Why Are Democrats So Against Deporting Undocumented Workers?

Question

"Nor has Pelosi been a fan of employer sanctions against the hiring of illegal aliens. In 2003, she accused immigration officers of conducting "terrorizing raids" on Wal-Mart stores that led to the arrest of more than 300 illegal aliens"

"She led the opposition and voted against the Secure Fence Act of 2006 recently signed into law by President Bush to build a 700-mile fence along the U.S.-Mexican border. [Note: Mexico indicated the border fence will work. That is why it is threatening to go to the U.N. to block the fence from being built].

She voted against "against a requirement that businesses use an electronic system to verify whether new hires have the legal right to work in the U.S. "

"She voted against a bill to make employers such as herself financially liable for hospital costs if ndocumented employees seek medical attention, preferring that either taxpayers foot the bill or that hospitals close under the burden, as many are doing throughout the Southwest." http://www.investors.com/editorial/editorialcontent.asp?secid=1501&status=article&id=247191278714751

Obama voted against making the Border Fence stronger and longer.
"Obama (D-IL), Nay [NO]"

Many undocumented workers can vote since they have fake ID's.

President Bush deports undocumented workers. That is why Nancy Pelosi is upset.

8 months ago: ...“A day after federal agents netted 1,300 meat plant workers in the largest immigration sweep in U.S. history, federal officials pledged on Wednesday to continue a crackdown on illegal workers and identity theft." http://www.swiftraid.org/media/articles/12-13-06ReutersUSChasesIDTheft.pdf

It is a myth vegetable prices will go up, and it is a myth we need undocumented workers to pick vegetables. By the way, do you actually think growers pass along the extra profits to consumers? The price of lettuce will stay the same.

Machines can pick tomatoes faster than undocumented workers. Also, Americans using cherry pickers can pick avacodos and fruit faster than undocumented workers. The problem is growers found it is cheaper to hire undocumented workers than to buy new equipment. The growers don't pass along the savings to consumers. Unfortunately, tax payers end up paying the bills for undocumented workers. California alone spends over $10 billion a year on undocumented workers. In Los Angeles, it is shown that undocumented people use the health care system just as much as Americans do. The problem is undocumented workers don't pay their bills.

Answer 1

Since felons cannot vote, they want illegals to get citizenship so they can vote democrat.

Answer 2

I hate this just as much as you. Call me ignorant, but I would like to see them have to go home. Logically, however, I do not think that this is the best for the united states. It will take more effort and money to send them back then to legalize them. Legalize them and tax them. They want the benefits of america even though they come here illegally? Great. Make them pay for it. I would even go so far as to say they will need to owe the government back taxes for utilizing its services illegally for God knows how many years.

Answer 3

They want them to stay so they can have a reason for more socialized medicine and somone to give away all of our money to.

After all we need more brainwashed lazy Americans who will vote for the socialist repbulic of liberal America one day

Answer 4

We like grapes and oranges and avocados and artichokes and asparagus and tomatoes and lots of other tasty, nutritious foods that would rot in the field if there were no Chicano migrant laborers bringing in the crops.

Answer 5

Pelosi thinks laws are only for people who can't afford to have a maid or gardener.

Answer 6

Because they don't want to upset the Hispanic community!

And they want to the votes, so they can further their Socialistcic agenda.
