Why haven’t we arrested the person/company employing the illegal aliens for brush picking? There is a law against it.

I happened to be heading up to Port Angeles the day this was going on. At the time, all I could think of is they had a line a brush pickers or something. There were two groups of cops and border patrol agents. The first group was heading west just beyond the bridge. They had a SUV pulled over and it’s contents unloaded, it appeared to be brush. The second group was closer to the Shine turn off with another car pulled over searching it. It wasn’t until just now that I have learned that this was supposedly a random search of drivers. If they were on to illegal aliens picking brush, go ahead and get them but leave everybody else alone. All Americans should question this type of action. This is so against what our country stands for. What’s next, door to door searches of our homes. Sounds far fetched but I would have never believed that they were randomly pulling cars over to be searched either. One thing leads to another, be aware of what is going on before it’s too late.

Of course illegal aliens come here or go elsewhere because life is better for them than their home country…the same with those who immigrate here legally.

And you’re right…the employers get cheap labor… and the rest of us pay for it.
How do we find these employers and have them arrested for breaking a twenty year old law against hiring illegals?

If only McCain could have pushed his amnesty bill through, then this wouldn’t be a problem since they would now be legal.

What no one here and most people across the country fail to comprehend are three things about illegal alien workers in our United States. First, they are here to work for incredibly higher wages than they can earn in Central America, South America, The Caribbean, Africa, or Asia. Second, there are untold unscrupulous employers in our United States who are only too happy to pay them wages that are lower than even minimum wage and avoid paying any employer taxes (federal, state, or local) or benefits. Third, the illegal alien employees also pay no federal, state, or local employee taxes. Period.

When federal, state, county, local officials, and citizen tax payers get fed up enough to take action against illegal HIRING PRACTICES and failure to pay taxes by the EMPLOYERS of illegal alien workers, most immigration into these United States will once again be legal.

‘Common sense immigration/worker visa program’?

And how will that work?
Will everyone who sneaks across our borders be eligible to belong to the program?

Seems odd that no one seems to mind that illegals come across carrying all manner of disease. Why is that?

Is it unreasonable that our immigrations laws don’t allow sick people to immigrate here and infect the rest of us but it is okay if they sneak across the border and get here illegally.

Take 12 million wage earning, rent paying, supermarket shopping undocumented immigrants out of our economy and see what happens. Undocumented workers are the underclass that supports the low-priced fruit and vegetables on your table. They pay into a Social Security system that they won’t be able to access but which supports countless retired Americans. They clean your hotel room, prepare your restaurant meals, and build your houses. Instead of an “us against them” attitude which always seems to fail eventually, we need a “we are all in this together” attitude which will lead to a common sense immigration/worker visa program that everyone (except for the most unreasonable) will be happy with.

Nice Post, Bob. I enjoyed the sarcastic, tongue and cheek humor. Seriously though, this is very scary. No, I am not a liberal by any means. I hope the ACLU will file that suit for the legality of this. This is the only time that I see eye to eye with the ACLU. As a free people, I am not willing to give up my freedoms. This could go on to other government intrusions until this country becomes a totalitarian, police state. What are the border patrol agents doing at the borders? Why are illegal aliens not stopped at the border? I took a very serious oath to defend the Constitution Of The United States Of America against all enemies foreign and domestic. Hmmmm, it makes you wonder. Papers please?
