Also

3. A win for good + a loss for evil = Bi Win like a Trump victory + Obama defeat (like a double negative becoming a positive)

Occurred in Arizona, as many went back across the border or into other states.

...laws that can’t be just undone by the next Democratic occupant of the white house

Please join me and many of my FRiends on this forum to take back the word 'democratic' from the Liberal Left! The Liberal Left all belong to the Democrat Party.

From The Ten Commandments (Charlton Heston). The curse didn't work so well for Moses, because we know who's side he was on. I wonder who's side Obama is on?

Good luck complying.

If someone hands me a phony looking set of documents, I better accept them at face value because if you investigate this case further a claim will be made that you are discriminating based upon “National Origin”.

Expect a call from the EEOC attorneys.

That is why many business owners, no longer hire direct.

“And it’s the business owner’s job to follow the law and not hire them...”

Agree. Follow the law and don’t hire them.

That’s different from running background checks, everify or whatever, that costs time and money.

If the fedgov wants businesses to do that for them, they have to pay for that service. Simple as that.

“The GOV is also responsible for collecting taxes, SS, etc. Employers play a role in that too.”

Excellent, point! Employers have become unpaid tax collectors for the fedgov.

Have you ever employed anyone before? Do you know how much time, money and effort is required to collect state and fedgov taxes?

And it’s all done for free. Fedgov pays nothing for the service.

Now, employers have to become border guards as well.

For free.

“How can it not be the responsibility of companies to make sure they hire legal citizens? What are you a farmer? “

No. I was an employer.

“I worked in the medical field as a nurse and never once did I fill out an application where I did not have to give my SS# or mark whether or not I was a natural born citizen.”

Right. And I gave those forms to my prospective employees, mostly immigrants, they filled them out, had SS numbers and I hired them. Fully compliant with all laws. I was anyways.

” I also had to under go a criminal background check. Was it up to the government to make sure “said” hospital, hospice, etc. didn’t hire a criminal or a non citizen? That’s ridiculous.”

It’s up to the fedgov that those people aren’t here. Just because they’ve completely failed in that doesn’t give them the right to pass the buck to businesses.

“Absolutely businesses have a responsibility to check on who they hire, and they should not be hiring criminals. Someone here illegally is by the definition of the word, breaking the law.”

Well if mom&pop stores are now forcibly deputized to rout out criminal illegals, is there going to be any pay for this?

Maybe businesses could all be armed and deputized to go after thieves and drug dealers too./s

“That said, there are businesses that do knowingly hire these people, no doubt about it.”

Okay. That’s a different issue than forcing more regulations (unfunded mandate) on small businesses.

Hiring illegals is illegal.

Prosecute the criminal companies, don’t punish innocent businesses with more regulations.

Let the name of Obama be stricken from every book and tablet, stricken from all pylons and obelisks, stricken from every monument of America. Let the name of Obama be unheard and unspoken, erased from the memory of men for all time.

Let it be written, let it be done...

Modify that “Let the name 0bama be stricken ...” just a little somehow such that we have a clearly seen morsel of his shameful legacy that demonstrates for all time how terrible it is to put in office someone who hates the United States and its history.

The notion that “everybody is doing it, so to remain in business, I have to do it too” has to be dealt with effectively by the Fed Gov.

You realize how "it" is done? Firms go to bid on available work, and just one who knows he can get labor for what amounts to slave wages, including paying "under the table", thereby avoiding payroll taxes, withholding, and all the other artificial rent streams that feed the feudal lords of FedGov, that firm can always bid lower than all the rest that run 100% above board. The honest ones must either go along to stay alive, close up, or eke out in subsistence mode with nearly indigestible costs.

The problem is not just enforcement. The problem is that government IS the problem, in several different ways at once. It does what it should not be doing (since nobody is allowed to question whether it should be harvesting the substance of "free" citizens as if they were penned cattle), and it does not do what it should (deal with foreign governments, secure borders, etc.)

Government "of the people, by the people, for the people" has not properly existed in this country for longer than I've been in it.

Payroll services are actually pretty cheap. So is having a tax accountant. It's part of the cost of doing business.

OTOH, e-Verify doesn't cost anything. I'm going to guess it's not an expense or time issue, it's that you can hire illegal aliens much cheaper under the table than Americans. The GOV services they and their families consume can get passed on to other people, rather than they (and you) paying their fair share.

“Payroll services are actually pretty cheap.”

Doesn’t matter it’s working unpaid for the fedgov.

“So is having a tax accountant. It’s part of the cost of doing business.”

Ha. By that logic, if the fedgov required businesses to deliver mail for free, you’d be fine with that.

We’re 3/4 of the way down the slippery slope.

“I’m going to guess it’s not an expense or time issue, it’s that you can hire illegal aliens much cheaper under the table than Americans.”

You guess completely wrong. In my old business, I used to employ 20-30 people.

Having to deal with all of your “cost of doing business” mandates from fed and state gov’s have led me to the business I’m in now:

0 employess. And it’s going to stay that way until the swamp is completely drained. And the state (MA) swamp too.

Furthermore, how brainwashed are you?

Now it’s MY fault that the fedgov with all its Trillions have done THEIR Constitutionally mandated JOB in maintaining and protecting our borders?

“(you) not paying your fair share”

You’re kidding right? Are you from DU?

You sound like it.
