I saw this report on Channel 8 news last night. I was surprised (and somewhat pleased) by the hard-hitting approach that their reporter used. They were confronting the guys who pick up illegal-immigrant day-laborers (in the illegal-alien pickup zone set up by the city of Stamford) and getting them to admit that they paid the laborers in cash, and did not do payroll tax withholding, and were breaking state and federal laws by doing so. The picture of the mayor's office that they were turned away from made a powerful point, as did their questions of the Stamford police PR guy, who could not give proper answers to their questions...
I seem to remember that besides amnesty our good Senators wanted to give them SS benefits.
