re: Lieutenant governor candidate Morris "Mo" Brooks is pushing a bill that would make it a crime for employers to hire illegal aliens. It also provides financial incentives for whistle-blowers to turn in violators.)))

Bump!

Wasn't it in Alabama where an illegal alien managed to get "lifetime compensation" from a construction company? I always wanted to get the details of that, and find out how it connected with Workmen's Comp--or whether the judgement was outside the purview of WC.

[Mulch]

Nothing would please me more than to see these employers in handcuffs being carted away to jail. And the sooner the better.

[cripplecreek]

Adios amigos.

[SC33]

Excellent.

[Navy Patriot]

Interesting, although it may be designed to fail.

I wonder why no one proposes a law making it a felony to have an illegal alien as a member of a labor union? Same penalties, jail for the union bosses, ect.

I'm not yet convinced that the President is serous about addressing this problem at the federal level, but the various state and local governments can and should. I've often seen moonbat lefties sporting bumper stickers on their crappy cars that say - "If the people lead, then the leaders will follow". Of course, they're promoting their dingbat ideas, but we can and should co-opt that approach and use it to our own ends.

Adios amigos.

I prefer ¡Adios extranjero ilegal!

I would ABSOLUTELY love to see a similar law in Texas.

Nor should you be. The President and his staff, and even the head of the RNC, are all talking amnesty for illegals and only faking any moves to secure the border and deport illegals.

It pains me to say that the bigwigs at the DNC and RNC are both intent on selling America out to Mexico. They don't give a good gosh darn what Americans want.

This is why the RNC is getting nothing but Nada Pesos from me and mine until they straighten up and do the right thing.

There has been an old saw that goes *I must hurry for there they go, and I am their leader*. I believe it applies well in this case. The people have certainly been leading their leaders on the illegal immigration issue

Double dittos for Kollyfornyuh!

"Exceptions are made for small, temporary jobs such as a homeowner hiring a yard man."

So the parking lots will be full of Illegals. Good, easier to round them up. Bad, things could get uglier as Illegals compete for these "yard man" jobs.

[diverteach]

Good for Alabama, double bad for Florida as Latino wedded Jeb would never sign off on such a bill. So, many of those illegals now in Alabama will be moving here to Florida.

"In a typical situation where someone hires a subcontractor and that sub winds up having an illegal alien on that crew, who's committing the felony?"

The sub.

[NY Attitude]

If you hire a subcontractor, they are responsible for all things and persons (including subs to the subcontractor)performing on a contract.

[Hardastarboard]

In a typical situation where someone hires a subcontractor and that sub winds up having an illegal alien on that crew, who's committing the felony?

Geez, I'm not a lawyer and I can answer that question, dumb@$$. The sub-contractor. Nice try at a red herring.

"If illegal aliens can't get jobs in Alabama, illegal aliens who are here will leave and illegal aliens who aren't here won't come. It's just that simple"

If only our national Republican leadership could understand this simple logic. Actually, I think they do understand this logic, but they simply don't care.

Now you're talking BUMP!
