The employers that ignore our laws and continue to hire illegal immigrants are holding the rest of this country hostage. We need to encourage our leaders to stand up to them.

We have been. For years. They don't care. I'm not a big conspiracy fan, but I believe this is one of those areas where some businesses lobbied various people in Washington to look the other way.

The only way anything will be done about this issue, is if we have a major crash or terrorist attack that can be traced back to lax security on our southern border, or hiring of illegals. Even then, the airlines, etc., will be lobbying hard to place the blame elsewhere.

Well, of course, you're absolutely right. These employers may not have much respect for our laws, but they respect political power and they obviously have a lot of clout. That's why it's so hard for some of our leaders to stand up to them. Our leaders need to know that most of the American peoplw will back them in this struggle.

It's about leadership and guts. ;-)

Let's not forget that Linda Daschle is a lobbyist for the airline industry.
