Perhaps you're right, but answer me this: do you think the company is just going to eat the cost and not pass it on to consumers? History is an excellent indicator that the consumers will bear the brunt of this free ride the illegal alien is getting.
If this had happened to an American in Mexico, what do you think the American would get? Answer me that.
One business passing the cost on to it's consumers or going under does not concern me as much as the cost being spread out among many business owners- the majority who don't even hire illegals.
I don't think any of this is right. I think we should build a major barrier on the border, keep the illegals out and punish those who do hire illegals now. I also think we need to make sure illegals are not able to use any of our give-away programs.
I think if all of the above were accomplished, we would then find illegals had cost this country much more than they had contributed to our economy.
As things are now, I think those who hire them should have to pay the price when things don'e go well. Not the rest of us.
