Reply #9: Reframe....Make hiring illegal aliens illegal

[gtar100]

I can't fault *anyone* for coming here for work when it's available. Don't blame the undocumented workers. You'd be a lowlife jerk to your family if you wouldn't be willing to do the same thing as these people have done just to put food on the table, a roof over their head and clothes on their back. The United States, at the behest of wealthy corporate owners, has set out a welcome mat to anyone who needs work. It's simply lip service to the problem by trying to "crack down on illegal immigration" through raids and border patrols. Those activities will NEVER solve the immigration problem because they do not address the "root cause".

Make *hiring* of illegal workers a crime punishable by fines and prison time to be done by the business owners and illegal immigration will quickly come to an end.

But under the *ush administration, pigs will fly first before they do anything like holding business owners responsible for their selling out of the United States (by means of outsourcing jobs to other countries and allowing undocumented workers to hold jobs at substandard wages).
