Yes it will be messy. Once businesses and banks just how devastating the RICO penalties can be it would be in their financial interest to resist the urge to hire and take money from illegal aliens. A successful case will send a message to Corporate America that immigration laws is to be respected. Remember, corpoations who hire illegal aliens are undercutting their competition by offering lower wages and not providing Workman's compensation mandated by state and federal OSHA regulations. They force the competition who follow the rules by providing a decent wage and Workman's competition to go out of businesses laying off more workers.A good example is New Orleans. Many of the people who live there went back to look for construction jobs. To their surprise, those jobs were taken by illegal aliens who are being paid lower wages.

Can someone would explain how to fairly address the hundreds of thousands of families whose lives would be turned upside down as a result of these RICO suits?

Forcing the companies into bankruptcy might be fair punishment for them and their owners, but they also employ a lot of people who are long time, legal, loyal employees who deserve justice also.

How do THEY get justice when their jobs, health insurance, and their retirement plans are ripped from them?

I would find it a lot easier to get onboard all this if it weren't for them.

Do you want thousands of Americans citizens losing their jobs because of the businesses and paying lower wages to illegal immigrants therefore undercutting their competition and killing the American Middle class or the businesses and banks respecting the immigration laws and hiring lawful citizens Americans? Businesses and banks who undercut businesses who meet regulations required by local,state and federal governments are prime targets for RICO because they are profiting from and promoting a illegal enterprise for attracting and hiring illegal immigrants. Employers who hire illegal aliens should not deserve to enjoy the fruits of their illegal behavior at the expense of citizens of the United States. The money they collect from RICO lawsuits should be used to create jobs and job retraining for citizens of the United States. Again, it will be messy but things always sort themselves out

Well, isn't that nice, avoid direct questions and sweep all those betrayed families under the rug. Real nice as long as you don't know them personally.

Good luck, breezy answers to serious questions aren't going to get many of us to line up behind you.

I am being a patriot and saving the American Middle class which has been disappearing because employers hire illegal immigrants therefore depressing wages. While the employers are making money by depressing wages from their illegal acts.Congress gave the people the power to do this because they knew the government was not prosecuting businesses who hire illegal immigrants. The people have the power, now is the time to exercise your rights.

I notice, and I'm sure readers notice, your unwillingness to tackle the result of your misplaced enthusiam.

Move along, I'm looking for someone who will address this big issue seriously.

I am. Corporations, banks and municipalities must be seriously penalized for flagrantly disregarding our U.S. immigration laws for decades. The entities(banks,businesses and corporations) have make billions of dollars in profits while taxpayers have spent billions of dollars in social services for displaced lawful American workers that have been undercut by employers hiring illegal immigrants. That is not including the billions of dollars more spend on illegal aliens using those same services.

Corporations must pay for the billions of dollars they have reaped in lax enforcement. Now is the time to sow the consequences


This is a issue with strong opinions and I am just giving the people and alternative. I respectfully disagree.

What do you do with the hundreds of thousands of families that are devastated when felons go to jail? Do we let all the convicts out of jail because it would disrupt their families? No of course not. So why do illegal immigrants that have broken our laws expect different treatment? If I practice tax fraud and SS fraud I would not be able to pay a very small fine and still be able to collect my benefits based on that crime. It comes down to are we a nation of laws or a nation of special interests?
