If your business model requires that you break the law and become a tax cheat, you should not be in business.

Actually the govt. does that, I'm for getting out of good businesses way, and not put more restrictions on them as the democrats and also it seems you want to do.

- Sens. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., and John Cornyn, R-Texas, are backing a plan that would force undocumented workers to first return to their home country to apply for a guest worker permit.

BINGO!

Kick the people off of welfare that are able to work, let them work in the farms and work their way back into society. Those are the people that once filled the jobs that the illegals are now doing. While we are at it, make the child labor laws go away, allow parents to decide when it is OK for their kids to work, and how many hours.

I abhor any market manipulation.

Good for you. There are plenty of employers who want to hire mexican guest workers. Only the govt. manipulation by imposing a border is stopping the willing mexican workers from the jobs that are waiting.

The market is also saying that govt. taxes, welfare and regulations on labor have priced much citizen labor out of the market in favor of migrants/illegals from mexico.

Join me in the fight to get rid of the irs and substitute a sales tax and reduce welfare and labor law regulation.

One law that should be immediately passed is a lifetime max cap on govt. aid and a 3 year exemption from all taxes and labor laws to anyone moving from welfare to work.

Who exactly are these businesses and what are the jobs that 'need' foreign employees?

Any American business that pays minimum wage or above.
Don't forget, Dubya spent the first 40 years of his life curled up inside a beer bottle,
received a rubber stamp MBA, and accepted an entry level position on the board of directors of his own oil company. He honestly believes that other Americans are fat and lazy, and need to become "more competitive" by slaving at Third World compensation levels. To that end, he'll do whatever it takes to flood our domestic market with immigrant labor and export our industries offshore.

Maybe that's why so many of the expensive homes around here have problems soon after they are built

That is pure heresay on your part, but I do know of a $6 billion work project that was built with high wage American union labor and now it is leaking and the govt. can't assure it's safety, The big dig in Boston.

Artificially increasing the labor market by employing illegals is market manipulation.

Some might call that protectionism. For example, declaring car imports "illegal alien automobiles" might be contrued as protectionism.

Or Artificially decreasing the labor market by barring willing workers from mexico could also be called market manipulation.

The minimum wage act is the ultimate in market manipulation.

My observation exactly, when is the last time he faced people that are not constrained by court martial, if they don't "show respect, and cheer"?

Since it's unclear where you are from (Mexico?) - come on over to Arizona and talk to the homeowners around here so it won't be "heresay." Did you mean to say "hearsay"?

Otherwise shouldn't we import about a half billion Chinese

In a way we are doing that. Only instead of bring them here to work in garment and electronics factories, we are sending the garment and electronics factories there and importing the goods instead as the market has deemed this is the more efficient method.

Fine, I don't doubt that some houses have problems, but you didn't back your statement up with an empirical evidence, just your hearsay, while I did back up my statement with empirical evicence, a 6 billion dollar project(Boston's big dig), built with American union labor, is now leaking and the govt. can't assure it's safety.

What amount of pay is going to motivate a lard-assed welfare parasite to go out and pick grapes?

I don't know what amount of pay it would take, but hunger would be a real good motivator. Plus I see people paying for groceries all the time with food stamps. They often have hair extensions, fancy manicures, bling, and drive off in very nice, late-model vehicles. What if we cut off their benefits so they could no longer buy all that stuff? They'd darn well work.

There's no excuse for shoddy work especially when others are footing the bill. Either way, it's our tax money that ends up supporting these projects - be they built by unions or illegal aliens.

The Ohio State University just opened it's new gym built with prevailing wage all union, all american, all citizen labor at a cost of 120 million.

It is 2 months old and the lower level gym housing 4 basket ball courts has been closed due to a water leak and they are now replacing the floor. The showers have had a hot water problem now for about 1 week.

They should be taking more cold showers anyway.

Hah! Tell that to the people at GM who are losing their jobs along with the couple of hundred thousand each year to outsourcing. They gotta do something. So, they'll open up a dunkin' donuts and hire some illegals to make money. It's the new American way.
