Rofl...
How did the guy that talks to himself on the bus get internet access?
This guy is hilarious.
So will they be with the new law?The problem with the current law is that it basically gives employers carte blanch to hire anyone so long as they get a Social Security #.
They arent required to check up on it or anything.
How much will that cost businesses?
Anyway I think the current $10k fine is only for conspiracy, not simple employment.
Here's an interesting tidbit:http://www.newsobserver.com/1155/story/411982.htmlOne bill, sponsored by U.S. Rep. Sue Myrick, a Charlotte Republican, calls for $10,000 in fines against employers who knowingly hire illegal workers. Today the maximum fine is $250 per worker.
"Our immigration system is broken," Myrick said. "We need to know who's inside our country. Our main concern here is terrorism; there are a lot of people who don't like us and want to hurt us."
Today, potential terrorists can assume a Hispanic name and slip with ease across the country's southern border, she said.
But even if the federal government decides to crack down, it would need to find the resources to stop the flow.
In North Carolina, not a single business has been fined for hiring illegal immigrants since 1999. That's in spite of Section 274A of the Immigration and Nationality Act, the federal law that prohibits employers from knowingly hiring illegal immigrants.
Tom O'Connell, who runs the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement center in Cary, said enforcement of the law is difficult, given his limited staffing. It's more important, he said, to concentrate on finding and deporting immigrant felons and workers in sensitive workplaces such as nuclear plants or defense facilities.
"I can't arrest every truck full of painters going to some job in Apex," he said. "We don't have the resources."
So they keep coming -- some on tourist visas that expire, others by car or by foot across the country's southern border. Some are professionals, but the vast majority are people who come to the United States hoping to escape poverty and to build a better life.
Today, potential terrorists can assume a Hispanic name and slip with ease across the country's southern border, she said.
I guess we aren't worried about white-skinned foreigners, just the darkies from the South.
Yep. Since the 9/11 hijackers came for Mexico and not Canada.
It actually is getting worse...
I have a friend with a rather large ranch near Kingsville and in the last 4 years they have found 5, 13, 15 and 25 dead walkers on their place.
You can account for the increase this last year because of the dry conditions...
But that is just madness...
Their place isn't THAT big...
How many people are dying out there?
Thousands. We ran into one mojado at our deer lease in Northern Starr County that was in pretty bad shape a couple of years ago. His skin was all blistered and ed up from the elements and the unforgiving thorny brush of South Texas. The guy could barely speak so we gave him a one of our jugs of water and he went on his way. He told us about how he got seperated from his group after their coyote dumped them in the middle of nowhere late at night w/ no directions or map or anything and then later when his group encountered la migra everyone ran in different directions and he got lost. He had been walking (probalbly in circles) in the brush for 2 days until he ran into us. He had to drink water from muddy ponds and share water with cattle from their drinking holes :vomit. I doubt that guy ever made it. , I got to see 6 mojados run across my grandma's house in Rio Grande City durring spring Break two weeks ago. I was in her front yard watering her plants when 2 of them ran right in front of me and then 4 more ran right by. 5 males and 1 female and they were young, maybe 17-24.
Did you spray them with the hose?
They could've been terrorists!
Valluco is a felon!
Rofl... sorry that just made me laugh. Males and Femals... Mexicanus Illegalus.
So Taxonomic.
We used to have a problem with getting 40 at a time walk across our place, but then they had a huge bust and got most of the coyotes and we didn't see many for a few years... just occasionally the few loners wearing nice boots and a backpack (don't with these).
I thought of that afterwards. It just happened too ing fast, man. And then after I express concern to my grandmother for her safety, she's like, "Don't worry mijo they pass through here all of the time and they are in too much of a hurry to get as far from the river as possible."
You are so full of hate. It's revolting.
You are full of it. We don't need them. Mexico needs us. That is a fact.
Get your head out of where the sun doesn't shine. You gotta have have
some kinda warped outlook on life.
No... I'm pretty sure they do domestic jobs that "citizens" feel too en led to do.
I know I certainly need the ones that work for me (they have green cards).
One of them is the Hardest working SOB I have ever met or ever will meet.
My two nanies are from Ecuador. They are both ilegal (one of them recently married a US Citizen so she won't be ilegal for much longer). They both left kids back in Ecuador, kids they maintain through remitances. They are some of the nicest ladies I have ever met. I trust them my three kids on a daily basis.
Felon!
you don't need 5% of US workforce? u're not too much of a businessman are you?
No but they damn sure aren't the backbone of the workforce that some would
want you to believe. And I don't believe they are five percent of the workforce
either, that is except in the southwest part of the US. They have violated our
laws and should be treated as such.
that's right now you've gonne and united all immigrant supporters!!

Immigration Protests Continue all over the Nation
LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Tens of thousands of students walked out of school in California and other states Monday, waving flags and chanting slogans in a second week of protests against legislation to crack down on illegal immigrants.
