Working link!

Now is not the time to let up. We need to pressure our politicians to enforce the existing immigration laws including deporting illegal aliens, building the fence and prosecuting businesses who do business with illegal aliens. The link below is a ping list to pay attention for other questionable legislation being considered in Congress.

Keeping Track Of The Congress Critters

Exactly. We won’t do things for $6.00 an hour. Nor will we tolerate some of the conditions people make mexicans work.

[ovrtaxt]

This is true. I hire American citizens, but I have competitors who will hire any schlub, illegal, whatever.

I report them too. Not that it does any good...

Personally, I’ve never been impressed with the quality of the illegals’ work. They make too many stupid mistakes, mostly stemming from bad communication skills.

Three other contractors or sub-contractors have called The News-Star during the previous month with the same concerns as Lenard, but none of them would go on the record for fear of losing their remaining work.

They may be surprised at the amount of work Lenard will get because he did come out about this.

Immigration is like an Eastwood film festival.

We started off letting mexicalis in with “A Fist Full of Dollars”, shifted to “For a Few Dollars More”, then to “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” and now we have arrived at “Hang ‘em High”! NO AMNESTY... SECURE THE BORDERS (both of them), and destroy the dim party, once and for all!

Illegal immigration makes me mad for many reasons. On the top of the list is our penalizing the employers and legal immigrants who play by the rules by NOT going after those who don't.

And then to have a supposedly conservative politician like Lindsey Graham get his panties in a knot and say we have to pass the amnesty bill for the economy? What a Loser. It's long past time to clean house, both in DC and in the rest of the country.

"..."jobs Americans won't do"...."

Let's turn that around and talk about all of the 100's of 1000's of jobs that Americans NO LONGER HAVE, because of off-shoring, and illegal worker programs.

Has anyone in the media or government noticed all the down-sizing in recent years? People who have spent 20-30 years in a profession, their pensions ripped away, and having to survive handing out karts in WalMart?

Anyone noticed the massive traffic jams in major cities because local employers like textile, small manufacturers, etc., have been sent abroad?

Folks, the United States government is peeing on our shoes and telling us it's raining. How long will it be before there are not enough jobs for people to buy the goods that are now produced offshore?

Sometimes "full employment" means all the french fry positions are filled at McDonalds.

I personally know several Americans who were carpet and flooring installers, who had to find other jobs because illegals priced them out of the market.

Joe Holyfield of Holyfield Construction said .... that the immigrants' wages aren't that much less than American workers, "but there is an efficiency issue. The immigrants are willing to work 10 and 12 hours a day to get a job done."

I've been in Commercial Construction for 37 years, including that as a Chief Estimator, and that is the STOO-PIDIST statement I've ever heard. There's so much wrong with it I don't know where to start.

[montag813]

I live close to a city which is a sanctuary for illegals. But every single landscaper worker in the neighborhood is white. I guess no one told them they really don’t want to do that job.

[org.whodat]

Contractors do not hire illegals to cut cost. Contractors hire illegals so they make more money.

Demand a border fence! Build it NOW!! Beef up the border patrol and close our borders!
