If they’re hiring illegals they should be tough guys behind bars.
This is leaning towards a national database. If the employers are presented with authentic (possibly stolen) papers, then they should not be held accountable. But then you’ll have employers falsifying documents, this happens alot in the construction industry.
I’m torn on this one. However KNOWINGLY hiring illegals, or a high percentage of illegals should be a no brainer, jail.
These business groups should be arrested.
No exceptions.
None!
I want to be clear up front I didn’t read more than the first page of the article although I usually do before posting.
I own a small business in Tucson, Arizona and agree that there is a problem hiring illegals here. And that we need to stop that practice.
What I don’t like is making business owners responsible for border enforcement. If they can’t get here I can’t hire them. As far as I know I’ve never hired an illegal and I never will on purpose. As another insane obstacle here in Arizona (according to my employment agency) I can’t even inquire as to immigration status until AFTER I hire them. Then if they’re a member of some protected minority my company may get sued.
But there are people (insert well-known but unsayable group name here) that are crossing our borders that don’t want jobs; they want jihad and checking a federal database won’t keep them out.
Lie about your employee’s immigration status.
Cheat, undercut your competitor’s costs with illegal immigration.
Steal the identity of an American.
Good. Have them all sign up to complain. Then investigate and start jailing the CEOs.
In 1992 I had the choice of violating every wage,labor.an tax law and staying in business but chose to close a 57 year old firm.
I want to see every employer if illegals in prison and fined the maximum.
It’s personal!!!
These guys love the cheap labor, as long as the taxpayer foots the bill for everything else. Now they are in danger of getting caught and are squealing like stuck pigs. I have zero sympathy for these people.
For the sake of short term profit these people will sell the country out in a second.

Many employers found themselves on the political defensive as they grappled, even in an economic downturn, with shortages of low-wage labor.
There is no shortage of American labor. Unemployment among the 18-25 year olds seeking entry-level jobs is at an all time high, affecting the African American community the most. A recent San Jose Mercury News article cited teens are find it nearly impossible to get summer jobs.
In California, businesses have turned to elected officials, including the Democratic mayor of Los Angeles, to lobby federal immigration authorities against raiding long-established companies.
And who better to lobby than Mayor Villaraigosa, a once proud member of MEChA, a racist organization that calls for the secession of the Southwest U.S.A..
Also in recent months, immigration bills were defeated in Indiana and Kentucky - states where control of the legislatures is split between Democrats and Republicans - owing in part to warnings from business groups that the measures could hurt the economy.
Unless the American middle and working classes are willing to work for Mexican slave wages and accept poverty and obedience as a way of life, it could hurt the economy? It works for me (/sarc)!
