"When it comes to the immigration debate, Washington is
strangely silent on one major aspect -- the employers,"
said Claire McCaskill.

Standing in front of the Eagleton Federal Court House in St. Louis, Claire McCaskill showed how the Republican Congress looked the other way while penalties for employers that hire illegal immigrants dropped by 99%, serving as a catalyst for the immigration crisis we now face. McCaskill outlined her plan to toughen our borders and crack down on those who violate our laws.

"When it comes to the immigration debate, Washington is strangely silent on one major aspect -- the employers," McCaskill said. "Since 1995, penalties on employers that hire illegal immigrants have dropped by 99%. It's no wonder when you see that Senators, like our own Jim Talent, are taking thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from these companies who exploit illegal workers for cheap labor. This little game of corporate back scratching has caused the immigration crisis we now face."
