No one needs to, one quick phone call (or Internet request) to Social Security can instantly tell if the person is legal to work here.

Exactly. Back in my twenties, I was in the Unemployment Office doing some business, and the clerk handed me a printout and asked me if I knew any of the people on the list. It was a list of about 10-15 people and I knew none of them. She then asked me to sign a form stating just that, and I asked her what it was about. She said that all those people were using my SS number!

You're right--that phone call to the SS office to find out that SS#555-55-5555 belongs to Mildred Smith and not Juan Javieriez is a simple and effective stop-gap.

The San Benito resident admits he’s employed undocumented immigrants and says they’re paid the same as legal workers, above minimum wage.

He's full of it, let me add.

Check out this program.

I can't believe what happening to our country.

That statement should be on the front cover of every liberal print and news media in our country. I have been ranting this for years to our children, and here on FR.

Further, I have warned of our children procreating in having offspring.

Forty years, in retospect, America will be an unrecognizable entity.

For my wife and I? America already is unrecognizable entity from when we were children.

Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Cary Grant, Gene Kelly, Montavoni, Henri Mannini, ....

Today, it's Tookie Williams, Michael Jackson, RAP, Hip-Hop, and the rest of the instant-gratification-generation who cannot even read a children's book or recite a poem.

Congress had better put some teeth in the law and force Homeland non Security to hit employers hard nation wide or start looking for new employment!

You have a better chance of contracting the "Bird Flu" than seeing this happen.

Feingold (D - WI) believes there are only 60 squares on a chess board. I believe that most of our elected "officials" never graduated from grade school. Who was the idiot who asked if the lunar lander on Mars ever caught up to the American Flag on Earth's moon. Talk about dolts from dummie-land....

Yep...8 Million new cockroaches since Senor' Jorge got elected too...

GW has not fulfilled his oath...and his approval polls are more than anything a reflection of the conservative base pissed off about the border.

El Jorge Bush has failed on immigration. Bush disgusts me...

Give whistle blowers and their lawyers a cut.

Maybe cut and amnesty for the illegals who blow the whistle? :)

NO!

No jail time and a quick deportation would be more than enough compensation.

Here is the way I see it. When I hear a contractor use the line that US citizens will not do the work....Complete bull. The real story is the guy that I am going to pay 2600 bucks to next week for concrete work is going to use illegals becuase he can pay them S**T and they won't complain and he gets to pocket the differance.

First, why should we put legitimate businessmen in the law enforcement business? Isn't that what we have a Border Patrol for?
How are businessmen supposed to succeed when our "law enforcement" (that's right, those are "sarcasm quotes") personnel cannot?
Second: Visiting CNN a few minutes ago, I saw the most incredible Western Union ad:
It showed an obviously-hispanic male, and the title was,"Doing well? Use our money orders to send money to the folks back home!"


I say, ban overseas money-orders by anyone who cannot prove U.S. citizenship.
Not a green card - citizenship!
Next: No more "birthright citizenship". A child born here must have at least one U.S.-citizen parent, and BOTH must be here legally.
That's right: two parents would be required as well. No more instant welfare babies!

You might want to double check his Workers Comp policy. Call his broker to see that's it's in effect. In most states if the contractor isn't paid up, you get to cover the claim. Could save a lifetime of grief.

BTW, what's a Jefe?

There are those who assume that everyone on this planet assume that they assume what certain folks are in the discussion process. The militry folks like the jargon as well.

As a techie, I can throw around thousands of jargon. Do I get MPA

(my point across)?

IDK...

Series, too much ego here.

LCD (Lowest Common Dennominator) is the best asset of communication.

Then again there is RAID, DASDm MIPS, GIGS, RPGIV, PLI, APL, OS400, AS400, SAP, JDE, AM&FM, AC/DC, and 123.

Yeah, I had a house in Oregon (which I've since sold) and I had a contractor (American) over to look at how to make the basement into a third bedroom. He was trying to sell me on his work and said "yeah, if you rent this out to some Mexicans, why they'll fill it up with all their relatives, yeah boy they'll just pack 'em in there!!".

Later at a little restaurant down by the ocean this one American restaurant owner was saying "Yeah, everyone is starting to use Mexicans, now all the green houses around here are (and she changed to this down homey voice) makin the switch!".

Neither one cared about all the issues that are offered to justify this illegal employment (that Americans won't do it). They just wanted money, money, money. And they were so short sighted I wanted to slap both of these people
