"Personally I think anyone injured by an illegal alien should try to sue the company that hired them."
I pulled this up and added it to 'immigration' because I saw a post by a friend of JP's on another thread that brought up the possibility of a connection between a soon to be made Decision on the Mowhawk case/RICO and what I, and apparently many others, have been perceiving as a very odd rush to pass an immigration bill, literally, in the next two weeks. JP, I think your friend may have hit the nail on the head as to WHY.
Prior to Bush's speech, I know I've questioned why:
- The borders have remained unsecured.
- after 20 some years and 5 years post 9/11, the timing NOW of needing to make a decision about such a controversial and devisive issue just before an extremely crucial election
- D.C. barely acknowledging and allowing, on more than one occassion, 10s of thousands of illegals, in numbers greater than local LE can hande and at risk to our national security, to take to the streets, close down major cities and threaten to shut down the country in an effort to intimidate our lawmakers into giving into their demands.
- May 1 shutdowns of major companies who employ illegals, but no enforcement action taken against them
- Show and Tell 'enforcement' arrests, but catch and release
- Almost bizarre and repeated denials that the 'earned' amnesty plan is amnesty.
- etc.
And then,
- Sudden need to send NG to enforce border security, but doesn't give them enforcement responsibility.
- In his speech, Bush's very illogical statement, "To secure our border, WE MUST create a temporary worker program", said in an effort to 'marry' and convince us that border security is absolutely dependent on amnesty.
- Kennedy then making the same case yesterday. It's like a three legged stool, must have all three in order to work, border security, amnesty, and enforcement of laws, blah, blah, blah, shouting down anyone who said otherwise.
- the Senate voting down an attempt to separate them...unbelievably, NO BORDER SECURITY WITHOUT GUEST WORKER.
I wonder if we are being blackmailed into accepting, in exchange for Border Security, a package that includes amnesty for BOTH the illegals and their employers, because, among other things, once a guest worker program is in place, the illegals are no longer illegal, and the employers are off the hook from threats of RICO lawsuits?
JP's friend said that the current Senate bill even has a provision that provides 'amnesty' for prior acts by employers of illegals. Under RICO, imagine the fines and sentences for heads of corporations like TYSON FOODS, PURDUE, MOWHAWK, etc. Remember wondering WHY nothing was done after May 1 shutdowns when it was clear to everyone that they were hiring illegals?
