Editorial for Des Moines Register

It sounds like a simple approach to this country's illegal immigration problems: Crack down on businesses that employ undocumented workers.

But it's not so simple. Just consider the jury's verdict of “not guilty” for Sholom Rubashkin. The former Agriprocessors Inc. executive had been charged with scores of child labor violations and was acquitted on all of them. The Iowa Attorney General's Office alleged Rubashkin knew there were many children working in the Postville slaughterhouse prior to the 2008 federal immigration raid - but that he did nothing to put a stop to it.
