Flimsey Grahamnesty has repeatedly said he will keep working for amnesty for illegal aliens and their employers until he is removed from office.
He has stated numerous times that a vote for him is a vote for amnesty.

I hear you. But apparently the prevailing wage isnt high enough.
What if you paid $1000 per hour? Could you get the workers then? Of course you could.
But you dont have to go that high. Start your offers at $32/hr and see who you get. Youll find your floor. And it will be the REAL value of that employee.
Yes your service will cost more. Slavery keeps prices low.

As long as immigration reform is held hostage to amnesty there will be no immigration reform.

Well, then that is more argument to deport them all and bar the illegals from ever becoming legal. Also, companies who are repeat violators should be put out of business and their owners put in prison for a very long time.

“You have to work hard,” he says in Spanish
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
17 years and he has not bothered to learn the language.
This is not immigration.
This is colonization.

"So the work is done by men like Ignacio Barrios, a sturdy, 36-year-old welder who came here illegally from Oaxaca, Mexico. He worked at Load Trail for 17 years before getting swept up in the ICE operation."Was he collecting Welfare too?

Hiebert says they hire whoever walks in the door, and they pay decent wages $20 to $25 an hour. Still, theyve always had a hard time finding weldersI wish Project Veritas would check that out for us.

Let em move to Mexico, pay the cheaper wages there, deal with drug cartel violence, and pay high tariffs. And hopefully another company will set up in Texas and operate legally.

Sounds like the shoplifter who cries about how unfair it is when the cops handcuff him.

Exactly why the Bush League Republicans and Democrats are so desperate for amnesty for the 30 million people they invited here against the will of the citizens through their 30 year bipartisan policy of non-enforcement.
Remember, amnesty for illegal aliens is amnesty for their employers as well.

.does this mean that businesses will have to follow the law to acquire foreign labor, but only when it’s necessary? Will they have to train workers who demand a living wage, rather than take workers away from countries that need these trained people to turn their own economies around? I’m sure if they’d try hard enough they’d find top-tier HS graduates who would choose job training for high-paying jobs instead of college debt.

.Gov will break down doors and seize assets if one had drugs. People aiding and abetting illegal aliens should get the same treatment. Companies are shielded way too much compared to the common citizen. Same for financial crimes committed by large financial institutions.

We ought to have a tariff on Mexican imports as high as those on Chinese imports.

“I wonder if these ***holes would consider hiring Americans.”
Not if they have to pay them American wages.

Karma. Hire illegals, deal with the consequences. Pay American wages for replacement employees. Else, go out of business and good riddance.

The author calls it brutish labor. These pathetic snowflakes would wet their panties if they walked through a steel mill or shipyard.
