How do You think Employers Should be Prosecuted for Hiring Illegal Aliens?
Fines, Jail Time, Loss of Contracts are some Ideas from East Texans to KTBB's Garth Maier

Tyler—
East Texans say how they think employes in this country should be treated if they're caught hiring illegal immigrants.
I would mow lawns and do yard work if I needed a job, and in todays economy, I am sure many out of work/food/gas/homes, would be glad of the work. I think anyone caught entering this country illegally should be shot. That would make illegals think twice about sneaking over here and taking my food of my kids table.

3 weeks agoWhat about the illegal who is working 3 fast food jobs and his family is also collecting welfare? I do not really blame the illegal worker. I blame greedy corporations and employers. I'm no marxist. However capitalism should not be allowed to go to this extreme. The extreme of human exploitation.

4 months agowhen was the last time any of you walked into your favorite restuarant and asked the manager to gaurrentee that none of his employees were illegal?......when was the last time you made a contractor sign and addendum to your contract stating plainly that he hires no one but USCitizens?...how many of you have tyson meat products in your refridgerator? when was the last time you wrote a letter to your Representative asking about those gentlemen who were laying asphault on the federally funded interstate?

9 months agoFirst Offense.......SEVERE fines.
Second Offense......SEVERE fines and 10 days suppension of production per. each foreign national illegally employed.
Third Offense.......Indefinate suppension of production. Criminal prosecutions of culpable management level employees,board members and if reasonable CEOs and culpable share holders for violations of,among other charges, the Interstate Commerce Act (raisch vs. ashcroft.."the disruption of a previously established market"..in this case being the JOB MARKET. Loss or revocation of state and/or federal board certifications,permits,licenses and tax status. Full and complete civil and financial restitution to ANY US citizen found to be inconvenienced by the miss-use of thier Social Security # by any foreign national illegally employed by the company.
Also...I think it would be beneficial to see which of our elected offials have undermined efforts to secure our borders in a TIME OF WAR..................

9 months agoAsk yourself, whose going to cut our grass, grow crops and sweat out there in the heat, roofing, and make mexican resturants. No one! So what if employers hire immigrants, they do all the work anyways. What is this world coming too? Nothing but races. I wouldn't do anything to the employers. They are many different other races out there that come from different other countries that works here in the U.S.Chinese, Arabians, Africans, and etc.not just hispanics. There are some people who are lazy, I've seen it myself. That's all you here on the news, news paper, internet and etc. ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS!!!! So there you have it, I would not do anything to the employers.

ILLEGAL has NO RACE....but its still illegal....And you are correct that others ignore and abuse our laws..however NONE of those other countries can claim that 10% of it's ENTIRE population is here as is the case Mexico....

9 months agoYes, I think people who hire illegal aliens should be punished, and punished harshly. I've had to compete against them and it's very difficult.

9 months agoSo what, there are different people in this country from different other countries that are here working not just MEXICANS. This country is all about races now. Don't hate!!!!!!!! Because if it wasn't for hispanics doing your yard work, roofing, mexican resturants, building and remodel, would you be out there do it. Of course you wouldn't. My answer, I would hire illegal immigrants, even if they were Africans, Chinese, Arabians and etc. If it wasn't for chinese, we wouldn't have a chinese resturant, If it wasn't for mexicans, we woudn't have a mexican resturant. And boy I see a lot of people that loves mexican food. I wouldn't give them a fine or nothing. So there you have it.
