Should employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants be financially responsible for . . .?

Question

1) all costs associated with rounding them up and deporting them?

2) caring for their children who were born here and thus are legal citizens? (caring to include costs of housing, schooling, and medical)

Looking for reasoned answers and the rational behind them. If you can't defend your position please don't respond.

Sheesh . . . . too hard a question? Or no defendable answers?

Answer 1

I think your ideas are excellent and most people agree with you. That is probably why you have received no responses.
The problem is that most companies couldn't afford it. And the largest companies (like the oil business) would say they can't afford it. Then their products and services would be raised leaving the public paying. I think I would give the companies a stiff fine the amount being according to size and profit. Or put the CEO in jail for 6 months.

As to the babies born here, if their parents are illegals I would not give the babies citizenship. Pregnant women would stop coming here hopefully. I suppose that does mean we would have to make an amendment to our constitution, but why not? Our world has changed completely since the constitution was written.

Answer 2

I live in Dallas, and one of our suburbs, Farmers Branch, just passed a city ordinance to do just that. I am curious as to how it works out. The first thing that happened was that the Hispanics filed a lawsuit against them.

Something needs to be done. A friend of mine said to me..."I feel like I'm in a foreign country, but I can't figure out which one." We have so many immigrants here, from Vietnam, India, Somalia, Ethiopia, Jordan, etc. that we Anglos are in a minority. However, at least all but the Hispanic Illegals speak English. A country cannot be a world super power and not have a language of its own. Looks like ours is going to become Spanish. Problem is, as we can clearly see, Mexico and South America have never shown any inclination to becoming a world super power. We are getting all of the dredges from those societies. They are not brilliant intellectuals, and they will drag our country into 3rd world status.

Answer 3

the American Economy has alway depended on this cheap labor to do the worst jobs for nothing. It sucks but tax payers pick up the bill. I think will need to focus on companies that feed of the Citizens of the US like Walmart.

Answer 4

Yes.They are abetting the crime.

Withour a job ( and help on concealing themselves), most illegal aliens would not come to America for work.

Answer 5

I have to get 2 points. The employers should be thrown into jail.
