Jul. 10, 2007 12:00 AM
For 18 years, I owned and operated a business in Phoenix.
I strictly and proudly adhered to the laws of our land. Meanwhile, I saw many businesses that blatantly hired Third World slave labor for one reason - to increase their profits.
Our government rewarded these criminals and left legitimate businesses such as mine to pay the price by having to compete with these lawbreakers.
Obviously there are many who suffer from an extremely myopic view of this situation and who will side with those who violate the law. But there are many more of us who will not tolerate slave labor and it's devastating consequences to our system. - David Jamieson,Phoenix
