What didn't they do? They were obviously here illegally and working illegally. Did they drive to work without a driver's license or inform their employer that they were here illegally? Did they pay taxes on their earnings? Did they supply an SSN?
It is illegal for employers to hire illegals to work.
but they are not often times, the villains that you are portraying. That is a fact. Sometimes, yes, they are. Often times, not.
Save your BS for people who don't understand our immigration laws.
The Myth of the “Otherwise Law-Abiding” Illegal Alien
The average illegal alien violates numerous statutes, often creating real victims.
False Personation of a U.S. Citizen (18 U.S.C. § 911). Illegal aliens often present themselves as U.S. citizens, an act punishable by up to five years in jail, a felony. This law is often cited in immigration prosecutions and may involve, for example, an alien claiming U.S. citizenship to his employer.
Fraud and False Statements (18 U.S.C. § 1001). It is common for illegal aliens to make false statements to the government or on official documents. An illegal alien violates this law when claiming to be a U.S. citizen on an I-9 Employment Eligibility form and faces a fine and up to five years imprisonment.
Social Security Fraud (42 U.S.C. § 408). This statute has been invoked where an illegal alien provided a false Social Security number for the purpose of acquiring a job, where an illegal alien used a fraudulent Social Security number for the purpose of acquiring a driver's license, and when an illegal alien used a Social Security card belonging to a citizen in order to obtain Section 8 housing, for example. Violation of this statute can result in a fine and/or imprisonment up to five years. The court can also require violators to provide restitution to the victims.
Stop defending the indefensible.
Every time I see an illegal alien walking around (they’re easy to spot, especially the men: diminutive, wearing a cap with a hooded sweatshirt with the hood pulled over the cap, plus a backpack), I wonder which business hires them, so I can make a point of boycotting that business.
Oh brother..obviously employers have wanted these workers for cheap labor..daaa. I am not saying it is right nor justifying them breaking the law and I said in my very first post that the concern needs to be for the US citizens first! I am just pointing out that many them are not the villains you and others want to believe they are.
