I agree with this.

Business regulations and taxes in California are ridiculous, and it is often liberals that put these thing in place.

Then again, it's the businesses job to follow the law. If they don't like the law, they need to move to a place that they can agree with.

I have no idea.

I know that they were breaking labor laws in China for a very long time.

China actually has very strict rules regarding working hours.

But, as most business people in the Bay Area know, the Chinese(both in their country and immigrants here) don't respect laws and often violate them blatantly.

In my line of work, I've seen it happen multiple times where a Chinese immigrant is blatantly breaking the law, and plays the dumb act when confronted. The last time was when a Chinese restaurant owner went dumpster diving for food behind a grocery store. The sad thing was, his restaurant was right next door. He kept yelling "it still good! it still good!" as he was being escorted away by store employees.

Yeah, I agree, Trump isn't going to stop squat. Some have reported that Trump told the NY Times editorial board that the promise of a wall is a ruse. Makes sense, since Trump refuses to allow the NY Times to release the tapes of those conversations.

Last summer I saw a guy (in the San Joaquin Valley) wearing a t-shirt that had "Go Ahead and Build a Wall.....We'll Dig a Tunnel" slapped on the front of the shirt.
