There are so many businesses doing it (hiring illegals) that the law can't possibly take care of this.
We have to be happy with the occasional mfg bust that they throw us.

Well, my illegal guy who does work around my house has been very good and cheap to me. Just today he fixed my car (i hit a pole as i was leaving a parking lot) and he only charged me $1183. If i took my car to the Lexus dealer i've would have to pay more than $7000. Cant beat that !
We only use him and his brother and they do an amazing job doesnt matter what it is. And they are NOT lazy like the Americans.
So, that's my story that i'd like to share with the Tea Party.

Wait a minute. . . You hit a pole leaving a parking lot, yet your car only needed a paint job and the REAR light was missing? Unless you were leaving the parking lot in reverse, how on earth did you not have front end damage? Hmmm. . .

They could if congress would mandate e-verify. Employees already on the payroll should be checked also not just new hires.

True. But, we both know why they won't.

I'm game. Bust a few and the rest will dump their illegal alien help on the spot.

So I guess two wrongs make a right? As an analogy since there are many Americans who cheat on their taxes that makes it ok for me to do it? I guess some people have no conscience at all. I am only accountable for my own actions and will not follow the lead of lawbreakers.

Why didnt you fix it yourself? Lazy. Didn't know how? ignorance. Dont have the time? getting a leg up by exploiting slave labor and dumping on your fellow citizens(could be called traitorous) Why did you hit a stationary pole? bad driver. Luxury car, illegal slave labor, someone's not playing by the rules and thats not fair. This is the epitome of the problem and a hypocritical post. You've really done well for yourself and let the rest of us down
