Employers who knowingly hire illegals who subsequently kill American citizens should be charged with felony murder.
_____________________________________________________

Generally, I don’t like this shifting of the blame to employers. It is far too difficult, given the PC atmospherics, for employers to ascertain the status of applicants these days—they can be sued for even asking in some cases.

Anything that shifts the blame away from a government that has been negligent simply aids the cause of illegals in the end. Plus, blaming “employers” has been a nice smoke-screen defense for the Left—a place they can wriggle to and change the subject. Employers have no authority over the border or lax visa systems, weak enforcement, catch-and-release, etc. Conversely, they don’t write the EEOC rules and all the other regs they have to comply with.

Blaming employers, in a sense, is like blaming the murder victim for not having a gun to shoot back with. In the end, you find out that it was the government who took the gun away from the victim.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If government were doing its job, employers wouldn’t have to be unpaid police!

My VISA card company will call me within 5 minutes of even one unusual purchase, therefore the technology exists to determine who is a citizen and who isn’t.

At traffic stops, a policeman should be able to determine within minutes the true status of a license and and social security. If found false, these people should be deported within the week.

Ditto for ALL social welfare programs.

Ditto for schools! If a child is not a **legal** resident, then he is **not** a resident! He is an illegal squatter!

Ditto for all hospitals accepting government welfare. The patient needs to be stabilized and deported within the week!

And,,,When an employer finds a false social security number, the police should pick these people within minutes! Deportation should follow within the week. What steams me, is when employers DO find illegal the government does NOTHING about it!!! These illegals go from employer to employer hoping to snooker some poor employer into hiring him!

An employer can verify ss#’s for any employee for free on the IRS website. if the name doesn’t match the ss#, it’s a real good indication that someone isn’t legal.

You may have misunderstood what I meant. The employer should be charged with felony murder, not for actually commiting the murder. That charge should be brought aginst the illegal.

Felony murder charges are brought against all of those involved in a crime, such as a robbery gone wrong, that involves the murder of an innocent person, even though only one person actually committed the murder.
