problem of protecting illegal workers from workplace abuse is that there will continue to be the employment of illegal immigrants.
The idea that the amount of legal immigration that is greater than any other country in the world is too restrictive is as you put it, an opinion not a fact. Nothing but enforcement will stem people from coming here.
The way I understand it, the felony provision was actually kept in HR 4437 by the Democrats. Sensenbrenner was advised of problems with it and tried to remove it but Democrats voted 191 to 8 against reducing it to a misdemeanor. It has certainly been a major argument against the bill and I suppose they didn’t want to give it up.
Sensenbrenner also uses the already existing basic pilot program for employment verification purposed. It has been around for years but used only on a voluntary basis and the GAO expressed that despite some problems it holds promise.

The real solution, a much smaller and less corrupt Mexican gov't with much greater economic chances there, is even more unlikely than the US gov't getting policy right.
