off-course its illegal,you cant fire someone because off there politic opinions.if they took a day of work to attend then you can take disciplinary action as normal for lack of attendance,however you can only fire them if they have received previous verbal and written warnings.

It would be better to boycott the American businesses who hire illegals.  While you're boycotting, write your local government officials and ask them to enforce the laws by fining these businesses, deporting the workers, and not taking bribes from lobbyists!

Ive Said This 100 Times - Ill Say It Again\n\nIf Congress were to pass a law that said, quite simply, that the CEO(ANY EMPLOYER) of any business that was caught employing ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS went to jail for a year - \nNO EXCEPTIONS - \nThen within a month there would be ten million (more or less) people lined up at the Mexican border trying to get out of the United States And Back To Whatever Country They Came From.\n\nIf They Cant Work They Wont Stay\nNo Deportation Costs\nThey Wont Come Back\n\nWe Wouldnt Even NEED A Wall\n\nIf You Feed A Stray Cat, It Keeps Comin Around\nYou STOP Feedin Him, He GOES AWAY\n\n\nI LIKE FreedomHammers Idea Too

You should call your Federal, State & local politicians and let them know that if they can't do their jobs.  Americans will vote them out of office and put someone in their place that can to the job!\n\nAs for your neighbor next door.  Change your locks so his anchor babies can't get in.  Give them a rude awakening that the FREE RIDES are over and that they'll be going on a deportation vacation.

make it harder for them to obtain work.  Deny their children public school education.  Deny them all except critical medical care. Change the constitution so that children born in the US not non-citizens are not automatically citizens.  make all cash transfers out of the country subject to 50% federal tax if the sender is not here legally.  Foreign nationals cannot transport more than $100 US on their person when they cross the border.  etc, etc, etc

We need a law regulating the issuance of citizenship to NO MORE than 200,000 people per year. This would keep our country from growing into a population we cannot sustain on our natural resources. More than that number will be disastrous to our infrastructure and environment. The USA today allows approximately 1,000,000 people to immigrate here annually. We need to enforce the law we already have on the books on ILLEGAL immigration. That abuse needs to be totally stopped!!

I have been a long time supporter of this legislation.  Everyone needs to go to WWW.FAIRTAX.ORG and read up on this and sign the petition.  I believe anyone who reads enough to understand will be writing their congressmen to vote for this.

First, we need to seperate ILLEGAL immigrants and immigrants that have proper papers.  For godsake, they are violating our law and no other countries will allow that. They are telling the whole world that it's ok that they are breaking the law and can be excused because US represent freedom and they want a "better life"  Dude, give me a break.  Every citizen in US want a "better life", even Bill Gate and George Bush want a "better life" Every single human being in this world want a "better life"  Even terrorist want a "better life".  Are we going to allow member of terrorist stay in our country also. If Congress allow them to stay, we, US citizens, certainly will not have "better life".

Chris Simcox, president of the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps, issued the following statement on the passage today of an illegal alien amnesty bill by the U.S. Senate: \n\n"The vote to give amnesty to millions of illegal aliens by the United States Senate today, should it pass into law, would ensure that the status quo is maintained: the borders would remain wide open and the attractive nuisance of endless welfare and social programs at the expense of the American taxpayer would remain. Those climbing over the backs of those waiting patiently to abide by our laws; and instead breaking the law, illegally entering this country, and committing document fraud; those not paying taxes; and those hiring illegally would be granted full amnesty. American citizens would, of course, still be subject to prosecution for document fraud and tax evasion. This sends the message that if you play by the rules, you suffer; if you enter the United States illegally, you are not subject to the rule of law.\n"The American people do not trust the government to grant amnesty now and secure the borders later. We already went down that road in 1986, and the borders remain wide open still today. \n\n"Their constituents are watching, and these Senators will pay the price come election time. We are now focusing our attention on the House of Representatives where we do not expect amnesty to pass. The House is more respectful of their voters, as they stand for re-election every two years. The arrogance and cavalier disregard of the will of the American people by this Senate will not be forgotten-there will be an accounting. The American people are still sovereign in this country, not a gaggle of politicians pandering to their special interest donors. \n\n"The existing border crisis is a dereliction of duty by those entrusted with this nation's security, sovereignty and prosperity. The U.S. Senate just left America vulnerable to a tsunami of migrants at the border, to terrorist infiltration and to an unprecedented crime wave by drug smugglers, thieves, rapists, human traffickers and murderers who cross our frontier at will-and whose bravado and aggression will now increase with the Senate's message of our apparent national weakness. \n\n"But the Minutemen will remain on patrol, at our posts-and continue to build border fencing and barriers on private land with private donations until the U.S. government performs its most basic constitutional duty to these United States, and safeguards the people and protects the territorial integrity of America."

