Are there any other places where they are raiding businesses for Illegal workers?

Yes, that is going on here in Utah too. Over the weekend police were ever pulling people over who were hispanic & asking them for papers. it's awful & it's seperating so many families who depend on these people.

The crimes will still be on record to protect corporations from hiring bad people. Just that you can't be arrested or be guilty for all previous crimes. For any new crimes you commit, you are not protected by the amnesty.

There are hundreds of similar businesses.  Do you have ANY additional info?

That all depends on whether the gardener and/or housekeeper is here legally.  If they are, great.  If they are illegal, then yes, you are part of the problem and both you and the worker should be reported to the INS.  And you should be ashamed of yourself for hiring a criminal.

Illegally -- How Else ???

The answer is simple.  Give heavy fines to those employers who  violate our law by hiring illegal workers.  If there were no jobs, there would be no illegals. This is not done because it does not serve the corporations who profit from this and the destruction of our lower and middle classes.  Illegals are slaves who will work for less and without benefits, something corporations make huge profits from.  Follow the money.  You might ask why our laws are not enforced, but rather we are led to debate an army and Berlin type wall on the border?

If you're going to do a strike, maybe you should also contact taxi drivers too, if they have to buy their own gas (that's how it works in China, anyway). That'd really get the attention in a dramatic way of city-based bureaucrats and business-leaders.

I'll agree with that....and say the REAL crime is not enforcing on employers that encourage people to move to the US illegally to begin with by not observing US labor laws.\n\nWe need: \nemployer enforcement\nborder enforcement\nfrank and honest dialogue with the public on the issue.\nIf those 3 things happen, we'll see a lot less illegal immigration.

I have worked in resturants, and dug graves, worked on a farm, drove truck, in a factory, and worked some construction, I would do it again if able. I wonder what some people do not know about the word ILLEGAL. it is scarry that criminals are allowed to just roam in the US without knowing who they are or what they are up to.

If you want to stop hiring of illegals, simply place the CEOs of a few high-profile companies in jail for hiring illegal aliens. There have to be line workers or janitors without papers in almost any major corporation in America.\n\nAnd while you're at, put their neighbors in jail for hiring illegal nannies and gardeners. Let's see how Muffy and Trevor like the big house.

They did something illegal. Isn't that the definition of a criminal?\n\nI'm tired of the stereotype that Americans wouldn't do the work that illegals do. Illegals do all kinds of jobs for less than minimum wage which drive the wages down for U.S. citizens. Construction jobs are an example. There are lots of illegals doing construction jobs that Americans used to do because the companies can keep more of the profits if they pay less for the workers. All that does is make companies wealthier and Americans poorer. Illegals are stealing jobs that Americans have done for years.

Don't know.  It's rather a gray area.  They are here illegally, so I really have no idea what legal rights someone would have when they invade the country.  You might be best off if you turn them in to the authorities if you're worried about getting in trouble for keeping them.  Otherwise, you aren't doing much more than many businesses are doing, except that you aren't paying them anything & are whipping them.  If you pay them a couple of bucks a day & don't whip them, then you are about as legally liable as McDonald's, Wal-Mart, & all the many other businesses who knowingly evade taxes by hiring illegal immigrants instead of U.S. citizens.

Because businesses want them here illegally so they can exploit them and leave taxpayers to pick up the pieces.\n\nIt's all part of a big conspiracy. I'll send you the newsletter that will explain everything.

Fire them on the spot! Even if they are supporting illegal immigration, but are a legal U.S. citizen...they are still saying criminal activity against my country is ok. Why would I want someone with that mind-set working for my legitimate business? Hell no!

Nope. The only workplace encounter I ever had with an illegal immigrant was in the kitchen of a restaurant. This guy was from Mexico... he was a GREAT dishwasher... I mean that sincerely. It's not an easy job. He did his job swiftly and without complaining. He was much better than the dumb guy they got to replace him when they found out he was illegal.
