Imagine this happening during the years of significant immigration from European countries. As merely a third generation American, I wouldn't be here today had funds intended to bring family members from Norway to America were seized.
This is nothing more than state robbery on the basis of a last name, and continues to ignore the source of the problem. Significant penalities assessed upon the employers of illegals would be more effective, but there doesn't appear to be any interest in pursuing that course.
This is a case of having your cake (low cost labor) and eating it too (confiscation of earnings). Disgusting.
