-what part of illegal do these people not understand?

[justanotherfreeper]

Boo freaking hoo. What about the taxpayers whose ID they stole scared to death after the IRS bills them for taxes and penalties, who now have to explain to the IRS they didn’t hold down 3 jobs in 3 different states? What about the taxpayers paying for the illegal immigrants kids education and all the emergency rooms full of illegals? What about the employers who paid legal workers and went out of business because unscrupulous creeps like this one hired cheap illegals and undercut the law abiding employers prices? Come here legally or don’t come. Pay more and hire legal workers. No sympathy for me for any of these people, they all broke the law.

Did Allen Petrie, business owner, ever try to help his employees gain legal resident status? Giving Spanish lessons doesn’t count, IMHO.

Hire legal residents and everything will be just peachy. Its not cool to exploit illegal immigrants because you can save a buck or too on wages, benefits, and other expenses.

For all the wild hand wringing of some in the Latino community this is just as much about stopping the exploitation of Mexican nationals in the US as it is about deporting them. We don't want an underclass of serfs or helots.

I'd rather live a second class life on the margins of US society than live in Mexico too. That doesn't make exploiting people OK.
