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

When your W-4 says Married and 8 Dependents, your tax withholding is very, very low, especially if you aren't being paid top dollar.
As for why, well, too many politicians see the illegals (and legal Hispanic sympathizers) as a voting bloc to be wooed, so there's a few ICE raids here and there for show, a few penalties on employers to make it look good, but they largely turn a blind eye to both.
