My son would NEVER take a job doing the manual labor these guys do,
Maybe this is where the problem really stems from? Our kids are too soft.
If the employers were fined often enough and big enough they would eventually stop hiring illegals.
This would force them to hire people legally and because the generation today wouldn't take the jobs at the price they are offering it would force them to pay a higher wage.
I don't believe that this is off the topic at all because IMO stopping people to check papers will do nothing to stop illegals from coming into the country.
Just like a stray cat or dog that knows the house that leaves the food out. If the food is stopped they will stop coming to the house.
The illegals are the cats and dogs and the jobs are the food that is left out for them.
