But if all their Pakistani illegals leave, how will they run their QwikyMarts????
NeverGore :^)

[watcher1]

When will we have the guts to do the same?

[Neanderthal]

Caning for illegals and those that employ them would solve the USA's illegal immigration problem in no time! Five lashes may be too few . . .

[B Knotts]

We don't even need caning; we just need a willingness to enforce the laws, which our politicians currently lack.

Still, this is amusing.

[TomGuy]

Anyone who employs or houses an illegal migrant is subject to the same penalties.

At least they are balanced in their penalty. And those canings are vicious. No wonder 10s of 1000s are heading out.

Many employers say they rely on the illegal immigrants to fill menial and low-paying jobs Malaysians refuse to do. Now, they say, the country's export-driven economy will suffer.

Yah, yah, yah, we hear the same sob story here. It's a bunch of crap.

[Reaganwuzthebest]

Yah, yah, yah, we hear the same sob story here. It's a bunch of crap.

And even after that's proven by the fact Malaysia's economy will continue to hum along without the illegals, the same tired old argument will continue to be used here we can't live without them.

When will we have the guts to do the same?

Never as illegals and their offsprings will soon approach the majority.

Illegal migrants rush to escape tough new laws Foreign workers who overstay their welcome in Malaysia face five years in jail, caning and fines: Government crackdown

When will we have the guts to do this? Never.

Or maybe when they wipe out a city like Denver and infect everyone there with Smallpox, or maybe nuke Chicago..

On second thought, I bet they would continue with this immigration "free for all"......

[sweetliberty]

Hmmm...that could have potential. It would virtually eliminate the "cost" objection because I'm sure there would be plenty of citizens who would gladly volunteer their services fot the good of America and even provide their own canes. And there would be no deportation costs because they'll be beating each other to get out. I can dream can't I?

Bingo!

While we are all debating about this in another 10 years, this is exactly what will happen......As it's happening right before our very eyes..

[spodefly]

This is the 'feel good' hit of the summer ... I love a happy ending.

Nice guys get illegal immigrants. See Derbyshire on Australia at: http://olimu.com/WebJournalism/Texts/Commentary/NiceGuysGetII.htm

"When will we have the guts to do the same?"

"Never as illegals and their offsprings will soon approach the majority."

Can I be truthfull here? At the risk of being called a racist and nazi, the truth is if you go to any area were illegals have taken over, you will see more baby strollers than you ever have in your life ... I mean tandem and quadruple seat strollers.... No kidding... It's unreal.....

Sorry if the truth offends anyone.....Not.

[Reaganwuzthebest]

Denmark just shut their doors too. And even liberal Ireland is giving the illegals the boot. Only the US continues to live in a fantasy world on this issue.

[Black Agnes]

Er, not exactly crispy critters but.....

[Black Agnes]

They're called 'Anchor Babies'. There, don't you feel better now?

[mhking]

Tens of thousands of illegal immigrants descended on Malaysia's ports yesterday, looking for a ship back home to Indonesia and the Philippines to avoid tough new immigration laws.

Under harsh legislation that took effect yesterday, foreigners caught working without a permit in Malaysia could face fines of US$2,600, mandatory jail terms of five years and six lashes of a rattan cane.

Anyone who employs or houses an illegal migrant is subject to the same penalties.

Could we get away with caning illegals on the Rio Grande? [tongue planted only partly in cheek]

[Joe Hadenuf]

You bet, any business owner knowingly caught hiring illegals gets 20 lashes along with the illegal. Confiscate their businesses and all assets...

We either get tough, or lose this country. It's that simple......

[Godel]

I wish I was asian so that I could live in a country that valued it's sovereignty and wasn't so obsessed over tolerating lawbreakers that it screws over it's own citizens.

Bravo Malaysia!!!
