US Getting "Tough" On Illegal Employers

How many times have we heard this before? Sure it's all good and dandy on paper but let's really consider the following from this article.

If a red flag popped up in your mind after reading just the third paragraph of this article, you're not alone. The third and fourth paragraphs in my opinion state everything that needs to be stated about the true intentions of our government. The Department of Homeland Security officials had a plan to go after illegal immigrants in this country but they held off to "await the outcome of the debate in Congress over a sweeping immigration bill." So in layman's terms, basically if people would have supported this "Comprehensive-Reform Bill" aka "Grahamnesty", the rules would have never been enforced.

So what makes me think that is going to be any different?

Well of course nothing. Once again when it's time for our star batters to step up to the plate and hit some out of the park they all seem to bunt. These politicians, instead of realizing how angry and fed up the American people are with their special interests and phony solutions, still somehow feel that they can once again weasel the American people. Again it's going to blow up in their faces.

Stop talking about granting legal status to criminals and free passes to the criminals who hire them, and yes they broke the law, and start enforcing the laws and regulations on the books. No fluffy "let's get together and talk over tea and give you 14 days to destroy evidence" plans. Get down to business.

Employers for the vast majority don't unknowingly hire illegals. All you had to do was listen to the lobby that was in support of Bush's Amnesty Bill and listen to some of their supportive arguments. Most of their talking points were based off of the excuse of cheap labor and not having to pay minimum wage.

Now someone explain to me how a business can unknowingly pay crappy below standard wages to people that the business has no clue of being illegal? That just doesn't happen! How stupid do they think we really are?

And if these businesses are complaining that they just can't handle obeying the law, then obviously they can't handle remaining in business. I also have news to these employers that think they are so important and vital to the economy.

You aren't. The great thing about America is that there is always someone else down the road with ambition and dreams to take your place.

I have no respect for anyone who abuses people to make a profit and that is exactly what these so called businesses are doing. They are creating slaves. Not undocumented workers, not people doing jobs Americans won't do; slaves. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

We abolished slavery in 1865. It is now 2007. Get the picture?
