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.

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

Adios amigos.

Excellent.

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.

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

"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.

"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.

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!

[Joe Boucher]

This is the only way to stop illegal immigration. Penelize the employer. Dry up the jobs and the flow of illegals will stop

[Kjobs]

This will hurt small business owners, many of whom cannot afford to hire non-illegal American workers. It's an ugly truth but a truth nonetheless.

[ridesthemiles]

I thought it was already a Federal Law that you couldn't hire Illegals.
When I am processing payroll, I have to be very careful that the proper documents are given to me by the applicant.
It may make enforcement easier if there is some local laws, also, and I am in favor of that.
BTW- head to Home Depot first.........

Brooks has to get some traction as it is all but a given that George Wallace, Jr. will be the GOP nominee for Lieutenant-Governor.
