PING!
Lets find a sympathetic exception to make a rule with!?!?
Guess I'll just pay more for chicken.
This is called propaganda.
How about a couple of bucks an hour? Law of supply and demand.
KSL sucks! The guy knew what the situation was before he even stepped into the military. Now he gets to suffer, I may be a hateful conservative, but I'm an objective hateful conservative. Get the illegals out. No more baby rats on my dime.

Linda is always chewing at the edge of the issue.
What ever happened to upholding the law ?? That would have solved the problem of illegals a long time ago -- thank you Washington, DC.
From: http://www.sptimes.com/News/011001/Worldandnation/Illegal_hiring_goes_o.shtml
Linda Chavez withdrew as President-elect George W. Bush's nominee for secretary of labor on Tuesday. She was under fire for providing housing and cash to an illegal immigrant who did chores in Chavez's home, although she denies she was paying for housework.
According to reports, Marta Mercado, an illegal immigrant from Guatemala, lived with Chavez from 1991 to 1993. Chavez also referred the immigrant to a neighbor who gave her a regular babysitting job.
It appears that Linda is afraid of losing more of the cheap labor to clean her home.
"....you've just given a year and a half of your life to serving your country in Iraq and come home to find that your pregnant wife..."
faux pas, Linda?
No, it representa a failure of Mr. Thorsted to legalize his wife after marrying her. While I sympathize with his plight, I also had a daughter born in Japan and had to kill a day going to the Embassy in Tokyo to show her birth certificate, my wife's marriage certificate and pay the fees for her birth certificate and passport. In retrospect, it was a rather cheap price for U.S. citizenship.
It also represents a failure of the bureaucracy (and enabling legislation from congress) to distinguish between genuinely needy cases like the Thorsteds and your run-of-the-mill line jumper who has no loyalty to this country (as demonstrated by Mr. Thorsted's military service) and no ties to any American citizen except to use them as an ATM.
Yea, notice how she conveniently leaves out the amount they had been paying.
It's also not surprising that since they had been employing an illegal work force willing to work for very little, that there wasn't a large pool of legal workers sitting around, waiting to get a job.
A large plant paying low wages for unskilled labor isn't going to attract a lot of new workers to the area.
I don't know that there's an easy solution, but continuing to reward hiring illegal workers isn't the right solution.
*cough*
Linda Chavez is an idiot, who harbored an illegal alien herself.
What's so hard about getting married BEFORE you have the baby?
Linda has no answer.
well, we could cut the easy entitlements programs that allow American citizens and aliens "legally" and "illegally" present in America to live off the taxpayers......it would shake up the economy for awhile, but it would in short order restore the work ethic in America.