That the Congress is now wanting to give amnesty to all these people. I think there is a hidden agenda there and I think it will undermine the present midleclass. I live in AZ and see the jobs construction jobs these persons are taking that most of us couldn't live on. Now there is a push for minority small business owners, painters, stucco, roofing etc looking for bilingual persons to run crews of these people putting many of us oit of work.

If someone immigrates legally to this country they are Americans and many do serve their nation and economy quite well.  People born here have a sense of entitlement.  It does not help when our goverment encourages people to use welfare, wic and foodstamps with billboard advertising.  People do still serve their nation, just ask anyone who puts on a uniform of any sort. (even the factory workers count here)  Every generation has had their ingrates and there are aways those who counteract their behavior with achievment and generosity.

There was a bill just passed by the U.S were immigrants can't be in this country and anyone who hires an illegal or helps one will go to jell and fined. Now they are trying to make it a law, but there is a debate going on in the senate, they are debating over different propositions regarding if they should give illegals an amnesty,meaning they will become legal if they have been here for 5 to ten years, another one is the permit to work for six months, where after a period of a few years they will possibly be able to get there legalization,but with this permit they also have to leave after the time given and then get another permit to come back,(it's really unsure)and others I'm not aware of,  It's really ridiculous now that illegals have been here so long and have adapted to the customs of the U.S and furthermore there are millions of undocumented families and persons who have really struggled to get here to work hard and have a better life, people have lost there lives's trying to cross the border, and all they wanted was to come here to work and provide for there family, just like any other American. They just want an opportunity to make an honest living, and not live in there possibly corrupt countries where their own government fails them constantly and gives them no hope for progress.  Well this is my point of view, not to offend anyone or anything, everyone has the right to view this issue as they choose to, this is how I choose to do so and I hope it helps you at least to know one part of the issue.

It angers me that law abiding immigrants are being demonized the way they are.  They arent the problem the problem is and has been corporate outsourcing of jobs overseas.  The only problem I have is that because there are few incentives for these hard working immigrants to spread out they're not being thrown into learning english as well as years past.  By all means, come here, work hard, obey the law, spend money, and give your family a better life.

In favor:\n\n(1) It is a humane and compassionate thing to do, especially with undocumented workers who have been here for a long time, and have therefore taken roots here.  (It also helps to eschew the problem of separating families because some of the members are here illegally and some are not.)\n\n(2) It is a way to obtain some revenue: e.g., one could legalize an undocumented worker and make him or her pay--over the years, and in small amounts--the tributary debt he or she owes to the IRS, for all the years spent in the US illegally.\n\n(3) It keeps in line with America's historical openness to immigrants and refugees.\n\nAgainst:\n\n(1) It may encourage more illegal immigrants to come here.  This is a serious problem, and so amnesty should only be given if coupled with a substantial increase of border security, and a toughening of the regime of deportations, perhaps even with the criminalization of illegal trespassing.\n\n(2) It will infuriate simpletons in both parties, particularly in the Republican right-wing.\n\n(3) It will produce a block of future values-voters.

Thank you. As ridiculuous as that sounds, thank you for taking the time to obey our immigration laws. I agree with you that those that do not follow the laws are crimminals. I do not see you as an uncle tom or back stabber or whatever the others on here have called you. If you and thousands of others have taken the time to follow the correct procedures to obtain citizenship in this country, no matter how hard it was, you deserve to hold your head high. Those that don't, and continue to break our immigration laws should be rounded up and sent back to wherever they came from. I no longer want to support them through my taxes just so they can send the money they make back to their native country.
