I’m not buying the ‘business wants this’ argument for the simply reason I’ve never read of a single business that supports it.

Never. Anywhere. At any time.

I’m a business owner, with holdings in multiple states. Thats absolutely positively never once come up in any context.

And I’ll note nobody has ever identified a single company that does.

Beware anonymous claims folks. Haven’t the past seven years or so taught us that lesson?

Try the National Chamber of Commere

How about these businesses?

[ClaireSolt]

I agree with you. Very few businesses can actually use these people, and big corps don’t think it is worth the risk, as they have deep pockets. Most of these people are off the books self-employed.

While I think you have a reasonable point about making sure that ones claims are backed up, there certainly are at least some businesses (particularly in agriculture) that want this.

Tyson, for one.

And the national Chamber of Commerce has actively lobbied in favor of "comprehensive immigration reform".

Certainly, you would agree that somebody is driving this train.

"...To me that says something far more ominous than that Congress is being disingenuous or naïve on the matter. Far from simple being empty promises, this amnesty bill is actually a blatant attempt to head off any attempts at enforcement at all. After all, states and cities can’t deny services or enforce laws against illegals if the government makes them all legal..."

Same gig, and I'm not buyin' it either, Badeye. It's a bogus argument, but it leaves the question - why-in-hell is Bush pushing so hard?

I suggest you call up old Don Tyson in NW Arkansas - the largest Poultry producer in the US - and one of the biggest employers of illegals in the country.... It is my understanding that he is 100% in favor of amnesty (and is also speculated to be the reason Mike Huckabee is so much in love with Illegals...)

I live in a lawn service neighborhood. I'm one of the very few residents who actually own and use a lawnmower. Everyone else pays someone else to do it. I have noted that, this year, most of the crews on the trucks are Mexicans, often times including the boss/driver.

As an aside, I believe that LaRaza and the "caliphate" have a lot in common as regards the US and it ain't good.
