Rod Blagojevich has a new illegal alien give away every other week now.

The Illinois State Police has been starting to shut down Illinois Minuteman Meetings by going to the American Legions and the local Chief of Police and asking them to NOT let the meeting happen.

Immigration Ping.

Since this act will price these workers out of the market, will the governor's next proposal require that construction companines hire non-English-Speaking immigrant workers at the point of a gun?

Appeasing Fox?

I thought the idea of having illegal aliens here was so that we could exploit them. If they're treated well, Americans might want those jobs.

Starting January 1, we are also ensuring that workers are paid no less than the prevailing wage on public works

Uhh ... public works jobs are now employing illegals? Is anyone in Illinois a teensy bit upset about that?

WTF?!?!?!

I guess Rod is part of the building of the "new America" too.

​ ​​​​We are now one of the largest Spanish-speaking nations in the world. We're a major source of Latin music, journalism and culture.

Just go to Miami, or San Antonio, Los Angeles, Chicago or West New York, New Jersey ... and close your eyes and listen. You could just as easily be in Santo Domingo or Santiago, or San Miguel de Allende.

For years our nation has debated this change -- some have praised it and others have resented it. By nominating me, my party has made a choice to welcome the new America.

This may be a play for the illegal alien vote. Certainly it's a play for the bleeding heart leftist vote and the Hispanic vote.

But it may also be a favor to the labor unions. If you put through minimum wages and other benefits for illegals, you reduce the difference in pay from legal workers, and maybe reduce the number of illegal, non-union workers.

Either that, or maybe they will unionize the illegals.

This really isn't a move to benefit illegal aliens. Though it looks that way and has all the political impact.

What it really does is further union interests. Bet your bottom dollar union wages will be the "prevailing wages" and that this will be applied not just to illegals but legal citizens working outside a union.

So you have to pay union wages whether or not you hire union folks and if you don't the unions rat you out and the machine fines your business into extinction.

It's the same in California. Most of the Mexican-American legislators encourage more illegal immigration from Mexico. I won't vote for anyone with a hispanic name without first researching their stance on illegal immigration.

Blago's linked to the "Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights" which recently released a DVD of illegal aliens working in a store owned by challenger Jim Oberweis. It looks like a setup.

Governor Blagojevich should be charged with conspiracy to commit tax evasion. These illegals pay NO taxes but consume the services paid for by other hard working US citizens that play by the rules. This whole illegal invasion issue will come to a head this year. Traitorous politicians that have sold out the American middle class worker will be dealt with at the polls.
