Let us remind ourselves that we are on the same side of the isle.. I hate Amnesty, in any form, we don’t need it, and it won’t happen anytime soon, because we are here with a current majority in the House..
Now here is the camel in the tent.. Our Nation Business, small and large, needs this source of labor, whether you or I like it or not.. I know this first hand, but that is not all I base this on, ask the Ag industry, and the Hospitality Industry, and no less than the US Chamber of Commerce..
Not one of those industries want illegal immigration, because it’s illegal, DUH, but also sloppy and unpredictable.. We have no alternatives available to overcome the need except maybe automation, and robotics, and that isn’t good enough, especially for small business..
FYI, I spent 45 years in small business in Restaurants, Hotels, Ranching, and Cruise Lines, with a peak of 2800 employees, of which 40% was labor intensive, with 70% of those made up of these folks.. NO OTHER RELIABLE SOURCE APPLIED, NONE, ZIP, ZILCH, NADA!
Nothing I did, offered, tried, or attempted, filled those spots, that were vital to the operation to open the doors, and stay open..
Carlo, I agree we are definitely on the same side of the aisle. I’m not trying to argue with you, I just am disagreeing with you. :)
I am not ready to raise the white flag and compromise again. I think there are a lot of businesses that shouldn’t be in business. If a business can’t stay in business without hiring illegal aliens, they shouldn’t be in business, period. Every business that hires illegals and every citizen that hires illegals to do their yard work/housework are part of the problem.
We need to force illegals out, while at the same time forcing people off the government dole. All we need is a candidate with the guts to say it.
