[Ursus arctos horribilis]

You can't sell cigarettes or booze to anyone underage. The store owners knowing they can be fined, lose their license, or, go to jail, have no problems in asking people for proof of age with a proper ID.

Employers on the cheap use silly excuses because, they are just employers on the cheap, who do not give a damned for the countries welfare over their profits.

Hey. Be nice. I'm not on the cheap. In fact I no longer manage a vineyard and am self employed. I do care for my country. I'm a former Marine. By the way, there are many foreign nationals serving in our military.

I am offended by the idea that we can continually burden retailers and businesses with more and more compliance issues. It isn't right. Taxes were not terribly burdensome to begin with, now most must hire professionals to do the work. It is that way in business too.

Does a business's wages encourage illegal immigration? Maybe. But I can say the same about your consumer dollar. What about me employing someone who does bad things with the wages, like funding the DNC? Am I not encouraging such activity by gainfully employing them? Punish the crime, illegal immigration. Stop them at the border.
