Why doesn't the government come after those that employ them? That would be much easier than going after the the individual illegal employee.

I agree with this entirely, and don't understand why others don't seem to complain about it. Illegal immigrants wouldn't be working in the country if people didn't hire them in the first place. To me, it's like tossing the drug addict in jail as opposed to the actual dealer.

IMO, we need something like a temporary work visa type situation since, as some said, some people don't come here for a citizenship, some come here in search of work to help their families. Maybe if the US could issue some kind of visa for that specifically, maybe the problems with illegal immigration would lessen.
