With so many Americans out of work, why should Illegal Aliens have a Job Fair? (employment, March)

[LuckyGem]

This is truly unbelievable, what does the government do when garbage like this goes on right under their noses? NOTHING.

ICE should have been there with a bus to round up everyone who showed up without a legal right to be in the United States.

On Tuesday, a group known as Our Community Place held a job fair for those who may have more trouble than others finding work, including illegal aliens.

The event billed on the group’s website catered to those experiencing “Challenges with addiction, transportation, no training, health, education, no ID, immigration issues, etc?”

You are screaming at the government about this, yet, say nothing about the employers who are the whole reason its going on.

Thats the trouble with the right wing.

Sounds like there are groups that are less interested in politics and more in humanitarianism.

aiding and abetting illegal aliens should be illegal, no?

Businesses have to answer to the government also.

They should have been fined and had their business licenses revoked.

Immigration issues are synonymous with illegality? Providing professional advise to persons who may or are unsure about their legal status is aiding and abetting?

Is it asking too much not to take these threads at face value but instead follow them to their source and then apply whatever rationality that may have left to the topic?

Silly question I know, but I have to ask.

As for your second link, obviously you didn't go to it either since it only opens a menu page.

Why?

Because it is illegal to hire people who are not in the country legally, that's why.

No social security number, no green card means no legal right to work here.

Last time I checked the definition of illegal it meant "outside the law".

Is attending a meeting like this a legal reason to detain people to check their immigration status?
