BRAVO maybe Hell yes is a “better” word choice. I live in South Florida after Hurricane Wilma my wife and I made it a point to ask roofer contractors if their labor was legal? We “found” a guy who said his people were…. showed me documentation… and GUESS WHAT….???? his was the second lowest BID we received to replace our roof…. (he did replace our roof and w ARE satisfied) How much is cheap labor with LOWER cost quotes and HOW MUCH is over-priced quotes where the contractor makes XXXXX Dollars with cheap illegal labor?
I WISH that The Plam Beach County Sheriffs Office had the SAME guts to enforce CURRENT laws…. I ONLY wonder if the Fed’s followed through and sent the people caught BACK?

Rog1999, while you do have a valid point in terms of earnings, it is NAFTA that collapsed the peso to a level of unsustainability. NAFTA effectively put corn farmers in Mexico out of business. The strange thing today is the peso is still dropping in value. In fact, Mexico is now attractive to China, to the point that Chinese businesses are relocating to Mexico to set up shop there. How did this happen? Thank those who supported NAFTA, and all the other rotten trade laws we know have.

If you were permitted to go to Mexico and get a job, you would be lucky to make enough money to live on, there would be nothing left to send home. The wide difference in the earnings between Mexico and the US is the main reason for illegals to come to the US.

chuck, I agree with you, however IF we wanted to we could make cards like money, that they could not copy, and that would help the employer.

To Luis98m: The citizens did not apply for the jobs earlier since they were taken by the illegals. Once the citizens found out there were now 12 openings, it drew about one hundred applicants; all U.S. Citizens. Employers dont’ have to have an ad in the paper to advertise for illegals…it spreads by word of mouth among them that a certain place is hiring them. This is how they get hired. We have a huge problem with illegals here since business owners advertized at the border there were all sorts of jobs here…no, this is NOT a rumor.
