The Illegal Immigration Debate

As a business owner who has mexicans as sub contractors and who pays them the same as any other sub contractor, I am really ticked off by this new concept that business owners will pay fines for hiring illegals. For one, we have only the information they supply us with, such as drivers liscences, social security cards etc. My question is WHY should business owners be fined by a government who has given more to the illegals than anyone. They give upon request medicare for teenage pregnant girls who come into town on that same day. The welfare offices and social service offices are wall to wall with unwed girls and women who want us to pay for their babies the moment they hit town. Our motor vehicle offices give drivers liscences and liscence plates out dailey to people who come in with one set of papers and pass them back and forth between 20 people. Our insurance companies give out

insurance to these same people who then get our state tags and then move on to another state with higher insurance costs. The police know that these people live in their town and have a different liscence tags for another state and nothing is done about it. So the way it looks to me is that all our government agencies give out needed items and money to people they know are illegal,BUT now this same government wants business owners to do all the neccesarry investigating (that which the government won't do) and to make absolutley sure that who we hirer is legal, now remember we get the same identification that the government agencies get, but we are going to be fined if this person turns out to be illegal.

I would love to see business owners who are going to be fined to band together and hit the media with this rediculous new idea the government has hatched to make it look like they are trying to get a handle on the illegal situation.

Every day all the political bull that hits the news is about our politicians trying to find a way to defuse a very poorly handled problem with a group of people who think if they sneak into this country illegally they have rights. They don't have the same rights that citizens do, and until this is hammered into their heads that they will only have those rights if they go through the right process to be legal. Watching mexicans demonstrate demanding to have the same rights as citizens and watching them fly their mexican flags makes me wonder what country are we really in. My last little burp is going to be on language. In the USA it is English, not Spanish, German, Italian etc. Its English!!!! And I despise seeing Spanish bill boards . Since I live in the US and I can read and write, I really think I should only see English language bill boards. I would expect to see other languages in other countries not here. When do the american people get off their lazy complaining butts and organize a march to take back our old way of life.



DM: This is a classic "Tu quoque" fallacy. Furthermore, there's some of "begging the question" in it as well, as the reason they come here is because people will hire them for more than they could make. Furthermore, the government has now given you the tools to conduct this investigation. You could always verify that the name matches the social. You could always verify "right to work". You just don't want to. Now they even have a modern computerized system available. It's rationalizing like this that has encouraged this tragedy of the commons to become as large a problem as it has.
