Your personal attacks are ridiculous. I have devoted lots of time to call, write, fax, and talk to elected officials about the recent horrible immigration bills. I am a staunch foe of amnesty and a strong advocate for enforcement first and attrition through enforcement.

I admit there are businesses who are actively breaking the law and others who are looking the other way while hiring illegals. I support prosecution of the businesses actively breaking the law. Most businesses are not actively breaking immigration laws. Until better tools are available to check documents and prevent hiring, the situation will not improve much. If your competitors have a lower cost structure, you need to lower costs to stay in business. The tools need to be applied uniformly to prevent competitive advantage by hiring illegals. I support better tools but the other side is preventing development and usage of the tools.

Most businesses are not sellouts or traitors. They are reacting to gridlock on the immigration issue and the lower cost structure. With many illegals hired, it is natural that these businesses become amnesty supporters. They are not being traitors to support amnesty and open borders policies. I strongly disagree with their opinions but they are certainly entitled to their views.

Well, at least you admit it. I could tell you endless stories about just how greedy, and corrupt many of these corporations/employers are in regards to hiring illegal aliens at all costs.

Entire industries now are all but Spanish speaking illegals including the hotel, heating and air conditioning, all aspects of construction, trucking is going the same way, landscaping, all restaurants and food industry, what's left of manufacturing, etc etc etc.

Like I said, anyone who feels that multi-zillion dollar corporations like McDonald's "hands are tied" and would never knowingly hire illegal aliens is living in fantasy land.

It's so bad, you've got companies assisting illegal aliens and instructing them on what to write down, what to say, and basically how to undermine and go around the system. The fix is in, and the fat cats are basically protected.

I guess there are people still left who haven't a clue what is really going on in their own towns and states.

Most of these employers/corporations much like our corrupt political representatives, are fully aiding and abetting this colossal violent invasion, allowing this endless flood of criminals to completely undermine and compromise everything America, including our electoral process.

It's all about profits regardless of consequences.

And I can only hope those that aid and abet this glaring overt destruction of our country will one day be held directly responsible for what they've done to it.
