I am not for going after the employers.

I mean do you really want to be held responsible if it turns out your lawn guy is an illegal? cause I don't.

I hire people every now and then to do odd jobs, and I don't have a clue about them beyond their ability and willingness to do some manual labor for a few bucks.

So, how do you imagine you’re not part of the problem?

Then you'll get exactly what you deserve if one of them is injured on your property, performing work for you...They'll turn on you like a pit bull with an attitude. Bet the rent.

Another sell out from Texas?

Going after employers is key to saving America. It's the traitorous greedy employers that are hiring *millions* of these low wage disrespectful criminals...All on the backs of the tax payers, who are now on their knees....

Well... I cut my own grass. And I dam# sure do want the employers punished. Obviously, you can’t go after every Joe Sixpack who gets his trees trimmed.

But the large institutional offenders in the Restaurant and Hotel industries and others like the Construction trades will HAVE to be warned first and then prosecuted.

I mean c’mon you are a Texan. When you drive by construction sites what do you see? Your going to tell me that all those guys are legal? There’s NO WAY they could all be legal.

These Benedict Arnold employers don’t provide them health insurance and then the illegals go to the ER at Parkland
and YOU end up paying for that. You are subsidizing the
employers profit margin by having to pay for these illegals
benefits by your tax dollars.

It ought to be considered Racketeering and prosecuted under the Federal RICO laws.

My father-in-law is in Southern California. He can't hire any person who doesn't look Mexican to do lawn or garden work. But he can and does ask to see their papers. He has yet to offend a single one who is either here legally or was born here.

He also knows enough about the culture to tell which type of people are illegal or would give him phony ID. And, yes, he pays a little extra to follow the rules.
