Bush and rest of Rethugs could stop illegal immigration immediately |
|
by enforcing the laws against corporations and employers who hire illegal immigrants. The housing boom is allowing developers to make all-time record profits by exploiting illegal immigrants yet the costs of housing does not reflect the cost of the cheap labor. Americans pay three times: they are ripped off with excessive cost of housing, they lose good paying jobs to the illegals who will work for less, and they get stuck with the state and local costs of caring for illegals and their families. I don't blame the illegals who come here, I blame the Federal-corporate cabal who is using them and I blame the rich suburanites who want cheap household labor. They won't pay a welfare mother a decent wage to clean their homes but they will exploit the wives and mothers who are here illegaly often subjecting them to abusive treatment. It happens only because the oligarchy in this country wants it to happen. And there poor-white, bigoted supporters are too blineded by their racism and anti-Demism to see or understand this.

Given our current trajectory, sooner or later our economy will become worse than Mexico's. Then people just won't WANT to come here anymore, and illegal immigration won't be a problem (though perhaps illegal emmigration will be a problem by then, the way things are going...).

2. Unfortunately the Dems in Wash DC are just as bad as the Reps |
|
on this subject. I emailed my hero Barbara Boxer about this over a year ago and her answer was but we really do need these people to work the field,etc. (don't remember her exact quote, but close). The Dems have just as many rich constituents as the Repugs and neither side will ever try and fix this problem. I totally agree with you though, and I'll bet if we checked we would find that many Congressmen/women have hired help from the illegal sector. Sad.

4. What's amazing is you use the term "illegal" alien and Wash DC |
|
misses the point entirely. I don't blame people for wanting to come here for a better job, but illegals sent 8 BILLION dollars back to Mexico last year; now, at minimum wage and the fact they have to pay for food, lodging, etc here, just how many people are we talking about here? We're being lied to about how many there already are and more come over everyday. It needs to stop.
