I wonder if we are being blackmailed into accepting, in exchange for Border Security, a "COMPREHENSIVE" 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 and SEVERE PENALTIES of RICO lawsuits?
Maybe the RUSH to pass something in the next few weeks is because the current Senate bill even has a provision that provides 'amnesty' for prior acts by employers of illegals.

There's no doubt in my mind that big business has finally awoken to the fact that they are at the end of the plank from both a moral and legal standpoint on this issue and that they stand to lose much more than hiring illegals has saved them over the years.
Despite some who claim this is just another conspiracy theory if you look at it from an administration standpoint the possibly consequences are such that there will be something in this legislation that forgives illegal hiring by corporations.
Without an amensty for the corporations as well they will still be liable for damages basd on past illegal acts.
In other words the RICO statutes won't stop applying just because a guest worker program is created.
It's time to read the fine print.
