Here is what I send to businesses, and specifically to the FF chains:
Due to your compromising of American laws and traditions, I will no longer be patronizing any of your establishments. Until you enforce immigration compliance, and also stop enforcing bi-lingual (spanish) practices I will not spend one more dime with your business. Your business practices hurt Americans looking for work, and you degrade our countries traditions by requiring employees to be bi-lingual. you print and advertize in the US with spanish. We are NOT Mexico! I am encouraging everyone I know to follow suit and hopefully your bottom line will feel this. We Americans are fed up with our country being overrun by illegal immigrants, and more so identify businesses such as your with aiding and abetting this.

As far as legal immigration goes, I think it would be political suicide to increase legal immigration at this time. Once a back issue, immigration is now one of the biggest issues out there.

This is not the America it once was! We are trillions of dollars in debt. and our people are being displaced by millions of illegals. The Feds have failed miserably in doing their jobs!

Question for you.
I want to ask you directly:
-Do you and why do you pay a federal income tax?
-Do you and why do you have a driver's license and PAY a fee to re-register your car each year?
-Are you aware of the implications doled out towards you by using a SSN as identification as a "person?"
Why you ask, did I ask you these questions?
If you aren't: then you should have no business whining about illegals when your ancestors were ALL illegal.
-Do you and why do you pay a federal income tax?
-Do you and why do you have a driver's license and PAY a fee to re-register your car each year?

Since the issue at the core is all about "contracts" ask yourself did you agree to be bound under
the 14th amendment, to become a 2nd class of citizen with ONLY granted privileges (instead of right?) Nope.

That is another trojan horse, BS argument, spread to send people on snipe hunts.
States and local governments are the authorities far more likely to abuse your rights. They are the people who want to tell you what you can or can not do with your partner in bed. That local judge has so much authority over you, and you are clueless to the reality. The people who feed you this 14th amendment manure want to give that local judge ( to whom they are probably related) even more authority over your life, by making the fed the bogey man. Last thing they want is some outsider interfering with how they abuse the local population.
The fact you provide an insurance number is a testament that you are a person of the eState, and
that you are a slave by definition, a corporate instrument that is used to conduct business with other corporations.

The idea sounds good on paper and I'm for it but it wouldn't work
Americans like cheap food more then they are willing to admit. Eliminating the immigrant work force would have a dramatic effect on the cost of food.
Until the country is willing to pay 4x the price for bread nothing will change. America is built on the exploitation of the lower classes which isn't going to change anytime soon..
Sorry, that is just utter B.S.
While I agree there is much exploitation going on, and things need to be fixed, in terms of profit sharing and wages.
But using legal American workers will not dramatically increase the cost of our food, vast majority is done by machinery; plucking the product from the field is just a small part of the cost.

A business paying someone 2 or 3 times more then what they currently paying thier workforce to get a job done won't affect the prices we pay you say? So you think those farmers are just going to suckup the cost increase in thier labor force?edit on 9-6-2011 by Procession101 because: (no reason given)
