I am all for boycotts. I would boycott a business who hires illegals because they are violating the rights of those illegals, evading taxes and because they are hiring illegals because they do not want to pay for all those job rights that an American worker has. Yeah they also cannot threaten an American worker with deportation. I am all for boycotts of any dirty business person. Walmart would be a good example. They use bad practices in so many ways and they use illegals too as part of that. Yeah sure I would do that whenever I know about it for 1001 reasons. Yeah there are plenty of Americans here who need jobs and are unemployed so they can just fill all those jobs with them 1st before they start going out of the country for other people.
Sign Me up I will join that boycott with all of my others. Not because I hate illiegals, but because I hate busineeses that violate civil rights and do not participate in fair business practice.

That would be hard to know in CA. I don't. And even if you a business that hires "lawfully", there is no guarantee that someone isn't using a false identity.
I-9s are required for proof of citizenship and worker eligibility, yet there is no agency confirming that the information provided on these forms is not counterfeit.
Likewise, in CA employers are required to sumbit SSNs and hiring information to the EDD, but in 10 years of personnel management, I only had ONE applicant rejected due to an inconsistency in a green card...and I was the one to catch that!
My guess is that about 10% of the employees I hired was illegal...using falsified documents. How is an employer to know if someone is illegal if they produce the documentation reqired by the government that allows them to work? There is no system in place to verify information BEFORE an employee is hired. Ususally by the time EDD gets back to the employer, it is 6 months to a year after the new hire info has been submitted and the seasonal employee is long gone.
Calling for a boycott of business that hire illegals would require you to stop traveling, eating at restaurants, getting your clothes drycleaned, drinking wine, getting your car washed, going to Target and Wal Mart and every other store, etc. The truth is that there are illegals working in nearly EVERY sector of business.
If you have an issue with "illegals", then you should be doing something about changing the social structure and corruption in Mexico - go, teach the people how to be self-sufficient and care for their own!

I used to try, but I have pretty much stopped. I can't see the point when most authority in this country is welcoming them with open arms and only a handful of citizens seem to give a damn.
I heard a news report this morning that 1 in 6 hospitals have closed in the last 10 years. Hospital spokespersons site noncollectable bills as reason for the closures. Fairly or not I attribute this largely to illegal immigration. Illegal immigration is a severe drain on America but too few are willing to even address it. Sadly it has already spread to the point where almost 1 in 10 people you pass on the street is an illegal.
I'm sorry to say it but I think we are beyond help. The US we know is no more and will never return.

Not much of a point anymore. The economic reality is that most companies are two mulit-faceted to discriminate on the basis of hiring illegals. Last year Wal-Mart was using a subcontractor to clean its stores. It was suggested that Wal-Mart didnt know that the company hired illegals, but I highly doubt it. What matters to companies is the bottom-line. Cutting costs by subcontracting work to a company that uses illegal workers is the most economically efficient choice.
Sure you can say the company is hurting the country. Boo hoo. Companies only care about their shareholders and who is going to really boycott Wal-Mart. Most of the US population is lower middle-class to extremely poor. I dont really see most of them to start shopping else where.
The real solution is to make it felt at the polls. Get out and vote and dont bother with the boycotts.

we are able to boycott those that employ such extremely some it type of feels they ought to understand, and income this through an middleman so that they do no longer ought to envision records themselves. in spite of the indisputable fact that, at the same time as i'm boycotting Tyson ingredients and Foster Farms it really is extra from self renovation than political action. i changed into repulsed through the articles about ailments illegals (only a number of route) usher in with them. i idea that those who worked with nutrients had worry-free well being screening, yet I even are transforming into confident in the different case. fortunately, there are some markets close to me which have their own butchers.

Every decision and choice I make is a 'vote.' I do not support businesses whose practices I don't approve of, I don't go to movies with actors who use their status for a political platform I don't approve of, and I don't buy music from artists of the same mind... it is the best freedom of choice I and we all have.

Not me. Its like trying to buy all American, you would spend your life in agony. America is outsourcing so much that even if i dont go to these businesses that hire illegals, I am bound to unknowingly buy products made by them or probably made by child laborers under horrible working conditons in Asia, Africa and South America. Its a no win situation.
