MINDING THEIR OWN BUSINESS

The other day, the majority of respondents to the WSJ?OTD said that they would want all illegal immigrants shipped out of the country or something like that.

I said that it was obvious that those people did not live in Southern California; or, for that matter, Arizona or Texas.

Or, maybe they were just a little naive about their own local economies.

And now we can say that none of the respondents were in the government either.

The Search for Illegal Immigrants Stops at the Workplace

And look at this one. The present system sucks!

If you try to obey the laws and regulations you just bring trouble on yourself.

Employers of Illegal Workers in a Catch-22

I am violating the law every time I get my house cleaned, the yard straightened up or if and when we do any construction that involves 'workers'. Even if the people are legal, I am not asking and they are not telling. I will just not get into it.

So does everyone else.

We had the same problem in Boston, sort of. Sylvia who cleaned and helped us in the houses for many years got married to become a citizen and they tried to bust her anyway. And now it is actually illegal to do it for the paperwork.

In the meantime, these people are denied the benefits of the larger economy as it intersects with government.

For example, many of them drive. I am not sure whether that is lawful now in this state or not. Many have licenses, nonetheless.

It is a bollix.

And the irony is that they are not taking any jobs away from 'amercans'. Very few, if any, of these jobs are fillable by welfare people which is where the bodies would come from.

Did I mention that I think it is fucked up?

Oh, and by the way, did you have any fresh produce harvested in the USA today? If so, you are a co-conspirator.
