He appears to be of the John Kenneth Galbraith variety.
Baloney. Free schooling, free health care at emergency room rates, section 8 housing for the anchor babies. They get a hell of a lot of services for the meager contribution. Conversely, I'm pay $70,000 in federal income tax, $19,000 in state income tax and the max social security. I have no children in school and my employer sucks $400 per month from my paycheck for a health insurance premium with $1500 per person per year deductibles. Who's getting screwed here?
The illegals need to be arrested and deported ASAP. There are plenty of capable people around to fill the jobs they are illegally performing.
This could create a few problems, but it would solve a whole lot of problems.
What is the quota on the H2A temporary ag worker visa?
Employer makes application based on need & agrees to terms/conditions.
It's granted & he drives to border to P.U. his new braceros.
AgJobs, was the bill to reform ag worker visas and was the first one introduced in 2003. It was rolled into CIRA.
The quota is nowhere near adequate
The regulations are so complex, very few use it
It is for temporary workers only
I understand that ....& why would you want 'em here after the year's harvest?
Someone needs to tell the RNC and the morons at the WSJ op ed pages what non enforcement of illegal alien workplace rules amounts to, and that is a de facto govrenment subsidy. So much for the "free"market.
As I mentioned in my other post, businessmen who pull this BS are only hurting themselves long term, because not only are they bringing in socialist leaning voters, but in the short term they are severely angering American born citizens. I guess they will renain clueless untill we go beyond Carter era levels of taxation.
Because there is a need for longer term employees.
why can't these phony immigrants and criminal aliens just use their REAL ID? Perfectly legal in the US!
"the loss of a labor force made up largely of illegal immigrants could cripple the nation's agricultural and other industries."
BIG FAT LIE!!!!
75% of those jobs are still done by legal Americans.
I assumed that your intent was to spread mis-info.
"Americans need to think of illegal immigrants as economic contributors... said five advocates for immigration reform Monday."
"That's funny: slave-owners felt the same way about slaves.
Didn't mean it was right, though."
Absolutely right! What would you expect advocates to say??
Big deal....it's still BS
This American is never going to see them as anything but fence-jumpers and line-cutters...a residential burgler is a criminal..not an "uninvited house guest"..
