YES! and then I feel sorry for everybody else (American Citizens), including the US Citizen workers. It not only affects the illegals and the employers….it affects us all.http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/…
WASHINGTON — The government’s plan to crack down on illegal workers could cost employers more than $1 billion a year and legal workers billions in lost wages, a study commissioned by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce says.
Those costs are enough to trigger a federal law that would require the Homeland Security Department to analyze more thoroughly the effect of its proposal, said Richard Belzer, a consultant hired by the chamber to do the study. It was made available to The Associated Press on Thursday.

No, but I do feel sorry for people who have nothing better to do than to sit around and bash others all day.

What did Hoover, Truman, and Eisenhower have in common?
Here is something that should be of great interest for you to pass around.
I didn’t know of this until it was pointed out to me.
Back during The Great Depression, President Herbert Hoover ordered the
deportation of ALL illegal aliens in order to make jobs available to American
citizens that desperately needed work.
Harry Truman deported over two million Illegal’s after WWII to create jobs
for returning veterans.
And then again in 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower deported 13 million
Mexican Nationals! The program was called ‘Operation *******’. It was
done so WWII and Korean Veterans would have a better chance at jobs.
It took 2 Years, but they deported them!
Now…if they could deport the illegal’s back then – they could sure do it today?
lf you have doubts about the veracity of this information, enter ‘Operation
*******’, into your favorite search engine and confirm it for yourself.
Reminder: Don’t forget to pay your taxes…
12 million Illegal Aliens are depending on you!

An affidavit, unsealed Wednesday, alleges managers at the Cargill facility in Dayton knowingly hire undocumented immigrants.
In the affidavit, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement special agent writes in October 2007, more than 25 percent of Cargill’s Dayton employees were undocumented immigrants, and Cargill may have been mistreating some of those employees.
“Our immigration laws are very important to enforce, absolutely. But, right now, we’re talking about the abuse of human beings. And I know that goes against the values we share in the valley,” says Rick Castaneda, chair of the Hispanic Services Council in Harrisonburg.
In the affidavit, the ICE special agent cites sources who say Cargill “treats pregnant women different by working them until the very end.” It goes on to say Cargill does this “because they know the employee is an illegal alien and they will not complain.”
Republican Virginia Del. Todd Gilbert serves on the House Committee for Militia, Police, and Public Safety.
“Here in the valley, we’ve seen what concentrated groups of illegal immigrants do to bring in drugs and gangs and all other kinds of influences we would not like to see here,” says Gilbert.
Gilbert represents Page County, which faces double-digit unemployment in this recession.
“To know that a local employer that’s nearby, that could be putting my constituents to work is engaging in this kind of behavior is really reprehensible,” says Gilbert.
“I think it’s a problem for everyone, no matter what side of the issue you fall on. It’s a problem,” says Castaneda. “And, what does it say about the values of our country if this is the way we treat human beings, and we treat people in our community?”
In response to the allegations Cargill spokesperson Rebecca Hayne says, “Cargill is deeply committed to legal compliance, and that means we are never knowingly going to hire an ineligible worker. We have programs in place to ensure we only hire and retain legal workers.”

I really love how people here are b*tching about the “honest” businesses getting beat out by the “greedy” businesses who are hiring illegal immigrants, and saying they’re not paying “honest” Americans the “fair wage”.
It’s CAPITALISM – illegal, but it’s still CAPITALISM. You know… the ideal that’s sooo much better and so non-evil compared to Communism and Socialism, which was what the Cold War was about.
It’s all good when you’re on the good end of the stick, but then you raise a sh/tstorm when it’s working against you.
The USA and the rest of the Western countries have made their bed, now they must sleep in it.

I have no pity whatsoever for anyone who knowingly hires illegal aliens. They deserve jail, and they ought to pay for the deportation of every illegal alien they hired along with their families/dependents.
I do feel sorry for those who have been deceived by illegal aliens who have stolen others’ identities. There are quite a few employers who, despite making every effort to verify that their applicants & employees are legally eligible for employment, end up harmed by lawbreakers’ additional deceits and deceptions, like identity theft.
