You mean if an illegal is from Mexico he calls him a Mexican illegal?
Blasphemy!

He also doesn't seem to spend much time on the downside of kicking all
these low-wage workers out of the country.

You mean like mowing your own lawn and doing your own laundry?
Anyway, the economy is pretty complicated.
Who knows what the impact of the illegal labor is?

I know there's a huge workforce that picks most of our fruits and
vegetables for far lower wages than our fellow citizens are used to
getting paid. They also provide domestic help as you pointed out.
While you or I may replace our gardener (I don't have one) in tough
times, think of all the entrepreneurs who'd be **** out of luck if
they couldn't underpay someone to service their customers. Doesn't
help "small business" much.

I suspect that citizens or legal immigrants would have picked up much
of the slack.
Saw a news article a couple months ago about anglos working picking
fruit. Colorado I think. It's the economy.....

They were Mexicans in white face paid by Lou Dobbs.

He's just a little too hopped up. Now it looks like he's having to
bark outside the tent of a different circus.

I don't see a place for him. Given his birther madness, Fox probably
comes closest. Maybe they can turn him totally insane.

If anyone can push Lou into an onscreen heart attack, it'd be Fox.

Hannity will be glad to help him edit footage.

No, it is CBS that edits tapes. Puts sparklers in gas tanks to show they
explode, etc.

I do not believe the Hispanic community agrees with you. Either you

The "Hispanic community" wants amnesty for illegals - for the
Hispanics anyway. Dobbs doesn't.
That's all it is. Personally I'm with Dobbs on that.
It's got nothing to do with race, but with law and its purpose.

I don't want to go through language choices either, but sometimes a little
inconvenience is the price we haev to pay. Amnesty in name sounds terrible,
but in actual fact, it's either they remain underground or they're given
some opportunity to get legal. There's no way to remove all the illegals in
this country. Illegal immigration is actually down a bit, since the US
economy is so weak. We need better border security and we need to start
enforcing the laws already on the books with greater vigor.

They can get legal by going back to their contry of origin and get in
line for legal entry to the USA.

When you find an illegal alien, you summarily deport them.

If you enter the USA illegally then you do not respect the laws of the
USA and you should not ever be allowed back in.

Shoot to kill at the fences.

Far easier to investigate corporations, find examples of illegal hiring,
arrest the corporate officers on criminal charges, try them and if they
are found guilt, impose heavy fines on the corporation and the
individuals, and then imprison the individuals. For really long terms.

No get out of jail free cards for execs who claim, "We didn't know."

The illegal workers, after all, come here to make a few bucks to support
their families. The law-breaking corporate execs are trying to screw all
of us.

Let's start with the company you work for, Bertie... who is the
compliance officer?

A nice thought, but incredibly naive.

In Freehold, NJ, there is a muster zone for these illegals. They hang
out there all day waiting for work, for some landscaper or other
business to pick them up. Cash trade.

The town decided to shut down the zone, and began regular patrols to
disperse the crowd:

"Day laborers filed a federal class action lawsuit alleging the borough
prevented workers from seeking employment. The lawsuit was filed on
behalf of day laborers, many of whom are Hispanic immigrants, after the
town shut down a muster zone where the laborers solicited work from area
contractors. The class claimed they were harassed and threatened with
police action for assembling at the location to scout work. The Borough
of Freehold has agreed to settle the case for $278,000." -Newsday

See? They were not illegal immigrants, they were "day laborers", and
*many* were "Hispanic immigrants". All working for cash, neither the
employer nor themselves paying the taxes they owe the government.

Now talk about enforcing the laws already on the books.

The "Hispanic Community" is guided by a bunch of liberals looking for
votes. The folks *in* the community are led to believe the Republicans
are trying to persecute them by taking action against illegal aliens.
The folks *in* the communty don't have the sense to realize that the
job market is just that - a market. They can't seem to realize that
the millions of illegal aliens are making it much more difficult for
the *legal* immigrants to find work.

Yes, and many do. Many more don't, because we don't enforce the employer
laws we have.

Pretty much happens this way now. Of course, we have due process, to
hopefully ensure they are actually illegal. There was a case of that not
being followed and a US citizen was deported.

If you enter the USA illegally then you do not respect the laws of the
USA and you should not ever be allowed back in.

Yes, I agree also.

Lunatic statement. We're not North Korea.

No naive at all. You're saying we shouldn't enforce the law?

It's called due process. You can't shut down a whole class of people because
of a suspected illegal activity.

I'm not familiar with the specifics. Sounds like someone in the town screwed
up.
