181 - "Actually, there was. The jobs will now be covered under our labor laws."

LOL - Have you ever read our labor laws? I have. There are so many exemptions, the only thing they actually cover is workers under either 6 or 9 years old, and ski lift operators at one federal ski lift in Whyoming.

(I am not joking - I tried to sue a few years ago and researched the laws).

Now, if you are sex or color or handicapped or etc.... they can be sued, but not for labor laws.

At least they would be covered under min wage and tax rules.

The vast majority of their current employers will dissapear and so will the demand.

Buh Bye illegals crossing for cash and carry jobs.

That was my point. That is why they come, because there is a great demand.

Kill the demand and you regain control of the process.

The devil is in the details, as I said and I am for doing something like this if they do not muck it up as they are prone to do.

This will take a couple years to work through and if it does not pass muster with the American public, it will not pass. If they muck it up and not rewrite the entire code, I would not be for it.

The courts screwed the 86 ideas because of loopholes in the code. That is why they gave up trying to procecute businesses. They cannot get a conviction and when they do it costs big bucks.
