Yeah. It is pablo's fault you people in CA have the most stupid and asinine WC program in existence. Look, the loons have been running CA for so many years that they have built insane regulatory and insurance environments. It is REASONABLE to expect that business owners would seek to escape the onerous and idiotic red tape that people live under. Illegal hires are the REAL market, not the contrived and fake junk that can be propped up only by paying artisans 50K a year the way you did (you stated in an earlier post that you paid 30 dollars an hour in 1992 to your employees, plus benefits. That equals over $60,000 a year. There has never been a carpenter, hvac man, plumber, or roofer BORN who is worth that much money. You want to pay those kind of outrageous wages and then bitch when the Mexicans undercut you, then rant away.
Every employer that hires an illegal belongs in prison, here's hoping you become one of them.
You want to pay for a corrupt kleptocracy, then allow Mexicans to cross the border unimpeded. This is what our country will become if we don't control the border:
"MEXICO CITY - Last year, a member of Mexico City's legislature was videotaped accepting a bribe. The brother of a former president is widely assumed to have built a $100 million fortune through influence peddling.
"In 1997, the head of the country's drug interdiction office was dismissed - for involvement in drug trafficking. Those and other examples illustrate the perennial stigma of Mexico, considered one of the most corrupt countries in the hemisphere.
"The recent furor over a video in which four enforcers for the Gulf cartel are interrogated and one is executed has sharply refocused attention on corruption.
"The men on the video suggested links between drug traffickers and the government, and authorities have conceded that federal law enforcement officials and perhaps current or former members of the military may have been involved in torturing the four men and making the video."
Yes. Pablo and the generations of anchor babies who elected those socialist politicians.
Just like in Mexico. The illegal economy is the real economy. That's called corruption.
