Reply #20: Their status precludes them being treated with respect.

They don't receive unemployment or workman's comp or any government protections. When you say i won't let anyone deport illegal immigrants from my city you are saying the homeowners and businesses here are more important than the workers. Trademans salaries have gone down over the years that is a simple truth. People who have worked hard are losing their homes and business are using illegals to break the back of Trade Unions.

I have met far to many people whose household staff is exploited due to their legal status. And I assure you I don't know that many Republicans.


There seems to be a disconnect on this issue. Workers rights and protection need to come first as does a living wage for all.

To be a progressive society we need to eliminate those that can be exploited either by making them all citizens or deporting them. The status quo cannot stand.
