What's the difference between a crack dealer, a pimp, and a greedy businessman that hires illegal aliens? Nothing.
In significant ways, business people who hire illegals are, in fact, doing more harm to society than some of our worst criminals. These people take advantage of a cheap labor pool which, in turn, kills the need to motivate, train, and uplift our own citizens. Add to that all the hidden costs to our schools, hospitals, and police departments, and the extra financial burdens leave us increasingly unable to help our own.
The illegal immigration situation is the greatest "state-sponsored law-breaking scheme" in American history, and this indictment extends to a federal government that has been unwilling to deal with what has become the "political football" of the new century.
Congress continually fumbles the ball for fear that will cost them votes. We are demonizing illegal aliens...when the real guilt lies with the people who employ them.
It's the illegal jobs that fuel the illegal immigration: find these companies and punish them severely. Make it unprofitable to hire illegal aliens and the migration will reverse itself.
