For example, his "flawed verification system" strawman says, "Currently, nearly 13 million citizens and legal immigrants are looking for jobs. Almost eight million illegal immigrants hold them."
Strawmam #1: Somehow the illegals are in the driver's seat over who gets to do the hiring, and who gets to be the employee. American employers are apparently helpless to prevent themselves from hiring illegals in preference to Americans....
The Flawed Verification System Straw Man consistently claims that he understands the link between illegal immigration and the ability of illegal immigrants to gain employment, yet he opposes efforts to help employers comply with the law.
Strawman #2 says "gaining employment" is somehow the illegals' fault, and that American employers want to hire legals, but somehow just can't seem to figure out how to comply with the law....
Sorry, Mr. Smith -- you need to think a little more deeply about the nature of the illegal immigration problem. First hint: Americans are the ones handing out the money....
If you are saying that we should be pointing the finger a businesses and indiviguals that hire illegals, then I think you are preaching to the choir here for most of the people who are for stricter boarder control and enforcement of our immigration laws. The biggest dissenters are the libertarian anti E-verify crowd on FR.
I'll admit American consumers are in the dark when it comes to knowing where, how and by whom their products and produce come from but, I'm an not going to take a fall for unscrupulous employers.
