Taking back our country ping.

Bravo!

[mmercier]

A good use of a bad law ping.

I hope it spreads nation wide and they nail them all!

[EagleUSA]

Let's pray it has some effect -- and send some Rolaids to the Crawford Ranch -- they are going need them.

RICO Bump

Taking back our country ping.

One lawsuit at a time!

I think this is the proper approach, since Bush has abdicated responsibility. suing the illegals or even arresting them on immigration violations one at a time (to see them released) is a waste of time. Suing companies under RICO, arresting illegals for trespass or drivers license and insurance violations (confiscating cars), those thing put some bite in the message without having to wait for the INS.

businesses using cheap illegal aliens instead of American young people entering the workforce has drastically affected developing the work ethic that America enjoyed not so long ago.

Cheap illegals are a disservice to America's kids, a point that is never addressed!

by filing a racketeering lawsuit against the businesses that hire these workers.

Sweet! Let's hope it starts a trend!

Why do I doubt that our beloved representatives who hire illegals as housekeepers (etc) will not be subject to enforcement?

[Jimbaugh]

Can we file these suits against cities too.

What we really need to do is throw anyone in jail so sells food to an ILLEAGAL. We can all carry proof of citizenship when ever we go to a restaurant or grocery store, we can present our paperwork.

Those who sell food to ILLEAGALS are just as bad as those who hire them and should be thrown in jail.

When they get hungry enough those ILLEAGALS will go back to where they belong.

I'll second your comment. The RICO law has been seriously abused in this country, but in this case, I'll take it.

I empathize but, like Vasquez' previous ideas, this one has no chance in hell of succeeding.

Great. If something is for the children it has got to be good, well because it's for the children!

RICO laws are ok to misuse because it's for the children. Great.

In judicial matters you do not need to succeed, not when you can tie one party down with such excessive legal bills that the practice or function that caused the initial claim makes the initiating practice or function no longer cost effective to the entity being charged.

In short, Harvard educated lawyers cost a lot more than illegal immigrants to employ in America; and these parties will now need more of the former than the latter to survive as a viable business entity.

So it goes.
