From a reader:

Mr. Goldberg, I not only do not care what those debating the bill say, I do not care what the bill itself, even in its “final” form says. The White House makes a big deal that the fines for an employer hiring illegals have been seriously increased up to $25,000.00 for the third illegal employee. Why not make it a kajillion dollars for each illegal? Then they can say that when they catch the first illegal employee under the bill, the fines will not only pay for the enforcement and benefits attendant to the bill, but it will also save Social Security. It will impress the rubes who actually believe them and it will not make it any less believable to those who have been paying attention. The text of the bill is meaningless because the provisions which the executive branch does not care, or is unable to enforce will never be enacted. Here it is presented in the preferred “FACT/MYTH” format: MYTH: The bill will cost the taxpayers billions in welfare benefits and other services.
· FACT: In the bill, fines for hiring an illegal worker are $1 Kajillion maximum per illegal worker for the first offense, $2 Kajillion maximum per illegal worker for the second, and $3 Kajillion maximum per illegal worker for the third. MYTH: The bill will not fully fund the previously enacted border fence.
· FACT: In the bill, the fence will be 1,000 feet tall, 300 feet wide, run the length of the southern border and extend thirty miles into the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. In the bill, the top of the wall will be patrolled by orcs riding giant cougars and wielding frickin’ lasers.
