The problem is, I don't see the corporations as being the guilty ones so much as the small and/or individual, unscrupulous business owners.
The whole issue from top to bottom is a classic example of a government's elected officials not representing the wishes of the people who elected them. On this issue in particular, it's blatant and right in our faces.
Theres sure nothing standing in the way of Congress writing, and enacting legislation to address the problem of illegals...all illegals....and securing the borders.....after all...THATS THEIR JOB....not the Presidents...
I love how RGS ignored the thread after it is proven he is uneducated and too dumb to understand public policy.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight...and the fact that Baby Bush has vetoed anything of worth and there's no override yet?
Except there AREN'T any clear wishes of "the people". This fantasy you have that most of the country is somehow up in arms over the immigration situation is a fallacy. The reality is that nothing's changed in... well, pretty much forever. Should we enforce the rules as exist? Absolutey. But I find that government never does that. It goes overboard so it can pretend to do something, same as they do with guns or smoking or whatever issue it decides is the flavor du jour.

As for the situation relayed in the OP. Fact: Yes, the situation started under Daddy Bush. Fact: This administration and its CIS have discretion in terms of how this couple's case is treated. If it were up to me, I'd say they acted in good faith. They've been good "Americans". Leave them alone.
Now, you want to hear another really stupid "immigration story". My husband used to go to this guy for haircuts. Nice guy. Born in Italy. Moved here when he was about 3 years old with his family. Was a legal permanent resident and didn't even speak Italian. Just never got around to applying for citizenship, though he paid his taxes and worked legally as a PR. He spoke only English, mind you. What happens? The poor guy is caught with some pot. "Deported" to Italy.... couldn't even speak the language there. Didn't know anyone there.
I thought that was kind of goofy.
Really? Who do you think is picking our fruits and vegetables in this country? Those aren't family farms they're working for.
The dumb ones are the ones that think amnesty will solve anything. It did not work in the 80's and in fact is the reason we have 6 times as many illegal aliens in the country now then we did then.
Again for ignorant, neither party wants to solve the problem, BUT the vast majority of citizens WANT it solved.

yea, I don't know about when the law was changed but:
Anti-Discrimination Notice. It is illegal to discriminate against any individual (other than an alien not authorized to work in the U.S.) in hiring, discharging, or recruiting or referring for a fee because of that individual's national origin or citizenship status. It is illegal to discriminate against work eligible individuals. Employers CANNOT specify which document(s) they will accept from an employee. The refusal to hire an individual because the documents presented have a future expiration date may also constitute illegal discrimination.
is the first thing on the I-9. This doesn't make employers want to fine tooth comb candidate ID. Thus, the bubble jet solutions infiltrate the system. The first politician, left or right, that figures out the necessity for debit card style employment verification will be a popular individual.
take a look at it.

So the president should just sit on his ass and play politics, while a majority of the country wants something DONE about it?
He represents us. He OUGHT to be going to congress and telling them to fucking ACT on it. Or his administration could draft their own legislation.
After 9/11, how could any president justify allowing illegal immigrants to stay in this country? How can he be sure ANY of them are not part of a terrorist group? We're not just talking about Mexicans, we're talking about ALL illegals.
The only reason he wants them to stay, is because the corporate lobby pressure on him and congress to keep them here is too great. It's about MONEY. Our national security is being sold out to corporate desires.
If another 9/11 happens and it happens to be illegal immigrants involved, the blood will be on the hands of congress and the administration for not KICKING THEM THE FUCK OUT.
I COULDN'T AGREE MORE! Here is the clincher...Illegal's bring in revenue through sales tax and none of the 1 percent that rule America want to solve anything!...There is money to be made in strife. Show me a fight over anything and I will show you someone getting rich. Aids, Cancer, Brest Cancer will never be cured. There is too much money being made fighting for the cure and the drug companies are supported and held in high regard by the 1 percent that rule America. They don't call it the Drug Enforcement Agency for nothing! I have a knee that I just had surgery on and I got my pain meds and had to sign a statement that I would only get my meds from that doc...etc. and I swear to God it says in the statement that NOT taking my meds is a felony and I could go to jail...How fucked up is that...I believe this country is close to a revolution. VIVA REVOLUCION!!!
