Verifying Labor
One of the comments made a point about it not being our responsibility to verify that someone is using illegal labor. But why not? Isn't it in our interests when a company is dumping chemicals illegally? and wouldn't you boycott that company if you knew?
If we're serious about the problem (and frankly, I could care less either way), then we need to be serious about addressing the problem. And addressing the problem means going after the businesses who create the jobs.
Or it could be a problem we're "serious" about addressing every four years when there's an election, in which case then yeah, let's talk about really expensive solutions that won't help and never get passed.
