EPA Official Armendariz 
“You hit them as hard as you can, and you make examples out of them, and  there is a deterrent effect there. And, companies that are smart see  that, they don’t want to play that game, and they decide at that point  that it’s time to clean up.” 
Or, they decide at that time that business would be better in Mexico...or Brazil...or Canada... And the US is out another business and several hundred jobs.
