Florida Democratic congressional candidate Alex Sink said immigration reform was important at a Tuesday debate because, without it, it would be difficult for employers to find people to clean hotel rooms and do landscaping.
“Immigration reform is important in our country,” she said. “We have a lot of employers over on the beaches that rely upon workers and especially in this high-growth environment, where are you going to get people to work to clean our hotel rooms or do our landscaping? We don’t need to put those employers in a position of hiring undocumented and illegal workers.”

It’s an interesting idea, but I don’t think we should need to reward people for doing their most basic duties. Give them some incentive maybe, but straight up benefits, I don’t think that would be good.
How about this: you want welfare benefits, beyond a short window like 3-6 months, or something earned like a veteran pension or social security, then you give up your voting rights for the duration. You won’t be contributing to the tax revenue, so you shouldn’t have a say in how it is spent. That costs us nothing and can only improve the plight of the country.
In Hillary’s America, Gandhi would be confined to managing a convenience store.
Thanks lowbridge.

Alex IS a walking, talking parody. That simpering socialist doesn’t remember those Jesse Jackson stories about his days as a “WaitPerson”.
these animals want good cheap labor no matter what so they can live their silver spoon lives....
PAY UP YOU BUMS....
We have plenty of Florida citizens willing and able to do those jobs.
Enforce ALL the labor laws already on the books, and most of the illegal employer corruption will cease to exist.
If a landscaping or hotel business can't operate without breaking labor laws,they SHOULD go out of business.
bump
Alex Sink you mean you hire ILLEGALS to do your landscaping in your real house (which is not in the 13th)?
I have a maid and two landscapers. None are illegal....not even foreign.
You find them by asking friends and neighbors.
By the way, I live in Florida.
Don’t believe the libs for a minute.
The unemployment rate among Hispanics MADE LEGAL last time is sky high. Maybe this ‘humanitarian’ can hire some of the Hispanics already here - and legal...
Why do I feel the old St. Petersburg Times will ignore this story?
If you give them amnesty, they will no longer work as your landscaper or maid, you dumb a**.
But they hang in hoping to be made legal. As soon as they're 'legal' they get better jobs - aren't as 'grateful' for being treated like crap - and a new bunch is brought in to be exploited. Oops, not 'exploited' I mean treated with great kindness by humanitarian liberals.
AMERICANS FIRST!!!
Alex Sink is a demented offspring of CARNIES, a perpetual candidate, and a banker class thief who put millions of dollars in overdraft fees from the poor and middle class in her pocket.
Her husband is a douchebag too.
Go jump in a lake and SINK sink!!!
Democrat accidentally telling the truth... ping.

Rep. John Barrow (Ga.), another conservative Democrat, is an opponent of the Senate bill’s “amnesty” provisions that create a path to citizenship for eligible residents in the U.S. illegally.
Rep. Mike McIntyre (D-N.C.) objects to “granting amnesty or any type of legal status which pardons people in violation of our laws,” he said in a statement published on his website.
Democratic Reps. Dan Lipinski (Ill.), Jim Matheson (Utah), Collin Peterson (Minn.), Nick Rahall (W.Va.) and Cedric Richmond (La.) have also not signed on to the House immigration legislation.
