The New York Times has finally discovered what's been evident for about twenty years: there is almost no workplace enforcement of our immigration laws.

Despite the snarky introduction I've provided, the article is strangely non-NYT-like: "The Search for Illegal Immigrants Stops at the Workplace" by Eduardo Porter.

In fact, it's just one small step from that article to the NYT finally following the money and finding out exactly why politicians support illegal immigration.
