Anti-business Republicans
It's amazing to see the "bro-business" conservative republicans bashing businesses for hiring undocumented workers. Not so pro-business now huh?
Obviously these immigrant bashers have never run a payroll or hired anyone in their lives. I've never met an employer, and I know a lot of employers, who hires undocumented workers knowingly. We are supposed by law to check documentation, and can be sued for discrimination for asking any more questions. Dammed if you do, dammed if you don't. Kind of like undocumented immigrant hiring Mitt Romney.
Just Like happened to Swift Packing in Worthington. They get fined $200,000 by the federal government for discrimination for asking their employees too many questions about immigration status. Then they get raided by the federal government and have over 2,000 of their employees arrested and their plant closed for days. And they were in the voluntary electronic program to check social security numbers.
We can only check papers, and put them in a file. Now the anti-regulation anti taxes hypocrite conservatives want to turn employers into immigration officers and over burden them with more regulation. As the head of Homeland Security recently said "Yes we can pay non-immigrants enough money so they will want to pick up lettuce in the fields, as long as we're all willing to pay $100 for a head of lettuce"
The only way to end illigal immigration is to pass comprehensive immigration reform and allow people to have a real chance to become legal immigrants.
Republicans must be real desperate. Immigration was never an issue in Minnesota before December 2005, when Pawlenty made it an issue. Now the republicans have nothing else to run on so they desperately cling to this issue. Back in the eighties when Ronald Reagan ran the Republican party they won by telling us what they were for. Now Republicans think they can only win by telling us what they are against: Gays and lesbians, immigrants, and now employers. No wonder Republican candidates are seriously lagging democrats in raising money.
Dick day and his kind will be treated by history as the segregationists in the south in the sixties. But we'll have to put up with them for a while longer. Specially now that immigrant bashing is turning to be such a cottage industry for anti-immigrant groups and anti-immigrant CNN.
I sat the other day with a Latino friend of mine who is more conservative than Ronald Reagan and Newt Ginrich combined. He is a very successful businessman He has never, ever voted for anyone other than Republicans. We both voted for Bush. We sat disgusted with the last Republican debate and seeing Gulianni and Romney out Trancedo each other. It was pathetic. The only hint of decency in that debate came from McCain. We both pledged to vote for, campaign for and raise money for only Democrats in the next election. Time to raise a lot of money for Rep Walz. Day will loose and will be forgotten into history with his segragationist brothers and sisters from the sixties.
