> Company has to make a good faith recruitment effort.

Yes. And as the topical article and countless other ones state - they don't. They actively obfuscate their job openings so they do know they act against the law. And it's so easy to observe that their "good lawyers" cannot help here.

>The government doesn't believe that it can win on the merits, and hence they settle.

That's just, like, your opinion, dude.

That's the official opinion of the government, the judiciary, and the defendants. A settlement is not admission of guilt - the opposite actually. What are we even debating here ?

A settlement for a pittance, as you said, is the mark of a good lawyer.

    If it has been an official opinion it would have been published and you had a link to it, would not you? Settlement is not an admission of guilt nor is it admission that the case can't be won on merit.

    >A settlement for a pittance, as you said, is the mark of a good lawyer.

    Different lawyer handle DOJ prosecution and immigration (immigration lawyers are usually not even members of BAR). The government settles this kind of cases because of politics, not merit. If there had been a modicum of will to go after lawbreakers, these cases would try themselves - tons of witnesses, tons of evidence zero traces of "good faith".

      The government also files these cases in the first place because of politics, not merit. See my point about theater earlier.

      That's just like, your opinion, dude.
