Hiring illegals will not stop until the Feds take the CEO, CFO and HR director away in handcuffs and make them do the perp walk. Give them some hard time. Problem solved, no jobs illegals go home.

Why does this article focus on the "trauma" criminals face when caught breaking our laws. I would expect this drivel in the Washington comPost, not a serious news organization. Right on, Nickt1y!

We all can relate to the anguish such a raid must cause those families involved but they weren't too anguished or concerned about illegally entering this country,fraudulently applying for American jobs or taking Louisianna medical and educational services they cannot or do not pay for. To sing the old song "that we are all immigrants" doesn't fly anywhere else in the world and it doesn't fly in America today! The illegals must be arrested and sent out of the country until such time as they apply and come here legally--at which time we will receive them with open arms as we do all others.

That's 600 Americans who now will have the opportunity to apply for these jobs, perhaps even at higher wages than those offered to the illegal immigrants. And, that's countless Americans who have the opportunity to begin to recover from the identity theft and havoc this creates with their lives. How many American citizens have been traumatized? And where is the compassion for our poorest and most vulnerable Americans who are victims of illegal immigrants? The fact is, our President and most members of Congress have been utterly devoid of compassion for their constituents, the American people, who have placed their trust in these elected officials.

Notice how that miserable failure of a news agency, the ass ociated press, slants it to give most of the play and all the sympathy to the illegals?

The Associated Press should be ashamed of themselves.

WOW! Now we can have more jobs for Americans and we can start to see our unemployment numbers go down. It's about time!

Boo hoo hoo! Lets all feel sorry for the illegals! I'm sure they understood what was going on. They KNOW they are over here illegally. The sad thing is most of them will probably end up being released. Shame on Howard Industries and all the other employers out there that hire these people. Check out NumbersUSA to find out whats going on with illegal immigration.
