Aren't Mexico's problems fueled by an under-educated population and poverty, which are directly linked?
What will the US look like in 25 years if all states refused to educate the millions of children here, who btw, won't be going back to Mexico, which I think some people think will happen.
Any thoughts?
Have an opinion of Texas Dream Act? I think it is the ONE thing Perry got right while governor.
Instead of bitching and moaning about illegal aliens and making laws against them, what needs to happen is for the EMPLOYERS who hire illegal aliens to suffer serious consequences for breaking the law. The employers need to have staggeringly high fines and jail time for the owners. If just that one thing was done, a large part of the illegal alien problem would go away because if there are no jobs, period, the people would have to leave the country.
I agree that the employers should be nailed, big time. I don't understand why someone is not focusing on making a way for employers to get these people here legally. I know In Mo and Georgia, they are already having a hard time getting enough workers to harvest crops. I just read in my landscape contracting magazine, that the contractors in Az,
The Obama solution is to gut our federal education standards "to improve" our education system. ROFL.
It appears many of your concerns have been thought about by the Obama administration, and carefully reviewed by the court.
Ultimately the Supreme Court will likely take a look.
Being from an multi-generational agriculture family, we have hired illegals ever since I can remember. I may hire one or two to repair my home.
I've had 2 contractors out, and one coming tomorrow. Two told me they want the big job, but they don't want to do the really hard job that has to be done first. The third left and won't return my phone calls. All white men, with all white helpers.
The longer it takes, the more damage is being done. So until I find someone to do it, I'm stuck.
Hottllipps, I also have placed ads looking for help around here in the past. Two ads, to be exact. Zero calls. So I "borrowed" a neighbor's illegal hand because I desperately needed help.
My family could not, I mean COULD NOT, find a white or black man to do some of the nasty things that illegals are willing to do. For example, starting from the top of a triple decker cattle trailer and shoveling crap. By the time they get to the bottom deck, they could be standing mid-thigh in it. It is one nasty job.
So I'm divided on the issue of how to handle employers.
