I heard a radio talkshow host(sorry I forgot his name) point something out about the bill that I haven’t heard anywhere else and its important to take in. If all these illegal immigrants get visas then they wont be hireable for the jobs they are currently doing. They are hired for the very reason that they ARE illegal. Businesses don’t want to pay them as much as legal immigrants and they don’t want them on the books like they have to do with legal immigrants and citizens. Having them on the books means the IRS can calculate the payroll budget and see if its in line with gross revenues. If its not, audit time. So even if the illegals get visas, the demand for illegals wont go down. Either the newly legalized immigrants will be told that their pay will have to continue to be “under the table” like its always been or a flood of fresh illegals will step in to take their place.

If they “convert” the ilegals, then the next wave will begin.

All of the current illegals that are made legal will go on the public dole, and start importing their relatives, and a new crop of illegals will take their former jobs.

I just realized something else. If the illegals are foolish enough to get the visas then they WONT be asked by their employers to continue to take their pay under the table because now the businesses will be less inclined to hire them. Hire a recently legalized immigrant and he may turn around and turn you into the IRS for not paying him legitimately especially if you recently fired him and the immigrant has an ax to grind. An illegal immigrant can’t do that. He cant turn to any legal authority for fear of being deported. Better for businesses to play it safe and continue to hire illegal aliens that aren’t covered by the bill’s amnesty. I’m telling you this bill is begging for another 12 million illegals to rush the border to fill the vacuum.

Bottom line is, all we’re doing is just kicking the can a little further down the road. Two years from now, instead of looking for those who are in the country and have no ‘documents’, we’ll be looking for those who got one of the free life-long probationary visas, then never turned up to complete the process. And when the first one is found and scheduled for a deportation hearing, we’ll get the same news stories about ‘families that are being destroyed’, and Congress will change the law. It’s a scam, pure and simple.
