Re: Sweat Shops
Well for starters, REAL penalties for hiring illegals. So if someone shows up for a job with a social security number that starts with a 398 or other numbers indicating they were born here in the 60's or 70's but still haven't mastered the english language or can't read or understand a stop sign, and you still hire them. It shows intent. You can go to almost any, and I mean any manufactuer, warehouse, larger builder, small builder, and find illegals. You don't even have to leave a 10 mile radius of any populated area over 5000 people. Anywhere in the US. And we nailed what 5 offenders in the whole country. This is their best effort? This was for the media's benefit only.
How about a bounty for illegal identification. Based on the drain on our infrastructure, $1000 a head would be a windfall for most cities.
Second, any municipality who fails to adhere to national immigration policy will be identified, penalized, and judges failing to adjudicate the law consistant with its guildlines will also be prosecuted. Judges willfully disregarding the law are crimminals. Safe haven cities. GONE!
Utilize police, fire, building inspectors, teachers, meter maids, garbage men, whoever and empower them, no mandate that they identify to the proper attorities suspected illegals.
All "guest workers" will need to have a sponsor who will be responsible for their activities.
Anchor babies - GONE... Come on even Canada saw the falicy involved in this little, but well known, loophole.
How about letting the boarder patrol fire back when fired upon.
One million made it in and you think one thousand new agents to cover what a thousand miles is going to be enough. Do they work 24hrs a day / 7 days a week? How about 20 thousand.
How about making Mexico responsible for their own people? The ongoing corruption that is the hallmark of mexican government has become historic. Illegals found to have committed violent crime should be shipped to Russia. We should cut a deal for them to house our crimminals in Syberia. They would love to build and house these low lifes for a fraction of the cost that we currently pay. That should be a bit of a deterent.
Hows that for a start. Once you make it clear that this isn't a health spa for illegals, then you can claim you made your "best" effort.
I have supported President Bush financially during the first election and made it clear when solicited for the second term that I would not support someone who wouldn't protect our boarders. Not that my humble opinion means anything at all. I know that. I don't remember saying the sky is falling. I didn't even say that these illegals were bad people. They are poor folks looking for work. 1-10-100000-10,000,000 at what point do we actually do something.
JB exactly how tough would it have been to get anchor babies written out of the law? When we made "Public Service" a "Job" is when things started going downhill. How many more generations of Kennedy's will this country have to endure. When people sell their decisions in congress for votes, we have lost our representative form of government. And for this we are all to blame.
