To me it just leapfrogs that the government can go harrass a business about anything then. That is what I am trying to get at.
Should the businesses be hiring illegal aliens? no. I agree with that.
But instead of harrassing one business at a time, legislation needs to be put in that they can only hire documented workers. And they need time to start a new hiring process. But many of these businesses hire legal workers as well. And to suddenly throught he business out of whack without a chance to adjust so the legal workers lose business isn't fair either. A lot of these are contractign companies or building/landscaping companies of some sort. And when they rely on each other, if one can't function, it hurts the others as well.

I am also thinking of it from this avenue....
How would you feel if the DEA came in to inspect everyone to see if they had drugs on them?
Or the IRS just barges in and starts checking the books?
I am not arguing with you that it is illegal to hire. Or that the people are here illegally. But I think that human search and seizures on the jobs are unneccesary and kinda creepy.
Wait till before work, after work, whenever.

They haven't played anything which is the problem. Nothing has been done. Little attacks here and there just are not working. We have millions of people here illegally. Arresting four or five is like cleanign up a tanker oil spill with a sponge.

I think they are ineffective. Much like the war on drugs. They knock out a dealer or two and call it a win. But in the scheme of things, it is nothing.
Control everything crossing the border including money and your gonna really start catching some fish.
Develope a legislation system where employees actually have to be ID.

While I do agree that how the united states is being run can be considered a model country ummm.... but I think Canada is doing fine.
only problem is that we got all these americans coming over for cheap pharmeutical products, because since your country's healthcare is so well run, sometimes... just sometimes they want a break from overpriced medicine.
So tell me something regarding your model country that you speak of
Can you tell me something that Canada can learn from the U.S.
Just one thing?????
Just one!

How about creating more businesses and job opportunities for your citizens. If your country was so damned good at doing that then why are there so many Canadians here in the Dallas area working technical jobs on H1B visas???
