. Ever been to California? Everybody speaks some Spanish.
***I have lived in California all my life. I compete against these illegals.
My point was Americans in the construction trades overcharge. Immigrants do good work for less money.
***It is the ILLEGAL immigrants who generate the girding that the supposedly legal immigrants build upon to compete against legal & legitimate american wage earners.
Are you saying you would have gone with the forty grand bid to get your roof done?
***Are you saying that you’d be willing to be named in a RICO lawsuit that generates treble damages? If so, how do we reach you?

Whenever an illegal alien kills someone in a drunk driving accident or something similar, here’s what I recommend:
What can we do about it? Here’s my standard post.
RICO —Citizen Recourse
Private persons and entities may initiate civil suits to obtain injunctions and treble damages against enterprises that conspire to or actually violate federal alien smuggling, harboring, or document fraud statutes, under the Racketeer-Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO). The pattern of racketeering activity is defined as commission of two or more of the listed crimes. A RICO enterprise can be any individual legal entity, or a group of individuals who are not a legal entity but are associated in fact, and can include nonprofit associations.
Here’s what I’ve been pushing: it’s time to file Racketeering, Influencing, and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) lawsuits.
RICO lawyers could turn it around in a few years and MAKE MONEY at the same time. I’m surprised they haven’t done it already.
In the absence of enforcement, we can get the word out in the meantime that there is money to be made in filing RICO lawsuits against employers who hire illegal aliens like this jerk.
Employers would have no trouble shutting down the border if they could get sued by someone under the RICO statutes for hiring these people in the first place. The next time an illegal alien kills someone in a drunk driving accident or somesuch thing, I’m going to point out that the victim’s family might be able to seek compensation from the employer under these statutes in the hopes that it would catch on. If this did catch on, would see such a swift backlash against illegal immigration that no employer would go near these people and they’ll all simply want to go back home.
Not a problem the State seizes all your buisiness assets if an illegal is in your Employ>
simple to the point! Add a $500.00 bounty! Done deal!
What on earth are you talking about? While the reasonably priced roofers were most probably immigrants, there’s no evidence to suggest they were here illegally. They weren’t hired off the street. They were employees of a reputable licensed and bonded company.
Are you suggesting it’s incumbent on citizens to check the immigration papers of all employees when paying a business for service? Do you check the immigration status of the McDonald’s cashier with the Spanish accent who sells you a burger? The busboy who clears your plate? How about at Walmart? If not, then you’re a hypocrite.
And this business of involuntarily deputizing employers to perform LAW ENFORCEMENT duties — i.e., checking an employee’s immigration status — is an outrageous — and probably illegal under the Constitution — imposition on the citizenry. It’s not my business to determine whether someone is legally in the country, it’s one of the few things government should be doing. And they won’t, so I have to? What nonsense.
You’re mad at me because an American thought he could trade on his blond hair and patriotism to sucker me into overpaying for work. The immigrants did it cheaper. They were probably immigrants because they spoke Spanish. But there is no evidence — none — they were here illegally.
Do you also think employers should be forced to investigate tax returns and garnish wages for the IRS under threat of jail? How about child support payments?
What a solution. You want to make criminals of employers because they won’t “voluntarily” do the government’s job and enforce immigration laws. You want to prosecute your fellow citizens using statutes aimed at the organized crime. Brilliant.
