First Hand - I live in a packing plant town. I remember when the jobs paid $15-18 dollars per hour. This was back in the eighties. After using illegal labor to break the union these jobs start at $10-12 dollars per hour. Now will someone please tell me what benfits these illegals bring to our country. If Migra would just perch on the door-steps of these packing plants and enforce the laws on the books a man could make a "family supporting wage" once again in this industry. Americans will do this work for a fair and equitable wage. I will gladly pay more for my chicken sandwich if you just send the damn illegals home.
My suggestion on an earlier Post dealing with Immigration:
Bush and Rove may both feel they have Political Capitol to spend here on this Border Control and Immigration Policy. We must make sure they know without a doubt They are FLAT BROKE when it comes to these two issues!
Control the Borders, Walls, Fences, Entances, Computer Databases, Application for Immigration. Control, Control, Control!!! Hunt down and Deport Illegal Aliens!! There is no other way! The southern border and the Northern Border.
If we can spend Billions on the Iraqis and protecting them, 350 million in Aid for Asia, we can control our borders, the way they should be controlled and hunt down illegal Aliens and deport them. Put a $500.00 dollar bounty on their A$$ES and Big Fines on companies or anyone who hides and Illegal alien.
It wont take long to track them down, put them on a bus and send them home. Make sure we charge their Home Country for their tickets home too along with any medical and food bills! If the Mother and/or father is illegal, the child is illegal. Regardless if they were born on US soil or not.
Change the law so that the children of illegal aliens are illegal. Parents must be naturalized Citizens of the US
I can remember when Iowa Beef had recruiters scouring under the bridges for homeless people, because they couldn't hire enough people.
