My Way News reports of widespread fears among illegal immigrants that massive random busts are on the way, prompting many illegals to stay home. The resulting outcry from business owners that use illegal labor has been loud. From the article:
"Everybody's edgy," said Chris Ruske, owner of a southern New Jersey nursery. "There's an awful lot of rhetoric, and you wonder what's true. You wonder if the immigration Gestapo are coming to get you."

"Mexican nationals" is exactly what they are, twidle. They are here illegally, subject to criminal sanctions, but they have the temerity to demand amnesty and they say if they don't get it they are going to boycott "gringo" industries, with the implicit threat of further actions.
Consider this: you, me and several hundred other Freepers travel to Tijuana. We notify the press that we are going to boycott their "greaser" tourist industry if they don't accede to our demands, free: pinatas, sombreros, photos w/ their `zebra' burros, and `dates' with their virgin madres.
And all the while we're waving Old Glory and chanting: `Chingamos los Mexicanos!'"
How long do you think that would last?
I think we all realize that there's going to be some pain involved in closing off the illegal labor supply to those who've come to depend on it. "
Aren't there many many people who've applied to get into the country LEGALLY? It would seem to me that if there aren't enough americans available to do the jobs, there must be many who've been waiting a long time to get in that might be willing, especially if the employers are forced to pay a decent wage. I remember seeing that homeless advocate in California, a black man, talk about how desparately jobs are needed there for the homeless but they are being taken by illegals. And what about those on unemployement and welfare. Assign a job, decent pay and benefits to each of them. Work or nothing. Think of the money saved!
<< It appears that a huge part of the problem is businesses that knowingly use illegals, and in their arrogance, they're complaining about the pressure that's making their $2 an hour labor dissapear. >>
Everyone is stupid beyond hope and probably certifiably retarded who still believes the demanded "comprehensive"
"immigration" "reform" / AMNESTY is even remotely about turning a blind eye to the presense in our midst of perhaps 35 and soon to be 100 million -- United States of America's feral gummint incited, encouraged, aided, abetted, financed, facilitated and obscenely corrupt State Department, Justice, INS and ICE Trojan-Horsed-in -- criminal aliens and their extended families.
The amnesty is being purchased -- of their owned operated and controlled un-and-anti-American and/or useful idiot feral gummint politician and obscenely corrupt-mobbed-up-unionized permanent bureaucracy cohorts -- by such of America's foreign and domestic enemies as the likes of America's "farmer," corporations; by such others as the slaughterhouse owners, Archer Daniel Midlands, Tyson Chickens et al -- and by such dedicated enemies of America as are found among the extended organized crime families that comprise the Rich/Soros/Moscow/IRA/PLO/Hamas/Socialist Internationale/Modern "Democrats" any-enemy-of-America-is-my-friend manifestations of evil.
The amnesty is for the extended foreign and domestic enemy gangs' crime families and to Hell with the seen-only-in-the-abstract criminal alien invaders.
And especially to Hell with you and me, with my America!
And with the very Human Civilization our beloved FRaternal Republic has long vanguarded and must forever guard!
New subject: Current polls show that single issue candidates running on the single issue of securing America's sovereign borders and dealing with the criminal alien invasion will take 30+% of the congressional vote!
What are we waiting for??
This is exactly the point being made among Tyson management, Cargill management and many others all over the country.(In private)
The fact is these folks have been doing this work for years, flying under the radar.
I know it's fashionable here to think that these folks are taking jobs from Americans, but I don't see this massive movement of young Americans heading from the mall, or NFL draft parties to ask Tyson for a job.
I don't have any immigrants working for me, but I know a lot of folks who do, and I've met many of these employees.
They tend to live in small houses or apartments, and they live together to save expenses, and they want to feed their kids, and they want their kids to have a better life. Just like all people.
I totally support enforcing existing immigration law, and cracking down hard on employers, but I admire the work ethic I see with many of the immigrant laborers that I meet, and the fact is most of them have more in common with my long time American ancestors, than the average mall rat who is getting a tan, or a piercing somewhere painful.
I'm gonna spend 5-600 bucks on monday. Been saving up the needs : )
"but I admire the work ethic "
75%.......the other 25% are CRIMINALS!
How long do you think America will last with 25% criminals??
The illegals are running scared. They've heard rumors and are paranoid. Michelle Malkin posted this e-mail that was distributed as a warning for them, today...

Someone has convinced them that WE, the European invaders of THEIR country, are a serious threat to them. Come Monday it seems they will be 'prepared'. God help local law enforcement if things get violent and shame on our government for allowing these invaders to announce that they will gather in masses large enough to take over major cities, shut down our whole country, and pose a threat to our national security.
Shame on our government for doing NOTHING to prevent it and for doing NOTHING to prepare us or protect us. But hey, the good news is, while the illegal aliens are overthrowing the country, we can now learn to sing our national anthem in Spanish.
I agree and thanks for posting the names of those companies for all to see.
Is there anyplace where a comprehensive list of these lawbreakers has been compiled? It would certainly be helpful to those of us interested in stopping this travesty.
My wife and I were going to spend about 300 dollars today.We will wait now until Monday to buy(ammo).
Thanks, I like that. I changed it a little bit and printed out a whole bunch of them. I will be taping one to every door or every business I find closed around here Monday.
I want everyone to be afraid, owners and illegal alien employees.
The citizens of the country CAN cause a stampede for the border. Our politicians have abandoned us and chosen the illegal aliens as their constituents.
What are you smoking? $2 per hour??? Where are they paying wages that low? Here in the DC area, for a labor intensive job, illegals easily earn between $10 and $15 per hour cash, no tax. Those with fake papers and SS #'s, a modicum of english and a little experience earn the prevailing wages in the construction/ landscape industry.
Well, this young man from Phoenix with a Latino surname called a radio show this morning. Some illegal was using his SSN and it caused him big trouble with the IRS for not reporting the income he never made at the companies he never worked for.
I think these big businesses should compensate Americans that have been so inconvenienced by their cheap labor.
Your points are well-taken, although I'm not at all sure what "the average mall rat" has to do with our problem of illegal aliens, Mexican nationals, using our social services.
If the current Mexicans are granted amnesty, then you can count on those who were unable to get in `under the wire' pouring across our border in anticipation of the next amnesty in--if the last one was `86--2016. Tyson and others will continue to exploit the newcomers and the problem will continue unabated. Chicken-processing, I grant, is not something most American high-schoolers aspire to as a career, but that doesn't justify continuing an underclass of virtual peons in this country. If Tyson has to invest on capital expeditures automating, too bad. You can excuse our little brown brothers but the lawyers at Tysons are big boys and they are familiar with USC Title 8.
And they are breaking our law, as vituous as our "guests" may be. I know a few criminals who are swell people, with great work ethics, but it doesn't change their legal status. Our immigration policy of `salutary neglect' is about to end, and it's about time.
Unless Mexico wants to join as our 51st star, buena suerte to them. These people, and their education, health, safety, general welfare and employment, are Mexico's problem.
I learn to live without artichokes.
Suddenly I anticipate finding myself saying "I saw on the net that..." as I wait in lines here and there for the next couple of months.
Gestapo. Nice. Reeeeeaaaal nice.
Great! We need to be as active as they are.
