I used to believe that shutting the businesses down entirely was a "cut off your nose to spite your face" type deal, but on reflection, if they're not going to employ workers legally anyway then wth not? Maybe when a few others see businesses go down they'll learn there are consequences.

What makes you think custodial/janitorial jobs are the "lowest of the low" anyway........not according to this report



Hundreds of union janitors fired under pressure from Feds » peoplesworld

If someone has been a janitor all their lives chances are they were not doing much with their life anyway.
Well, I don't know. My six year old grandson recently said he wanted to be the "school janitor" when he grows up. That came right after he gave up the "garbage truck" job.........

There are Americans who can only be janitors since they dont have the smarts to do better. Why should those jobs, which can pay well with bennies go to illegal aliens?