In Washington, 100 demonstrators wore handcuffs at the Capitol to protest a bill that would make it a felony to be in this country illegally and would make it crime to dispense aid to the nation's 11 million illegal immigrants.
Immigrant supporters also object to legislation that would also impose new penalties on employers who hire illegal immigrants and would build fences along part of the U.S.-Mexican border. (Full story)
More than 500,000 people gathered in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday, and tens of thousands rallied in Phoenix and Milwaukee last week.
On Monday, California's Cesar Chavez Day, at least 8,500 students marched out of eight Los Angeles-area schools, including the San Fernando Valley and the wealthy coastal enclave of Pacific Palisades, said Monica Carazo, spokeswoman for the Los Angeles school district.
By midmorning, the protests had spread to downtown, where hundreds of students walked the streets and chanted. The boycott had the tacit approval of school officials in some of the heavily Hispanic downtown schools, where word was passed through hall posters and public address systems.
In some areas, teachers and administrators walked with students "as a safety measure," Carazo said.
A few schools chose to bar their doors to prevent walkouts. Officials at Huntington Park High School locked the gates after classes started, but the students climbed over a chain-link fence and joined marchers in their heavily immigrant community.
Police went on a citywide alert, but no major confrontations reported.
Hundreds of teenagers also walked out of several high schools in Dallas and headed for a rally at a park, some carrying Mexican flags and others posters calling for Congress to recognize immigrant rights.
In Detroit, protesters waving Mexican flags marched from the southwest side of the city where many Hispanics live toward a federal building downtown.
"We are illegal immigrants if you trace our heritage all the way back, but we are here and we are working and we are living the American dream," said Janet Padron, a 22-year-old Allen Park resident.
"Do you see the community?" Padron asked, pointing to the thousands of people around her. "Do you see how many people didn't go to work today?"
SON OF A ING ... I have been gone way too long... I agree with something Manny said!
Hahahaaa...
Riiiiiiiight. I live in ing Michigan (which is a faaaaar cry from any border with Mexico) and I can tell you with certainty that every landscaping business in the area is 70% Latino.
And those mofos WORK like friggin ANIMALS for $8 an hour. I worked for a now HUGE landscaping company when I was 17. Doing back-breaking work of all sorts, mostly hauling and such. Let me put it this way, if I even tried to keep pace with this 50-ish year old cat named (of course) Miguel, I couldnt.
When I am being paid, I work for my money. I really, really do(i know, i know, big accomplishment). But not like this guy. The foremen could say "Miguel, run thru that brickwall there until you knock it down" and homeboy would have done it...until the wall was rubble....in under an hour. Just cost the company $16 (with insurance costs) to tear down a wall.
Another story (again, I live in Michigan). I lived in some apartments that were just above ghetto level. Lived there 1 year (man, it was really fun) knowing I had to get out or I would get to used to the lifestyle. Anyway...
The apartment across the hall was vacant for a long time. Finally someone moved in (door was open). 5 Mexican dudes just moved in that lived in Texas but were here in Michigan for the season (construction season, summer). Honestly, my prejudice preceded me. I was nervous. I am a skinny dude. I live with my girlfriend, who is hot. These cats were....raw to say the least. One of them named Eddie was obviously the alpha. Loud, drunk, always talking in Spanish. Obvously, I avoided them like the plague.
But thats where I was stupid. Very stupid. I judged them only on appearance and observing their actions.
One day, one of the guys that spoke English better than the rest (Nick, which he pronounced like 'Neeck') approached me. He was really cool. He introduced me to the other guys. Real nice guys. I was in my "party-at-all-costs" mode of life and these guys partied really hard. Naturally, we hit it off.
Wow...was I wrong. They all had families, wives, kids, etc in Mexico and Texas. They drank like alcohol disappeared in 24 hours if it wasnt finished in time. But you better damn well believe, Monday thru Saturday, staying up drinking and partying until 2-3am everyday, they were at work, on time, at 6am the next. Work 14 hours, come home to a ty 2 bedroom apartment with 5 peeps living there, fished catfish out of the streams around town for food (yuck), and did the partying thing all over again.
Moral...
At first, they were a threat. 5 guys, all under 30, 3 of them being HUGE. Then, they turned into security. I could leave my girlfriend home alone and know that if anything happened, she could knock on a door less than 5 feet from ours for instant protection.
Trust me, we never had problems. Those guys scared police away, nonetheless some whacko roaming the area.
I dont know if this means anything, I just thought it was relevant.
You're suprised?
They are good at getting over like fences...
That's why this border fence thing is a bad idea.
I'm surprised they locked the kids like animals. What about fire hazzards and . MOther ers
They lock school doors all the time now, not just for protests.
Don't get me started on the liberties that school administrators take with kids and their rights...
