Could the DOJ not simply arrest those in violation of immigration law? Certainly there must be statutes forbidding the aiding and abetting of illegal immigration or penalties for facilitating their activities. I would think a few meaningful arrests of those refusing to abide by federal law might have a more effective impact than a lawsuit.

She stated she was willing to go to jail to do what she thought was it. That clearly shows that she knowingly and willingly committed a crime. If someone does that they should be arrested. Public officials who are directly involved in how the legislative process works should be held to a standard that excludes usurping that process.

The feds can go in there and arrest whoever they want. The issue is that the feds wouldnt have to do that nearly as much if the companies didnt hire illegals.
