Official warns against hiring illegal immigrants in Dallas

Assistant Homeland Security chief Julie Myers had some tough talk for Dallas business owners Wednesday: The crackdown on employers who hire illegal immigrants will continue. And just in case they don't believe her, she detailed recent prosecutions of managers.

Ms. Myers, in town for a luncheon hosted by the Greater Dallas Chamber of Commerce, also talked about an initiative aimed at ensuring deportation of criminal illegal immigrants in local jails.

Ms. Myers oversees Homeland Security's Immigration and Customs Enforcement department, the second-largest law enforcement agency in the nation and one with a portfolio that includes a crackdown on illegal immigrants and those who employ them.

"Ignoring the laws will not make them go away," Ms. Myers told an audience of businessmen and businesswomen.

Some employers are participating in "domestic outsourcing" by hiring illegal immigrants, Ms. Myers said. The result, she said, is that employers exploit workers with lower wages and lax adherence to safety and environmental laws.

About damned time. The more unscrupulous business persons who land in prison over this crap the better.

But she probably ate in restaurants stocked with illegal workers, stayed at hotels staffed by illegals in housekeeping, and passed tens of thousands of illegals on the roads to and from the airport.

She’s a lying POS who got the job due to nepotism and presumed incompetence for the position in furtherance of el presidente’s open borders policy.

Meanwhile, in Prince William County, Virginia (as heard on the radio WWWT 107.7 this morning), the jails are overcrowded with arrested illegal aliens that ICE has yet to come and pick up.

The locals are often more willing to do their jobs than the feds are to do theirs.

Remember President Bush’s Saturday speech at the White House, after Katrina struck?

Behind him to his left was failed Homeland Security chief and lawyer Michael Chertoff. But to his right was Gen. Richard Myers, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

I remember thinking: If only Bush had appointed a military or law enforcement type like Gen. Myers, to head up Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)—the most important law enforcement agency in the War on Terror—instead of his niece, Julie L. Myers. Julie Myers is another lawyer like Chertoff, inept and inexperienced when it comes to law enforcement.

Gee, I wonder where they get the idea that they can ignore the laws and not worry about it? Maybe from the last 7 years of this administration? Build a real fence, increase the fines by 10x, and lockup the company bigwigs instead of a few lower level disposable managers. That would slow it down.

She's the niece of former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Richard Myers.

Manifestly unfit/unqualified for the job. A recess appointment by el presidente because of it.

Good grief, folks. You complain when nothing is done about illegals, and you complain about someone doing something about illegals. Maybe you don't agree with her getting this job or her politics or whatever ... but she's on the mark with this one. It's about time somebody started cracking down on Dallas business hiring them. Too many of them do it and get by with it.

A similar crackdown is working in Arizona and Oklahoma ... it can work here.

If the Dallas-area ICE were interested in cleaning up illegals, they could do worse than to hit the lot behind Best Buy in Plano off of 75. There’s a DART station there, and a Home Depot nearby, and there must be a hundred guys “inexplicably” loitering around the street and a small parking lot back there, soliciting any car that happens to drive by.

I’m almost tempted to park my white, unmarked Suburban just up the street and start taking pictures and jotting notes down on a clipboard, and see how long it takes before the crowds “mysteriously” dry up.

Be sure to exercise CCW, in case you get people who get very upset at getting their pics taken

Or cruise the local hospital parking lots and deport the pregnant ladies just waiting to have anchor babies at taxpayer expense.

...

plus deport parents who show up in the morning to drop of their kids for those bus rides to ESL classes in PISD schools.

There would be no funding issues (and related property tax issues) for Texas schools if the illegals were deported.

Same thing for health care funding.

Same thing for skyrocketing auto insurance rates to compensate for the illegals who drive without licenses, uninsured, and frequently drunk.
