You and I, the people and the government we elect are to blame. Capitalism demands that the employer hire the cheapest labor that can do the work. There are no meaningful sanctions against the employer so the illegal is the cheapest. Actually, the worker and the employer are encouraged to ignore the law.

I just get tired of folks wanting to put troops at the border to shoot the illegals when they are being hired because our employment laws are not being enforced any better than our borders are being policed.

I hired a lot of people for three different mines. Among them were thousands of Mexican Americans. I am confident I did not hire more than a half dozen illegals. Those were by their successful deception. I would have loved the method of determining legality described in this article. Before that, I worked in the mines. The illegals I worked with had, by the early seventies, become legal immigrants or citizens. In the 60's, the mine adopted the policy of only hiring citizens and legal immigrants. Once that decision was made, it worked very well because, the employment personnel were mostly Hispanic and hard to fool.

You make it sound like I am a communist for my beliefs?

lol Even though youve threatened to shoot me in another thread I wouldnt call you a communist. There are many people to blame for "illegal immigration". The ones, in my opinion, that are the most to blame are the "illegal immigrants".
