It is an illegal employer problem. People giving illegals jobs are the root cause of it all. No jobs, no reason to come here. <BR/><BR/>What are the chances that Republicans will back any laws that prevent businesses from obtaining illegal cheap labor? What are the odds that any Democrat will propose laws that Republicans can say "will kill American small business"? <BR/><BR/>None. Zero. Zilch. <BR/><BR/>Nothing will ever be done.

I think illegal alien is a more proper term. <BR/><BR/>I suspect that nothing will change from passing this bill. Illegal aliens will still come in droves and very few will gain citizenship.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11687945.post-35874616381555762072007-05-18T10:24:00.002-04:002007-05-18T10:24:00.002-04:00Saur,I love you.

They would talk tough, but then on the golf course all they did was laugh about it. It was a big joke. <BR/><BR/>House Republicans may reject this, but I suspect they will not. And Bush will sign it. Then, they can blame Democrats during the 2008 elections. <BR/><BR/>I also suspect that many illegals will not abide by the proposed legislation. Employers will pressure them not to. Illegal employers do not want their workers to be legal. They want to continue to exploit them. <BR/><BR/>I still say that going after illegal employers would be more effective.The Lazy Iguanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12826083852416577162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11687945.post-18613328614929722412007-05-18T10:24:00.000-04:002007-05-18T10:24:00.000-04:00Illegals ...

Like it or not they are totally intertwined to our economy and society. A blanket round up would be a terrible disruption with dire consequences to our economy. Which is why there is little more than token enforcement of the current laws. Neither border protection nor punishing employers. <BR/><BR/>What we need to do is get them on the books legally and as painlessly as possible without the “perceived” rewarding of previous illegal behavior. No amnesty. Once on the books, legally, employers would be subject to current employment laws; minimum wage, workmen’s comp, etc… Taking away the cheap labor incentive from employers would assist legal immigrants and citizens in getting those jobs, if they want them. The side effect will be inflation. Be prepared to pay more for your tomatoes and strawberries and construction and landscaping or any the industries that employee these illegal immigrants by which I mean EVERYTHING.<BR/><BR/>The bill, as I understand it, is a bad attempt at doing just enough to show that there is no blanket amnesty but not to severe to minimize disruption.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11687945.post-46504557531720486892007-05-18T09:00:00.000-04:002007-05-18T09:00:00.000-04:00Daniel, Ah, but he DID apologize for that later on...<B>Daniel,</B> Ah, but he DID apologize for that later on.
