Doug I think its a great idea. I love it when WE can do something other than sit around and complain. I've been a home health nurse for 12+ years. I cannot begin to tally the number of "indigent" patients we've taken on because they were illegal and injured on the JOB... I wish I had this number a few years ago.

The bottom line on the whole immigration issue is enforcing the laws esp holding the businesses accountable. I truly believe THAT is the key. Cut off the money supply - cut off the reason to jump the border. Also by policing businesses for illegals, you would start weeding out the illegals. I realize it's a long process but this did not get to be a problem overnight!

Too bad they werent hurt in CA. The state courts have ruled that illegals injured on the job are entitled to workmens compensation, even if the employer was not paying into the system. Every legal company in California is given a surcharge at the end of the year to make up the shortfall.
