Those are good points but if you really want to see where it's at google, "no-match" letters
(Ya see, we really, really do know who they are and who hires them. The laws are not broken.)
It's not only business it's the immigrant "rights" industry that goes ballistic. Of course that industry includes lawyers, lawyers, lots of lawyers. Courts courts courts. Protests, protests, protests. Lobbying, lobbying, lobbying, Money, money, money.
As much as I am against shiny new laws for business, government, et al. to ignore I'd support the President if he would be up front.
To wit, no matter what the President proposes and Congress disposes the major howling will be from the immigrant rights "industry."
Prove to us, Mr. President, that you can thwart their efforts to circumvent and outright violate the new laws with impunity. No more more of the same from them, business, and government!
Oh we'll be told it's good. "Just look at this shiny new state-of-the-art law that goes 'Ping!'"
Government, business, immigrant "rights" industry, multiculturalists, academia, MSM, globalists' migrant labor, Democrats, Republicans, the U.N., foreign governments -- who doesn't support "willing worker-employer"? Only the bigoted xenophobic neo-Davidians holed up in their compounds oppose it. That's who. Hee, hee. Uh-oh!
It's a done deal. The fat Elvis has sung and left the building. It's about econmics and "social justice".
And yes I believe that it can become that serious.
What do you think he's not being up front about? He's said the current immigration laws don't reflect the economic reality and his solution is a guest worker program involving some type matching of employers unable to hire citizen with foreigners willing to take those jobs.
Other than that he hasn't really said much. When he says that family values don't end at the border I think he is referring to fact the Mexican laborers will continue to come as long as that is the only they can support their families.
I've discussed the issue with many of the same people here in Texas that Bush has (Senators, Congressmen, x-Gov, party leaders, business leaders, political consultants) and everyone sincerely believes that as long as we need them and they need to come here to support their families, there is no way we can stop it. Accept the reality and try to reform the laws to deal with it as best possible.
Those who believe that we can seal the borders aren't living in the real world.
