That's exactly right! We are often very busy so they don't get to take a lunch break, but none of them complains because they know they can be deported in a second. They are really hard workers though, often working 12-14 hours a day.

I for one, as a business owner, am thankful for undocumented immigrants. If it wasn't for them and the state of California helping me, I would have to pay Americans better wages, contribute to silly things like 401k, unemployment and workers' compensation funds, follow safety rules and be subjected to lawsuits the same as employers in other industries. Thank God the Democrats keep the steady flow of cheap labor coming in.

WOW, what will happen when they report those hours and lack of meal time to the Dept. of Labor...but that is a different thread.

They will never. I've been using undocumented labor for 15 years and not once have I had an issue. Do you think they would risk being deported? Wow!

Just let them come in and they will work. I don't care if they live 20 to a house, that's their business.


Brilliant!!

Think of the money we could save!!

Hey, why don't we just stop arresting/prosecuting people for crimes they commit across the board?

No laws, no courts, no judges.....

We'll save a fortune!!

Entering the US illegally IS a violation of the law. You realize you're talking about people who HAVEN'T been granted asylum or even have legal permission to be in the US, at all.

As I said in another thread, these people did not sneak across the border. They came seeking asylum.
Actually, quite a few DID sneak across the border. They did not enter the US via a Port of Entry, as required. That's illegal. They get arrested. The kids go to CPS (Child Protective Services), etc.

I think you may be on to something there. But, for now, we have this right in front of us. These children for example can be trained in the industries - like house keeping, gardening and construction and then they can go through some sort of a training program, like an internship, so we won't have to pay but 2 or 3 dollars an hour for say, 5 years.

Guess what Skippy. To the best of my knowledge, criminals are always separated from their children when they are incarcerated. Do you know of ANY US prisons or jails that lock up children with their parents?

I have to wonder just why the left worries so much more about foreign criminals than about American citizens.

Oh, the anti-Trump nutjobs are just looking to make noise to distract from the IGs report. Let them have their little temper tantrum. They will get tired of holding their breath and stamping their little feet soon enough.
