    Regular domestic citizens get fucked.

    I agree.

    You reward them by paying them and then they and everyone back home sees its a viable approach to beat the system and they follow suit

    So the fix here is to hit the employers so hard they don’t risk hiring illegal again. You’re not going to out-scare desperation in people with little to lose. But most business owners won’t risk it of there’s good fines that are regularly used.

        Nah, fuck that. Corporations regularly steal millions of dollars a year in wage theft from regular Canadians. We don’t need to be punishing people who did the work from getting paid for the work they already fucking did. The more we normalize people not getting paid fairly regardless of why, we make it less likely for others to get paid properly and less likely for them to go to court over it.
