And why don't those that go on and on about illegal immigration focus on the REAL problem of employers?
Because we're a bunch of neo-nazi racists? (That's not tongue-in-cheek.)
I fully support mandates to require SS number verification at time of hire. As it stands, the SS administration has its hands tied. It usually takes a snitch to bring about a workplace raid.

But, to my opening statement; any attempt to curtail illegal immigration is met with cries of racism, even those directed at employers.
The tea party is doing it on its own, rather than trying to get Uncle Sam to enforce something. Basically, the tea party is the exact opposite of these morons.
Not sure what you're getting at. To me, both the teapartiers and the pro-illegals are a bunch of frightened, gutless crybabies.
I'm not sure if these boycott ideas that are being floated will take hold or not. A lot depends on whether the boycotts, if approved, are just symbolic, or if they really have some teeth in them..

Doing what on their own...waving misspelled racist signs, inciting violence, collecting government checks?
Teabaggers don't do a thing on their own. Heck, they even take their orders from a chalked up alcoholic..
Example: In the early 1990's the NFL moved the 1993 Super Bowl site from Phoenix, Ariz., to Pasadena, Calif., because of a boycott of Arizona due to it's refusal to observe MLK day..

Conservatives and the GOP always like to talk a good game re: "illegal immigration", but the reality is they seldom do much about it, to avoid upsetting their corporate handlers (who benefit the most, thru cheap wages). The Bush Administration became notorious for this:
"The claims of this administration and its commitment to interior enforcement of immigration laws are laughable," said Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, an advocacy group that favors tougher workplace enforcement, among other measures. "The administration only discovered immigration enforcement over the past few months, five years into its existence, and only then because they realized that a pro-enforcement pose was necessary to get their amnesty plan approved."

Stop employers from hiring illegals is the only solution, take the hiring managers to jail, fine the CEO, freeze their assets and treat them like Capital Terrorists.
