When I read the headline, I was ready to write a post about some liberal judge helping out criminals again.
However, in this case I don't believe it to be true. The law in question goes after businesses and landlords. I think it can be very difficult for employers to know if someone is legal or not.
If someone presents papers saying they are legal, then I believe the business is off the hook.
However, if there are no papers, or if the landlord or business purposefully knows the person is an illegal and still helps them, then I believe their should be HUGE fines.
I guess I'm not exactly how the bill was written.
There was one very important part of the story. A point that liberals want to forget about in regards to illegal immigration:
The city of 30,000 blames a recent rise in illegal immigration for boosting crime and overburdening social services.

I agree with you on this.
Not so much with the blame on liberals. It is a fact that Republicans want these illegals here, and import them for a cheap labor source, because they hate American labor.
There are few politicians unafraid to be on the correct side of this issue (which IMHO is to secure our borders and deport all illegals forthwith).
I guess there must be SOME business owners who want illegal immigration...but does that make them Conservative.
I have to agree BOTH parties suck on this issue...
But atleast SOME Republicans want to do it the right way
Hash,
Check your friendly neighborhood picketline. You may find some illegals paid by the union to walk the line for them. You may even find that the pay is sub-minimum wage with no benefits.
Labor unions are a mixed bag. I go back and forth on them.
I can tell you they are bad for a few reasons:
1. They protect EVERYONE. Sounds good, but it isn't. The turd that sucks at his job is protected just like the best worker, sometimes even more protected.
2. At times they demand such high waged and benefits that the company has to fire workers...in doing so not helping the workers or the company
I am not sure what companies would do without unions. I think the lack of skilled labor in the US would keep wages high for people who worked hard and had skills, so I don't think you would see what happened in the early 1900's.
