I realize this. However, he insists he is innocent and he isn't.

Simple analogy. If the only person buying cigs in your store is someone you know is 15 do you sell to them? Do you sell if that's the only way to unload your wares? Do you ask them to present ID, know it's fake yet sell them to a minor anyway? There are a lot of moral issues going on with situations like these too. If you can't do business without it being done somehow illegally, should you be in business?

You are correct. Although Clarks hires the contractor, if the contractor fails to carry the required insurance on his employees, and an employee is injured on the job, or damages property, Clarks would be held liable. Moreover, if the contractor fails to pay the employees or suppliers, they can place a lien on Clarks’ property and through the court force him to sell his house to satisfy the obligation. The fact that he “assumed” the contractor had all of his ducks in a row would not absolve him of liability. It would behoove anyone hiring a contractor to ensure they are operating within the law. A legitimate business owner would consider it a priority.

There is a lot of bad information, probably from Glenn Beck and his ilk about illegal aliens and field labor.

If you sit in your classroom and say everything the teacher says is wrong, while the teacher is correcting your bad information, and you call that futile sparring, you are exactly right.

But, that does not mean in actuality, that it is futile sparring, it is, presenting accurate information to people who do not want to hear it.

Kind of like a science teacher going into a nice Baptist school and presenting information on Evolution.

If you want to call the ensuing complaints from the Baptists futile sparring, again you are exactly right. Got it?

Arizona Bear, 0 for four actually, it was you that talked of the non existent slave conditions and the non existent cheap labor.
Your hollow ostentatiousness reminds me of The Emperor's New Clothes.

You wear them well.

And to date, he has failed to respond to any of the points I brought up in my initial post.

I guess some folks just find bashing others in a forum and bringing in countless straw man arguments more worthy of their time than actually focusing on the subject of these threads.

Well; the pro illegal side is losing the war, one battle at a time---------especially with this de facto depression we are in. It is rather amusing watching certain posters resort to barely veiled personal attacks--------it is underlining their impotent fury.

Thank you. This is what I was thinking. And it's been said before on this very forum.
