Glenn Beck wants to choke companies to death

CNN Transcripts ^ | August 23, 2006 | Glenn Beck

[Dane]

Mike Hethmon, he is with the Immigration Reform Law Institute. He`s one of the groups backing the California lawsuit.

Mike, thank you for doing this. I`ve been saying for a long time, "Choke these companies to death." Give me the lawsuit in a nutshell and the chances of it actually winning.

[MikefromOhio]

If the companies can't survive without illegal labor, they shouldnt' be in business in the first place.

[taxed2death]

GREAT NEWS!
Go after the scumbag tax cheats and illegal businesses!

I LOVE it!

Let's even the playing field and make everyone play by the same rules. This is capitalism at it's BEST.

Only the STRONG survive.....let the scumbags wither and die on the illegal vine.

[TC Builders]

Oh - Insane Dane, are you getting worried about being hit with a big law suit.

[Dane]

How many illegals are you hiring these days, Dane?

None, also I don't want to see farmers and contractors "choked to death" as the American health system has by the ambulance chasers.

[MikefromOhio]

If they can't do their job without illegal labor, to hell with them.

[taxed2death]

"And a farmer is the moral equivalent of a crack dealer, how?"


A farmer who hires illegals and a crack dealer? They're both scumbags who are breaking the law.

[Dane]

If the companies can't survive without illegal labor, they shouldnt' be in business in the first place.

And a farmer hiring a guy named Jose is evil how, and he also should be lawsuited to death.

[calcowgirl]

Makes perfect sense! This sounds pro-LAW ABIDING business to me.

BECK: ... Businesses who are playing by the rules are now suing competitors who hire illegals because they have an unfair advantage over them. Mike Hethmon, he is with the Immigration Reform Law Institute. He`s one of the groups backing the California lawsuit.

Mike, thank you for doing this. I`ve been saying for a long time, "Choke these companies to death." Give me the lawsuit in a nutshell and the chances of it actually winning.

MIKE HETHMON, IMMIGRATION REFORM LAW INSTITUTE: In this lawsuit, we have a legitimate labor contractor, a guy that recruits through our H-2a program, guest workers from foreign countries, follows all the rules, brought them up to California, and was told they couldn`t pick grapes fast enough. And who replaced them? Scofflaw agricultural contractors hiring illegal aliens.

So this suit was brought under the unfair competition or the unfair business practices laws in California and is asking for damages. And damages are the only way that we are going to show these scofflaw employers how this situation needs to unfold.

(snip)

HETHMON: We have a choice. We can follow the American model or we can follow the Brazilian model. We can do things for ourselves, and this is what this lawsuit is all about.

Most businesses are, in fact, law-abiding, and they want to do the right thing, and they want to uphold all the laws.

This thread seems a bit misleading?

And in California, that`s exactly what`s happening. Businesses who are playing by the rules are now suing competitors who hire illegals because they have an unfair advantage over them. Mike Hethmon, he is with the Immigration Reform Law Institute. He`s one of the groups backing the California lawsuit.

Mike, thank you for doing this. I`ve been saying for a long time, "Choke these companies to death." Give me the lawsuit in a nutshell and the chances of it actually winning.

Beck was for going after companies that illegally hire illegals. He didn't say anything about "choking companies to death" in general.

Hello,

OMG, you are still at it! Are you an illegal? Any family that are? Hire illegals? What is with you?

It's not whether or not it's evil, it's that the practice is ILLEGAL. What don't you understand about the concept Dane?

[Hoboto]

And you know they are not paying taxes how?

Easy. By paying day laborers "under the table" in cash. It happens every day.

[MikefromOhio]

well of course it's misleading, look who posted it.

[cripplecreek]

All I know is that if I'm ever injured by an illegal alien and I find the company that hired them, I'll be getting a lawyer who will go after that company for the big payout.

[Gabz]

Huh using rhetoric such as "choking these businesses(mostly farmers and contractors) to death" is not anti-business?

It's not where I live. The conglomerate farmers and contractors that utilize the practice of hiring the illegals are putting the small guys who don't right out of business. I see it on a daily basis.

[Dane]

HETHMON: We have a choice. We can follow the American model or we can follow the Brazilian model

Hmm, micromanaging business by govt. and nuisance lawsuits sounds like the Brazilian model to me.

[taxed2death]

"And a farmer hiring a guy named Jose is evil how, and he also should be lawsuited to death."

He's only "eeeeeeviiiiillll" if Jose is illegal.

:)

...in which case....sue his ass into oblivion.

Maybe he'll come around and hire LEGAL workers.....but I doubt it.
Too bad.

[Dane]

It's not whether or not it's evil, it's that the practice is ILLEGAL. What don't you understand about the concept Dane?

Uh yes it is about if a business is evil or not. Is farming inherantly evil and should a trial lawyer be sicked on a farmer trying to get his product to market.

[MikefromOhio]

Uh yes it is about if a business is evil or not.

Well you can equate illegal activity to EVIL activity. Again from previous threads to this one, you seem to have a serious problem grasping this concept. You know, laws and such.

Is farming inherantly evil and should a trial lawyer be sicked on a farmer trying to get his product to market.

Again if they can't do it legally, they take the chance of having to deal with whatever else comes down the pike. Again I point you to the concept laws and RIGHT vs. WRONG. You don't seem to understand.

[taxed2death]

"Huh using rhetoric such as "choking these businesses(mostly farmers and contractors) to death" is not anti-business?"

Nope.....it is PRO LEGAL business......

Fantastic!

Some one is finally standing up for legitimate business owners!



Yiiiipppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
