The thread is "can the us economy work without illegals". I'm having flashbacks of 2007 that's what guys like Romney and McCain were saying.All I know is 1999 there were hundreds of convictions and 2000 there were only 3. Bush and GOP turned a blind eye. Used illegals to lower wages. And it started on Reagans watch. Before him migrants only did migrant work and left after the season was over.BUT if that happens, those EMPLOYERS will stop giving money to the DemocRATS that enable illegals to come here! You think Obozo, and his lapdog Holder would apply the LAW to them....it's prosecutorial discretion!
You know nothing. I knew you would argue against going after the employers. Illegals would go home the minute they lost their job. Bye.
Who controlled Congress and the money?....I would LOVE to see employers arrested...why hasn't Obuma done that in 6 years????
Obama holds record for cracking down on employers who hire undocumented workers says Wasserman Schultz PolitiFact Florida
After multiple efforts, Congress passed the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act, which stated that employers couldn’t knowingly hire unauthorized workers. Employers must attest that they made a good faith effort to verify the eligibility of workers by completing an I-9 form. The documents are easy to counterfeit, so the federal government developed an online employer verification system in the 1990s under President Bill Clinton, and the use of it soared after 2007. That system, now known as E-Verify, is currently voluntary, though some states mandate it for certain employers.
Are you noticing the dates dummy? Basically Clinton tried to do something about it, Bush didn't and now Obama is again. You guys have to stop fucking up our country then blame the next president for not fixing your mess fast enough especially with all the GOP obstructionists in Congress.
"Between 1999 and 2003, work-site enforcement operations were scaled back 95 percent by the Immigration and Naturalization Service, which subsequently was merged into the Homeland Security Department. The number of employers prosecuted for unlawfully employing immigrants dropped from 182 in 1999 to four in 2003, and fines collected declined from $3.6 million to $212,000, according to federal statistics.
"In 1999, the United States initiated fines against 417 companies. In 2004, it issued fine notices to three."
At times, members in Congress have called for stiffer workplace enforcement. But when the reality hit home in their districts and led to complaints from business owners, politicians urged the federal government to ease up.
The number of I-9 audits soared from 503 in 2008 to more than 8,000 in 2009. So about a year after Bush left office things starting going back to normal again.
You intellectually dishonest stupid fuck!
Does everyone see on this thread conservatives are crying about illegal workers and on another they are arguing that small business can't afford to pay americans.and we need illegals.
Who's doing that?
