It`s illegal to hire foreigners who are in the USA illegally so therefore illegal to pay them a dime.

Hole in one!

Full remarks by Labor Secretary Solis to UAW
The Detroit News

U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis spoke to the United Auto Workers convention today. Her prepared remarks:

The UAW has been actively involved in the struggle for civil rights, women’s rights, voting rights, and the Fair Housing Act.

Today, you are fighting for better schools for our kids, pensions for retirees, clean air and water, tougher workplace health and safety standards, stronger worker’s compensation and unemployment insurance laws and fairer taxes.

And you were instrumental in helping us get health insurance reform passed!

Because of your efforts, millions of Americans and their families will no longer be denied coverage because pre-existing conditions.

This bill will help my father and other seniors by closing the Medicare Part D doughnut hole.

These are issues that I have fought for my entire career.

You see, like many of you I come from a union home.

My parents showed me the value of a hard day’s work ... they taught me to fight against injustices in the workplace and in my community.

I am proud to be the daughter of a Teamster Shop Steward and a Steel Worker.

I am proud to have walked the picket line, proud to have fought for workers and women’s rights, and I am proud and humbled to be your labor secretary.

I don’t have to tell you that there were and unfortunately still are millions of workers and their families struggling in one of the most difficult economic situations that our nation has confronted.

The Great Recession, as some are calling it, had a severe impact on far too many families across the country.

But, thanks to President Obama, he pushed for the Recovery Act, which helped us gain 431,000 jobs last and lowered the unemployment rate from 10 percent to 9.7 percent.

This marks the fifth straight month that we have had job growth.

Illegals HAVE NO RIGHTS TO ANYTHING EXCEPT A JAIL CELL AND A DEPORTATION HEARING.

AND THE COMMIES CAN LEAVE NOW ALSO. America is NOT socialist.
Move to Cuba.

Well, no.

They'd first have to have a right to be working here.

I saw this coming 5 years ago.

NOW maybe the big companies who “employ” illegals will have a reason to seal the border.

Wait till they demand reparations for white men getting rich on the backs of Mexicans.

Where do these people get this stuff? It is illegal for them to be in our country. Ergo it is illegal to hire such illegals in the first place. The entire Federal System, has gone nuts. What ever happened to common sense.??

Rights without responsibilities, like the responsibility to obey the laws of the land, that’s what the Obama administration specializes in.

Interesting point, if we are not paying a fair wage now for illegal labor, why do we have so many illegals coming here to be underpaid? Unionistas have funny logic, don’t they.
