Who is also against the Mexicans not working and should their employers fire them?

I am Hispanic, and I think that if you miss work you should be fired. I mean, you are exposing your employer as someone who hires illegals, that is not good for him, it should not be good for you. Don't leave your boss "hanging" and then expect sympathy.

I Agree With ohchiz(Above) To STOP This We Must Stop Employing Them, Make The Employers Responsible\nAnd They Will Go Home On Their Own\n\nThe economy is not going to collapse if the illegals go home, because they only make up 5% of the work force, and there are plenty of under employed americans to fill in after the illegals leave. Of course, we have to pay americans more and give them better work conditions.  These americans will spend their money here and invigorate the economy instead of sending some 20 billion a year to families overseas like the illegals do.  \nBusinesses like desperate laborers from poor countries because it's the next best thing to slave labor available.\nFinally, the illegals are good people, but it's not a question of who it is a question of how many.  Infinite growth in a finite space is illogical. On our way to collapse, we will lose our freedom.\n*************************\n***In Response To Ignatious(Below Me)\n\nNot NEARLY Impossible\nAnd We Can Do It Easily And Cost Effectively\n\nCongress Needs to pass a law that says, quite simply, that the CEO (ANY EMPLOYER) of any business that is caught employing ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS went to jail for a year - \nNO EXCEPTIONS - \n\nAnd We Must STOP Handing Them Social Services IMMEDIATELY\nA COLD TURKEY Approach - \nNO Health Care(Except Emergency)For ANYONE Not A Citizen\nNO Education Benefits For ANYONE Not A Citizen\nNO Welfare Benefits Of ANY KIND (Yes Including WIC Programs)\nFor ANYONE Not A Citizen\nSound CRUEL???\n\nWithin 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\nWhen They Cant WORK \nOr MOOCH Off The Systems \nThat Are Set Up For, And Supported By Taxpayers \nThey WILL Leave On Their Own\nOnce The Hammer Drops, And Is ENFORCED, \nThey Wont Come Back\n\nWe Wont NEED A "Wall"\n\nIf You Keep Feeding A Stray Cat, \nIt Will Hang Around Your Back Door\nWhen You Stop Feeding Him, He GOES AWAY

I think that the people that hire them should be held accountable for it. There should be jail and a large enough fine that it would be worth their time to hire ILLEGALS. That is the magic word here illegal.

There are a lot of americans willing to work. Take my sister...she was working at a garment factory that had been here forever...she got laid off, guess why...the company is now sending the work to mexico...she's older so she will retire in a few years, but who's going to hire someone that age? Nobody! If the illegals(not just mexicans) leave, maybe the companies know they can't take advantage of citizens so they would pay better wages. They know illegal immigrants are desperate for money so they exploit them for their greedy purposes. \nI don't know that they should join the military, because that's voluntary, but they should come her legally.\nIt has nothing to do with racial discrimination at all...I've got plenty of hispanic friends..I love the language and Antonio Banderas is my hero woo...oh and I'm married to an egyptian arab...

I think that you go after the employer, you arrest them and put them in jail for a significant time and you fine the hell out of them. I have a formula for this. \n\nNO JOBS = NO WORK = NO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.

South Americans. You don't have to fire them and pay unemployment, just call the Migra. Just kidding. Every culture has hard workers and lazy asses.

A good friend of mine had a prosperous lawn mowing business. "Had" being the key word here. He refused to hire anyone that was in this country illegally. The competition started using illegal slave labor "mexicans" and put him right out of business. He had no problem at all finding people willing to work but when other companies are paying way below minimum wage....what could he do???

anti. the only non-immigrants in this country are the native american people. so fuck off white america. just because the mexicans are better workers and your fat lazy red neck ass isn't willing to do that work for the price they will, shut the hell up, they are just trying to support their families back home. immigrants built this fuckin country, not your pale skinned ass.

Yes, employers of the illegal immigrants are the problem, if you take away the employment there would be no reason for them to be here. They the elected officials are suppose to uphold the law not break it and there are laws against employing illegals. I think they should be arrested and treated no better or worse the any other employer that decides that they do not have to adhere to the law.

Illegal immigrants shouldn't be paid anything....they should be deported!!!!

Have you evern seen the fields in California, in Arizona? Those people working under the hundred degree weather are all Mexicans, South Americans, Central Americans, probably undocumented. So far I have not seen an Anglo doing those jobs! How about construction? Those jobs are so dangerous, so hard to do! As for myself, I would not expose my life, my health, doing those tasks, for the cheap pay. Someone has to do it.\n\nWhat are my excuses? My allergies, my "education," my pride, you name it, I got it. I prefer to work in the shade, with "educated" people, with benefits. There's a lot of people like me... I love to buy my vegetables, my fruit, at a decent price. What will we do without immmigrants? The cost of everything will get so high it would not be affordable.\n\nAlso, when I travel, I like to find a clean bed in the hotel where I spend the night. I love to eat in restaurants too. Who do you think cooks that delicious Mexican or Chinese food you and I like? Who will be humble enough to clean the mess we Anglos make?\n\nOne more point: when I grow old, I want for those people who take care of me in the nursing home to be nice to me.

I'm against immigration entirely.\nwe have huge unemployment to care about. why are we bringing people from outside? \nmany claim that immigrants take less money and work jobs that Americans don't.\nbut i think that its the immigrants them selves are the main reason for that. no one should be paid less the minimum wage. and when no immigrants are working on their (so called) immigrants jobs, Americans will have to work there. I think that most of the immigrants are harming the structure of the American community and disrupting its balance.

None of them come for fun.   How fun is it to work in construction in the dead of summer, sweating your ass off for 10 hours a day? Sound fun to you? Or how about seeding someones lawn and cutting grass, and planting flowers out in the damn sun for 50 hours a week?  Wow that sounds like great fun to me!!!   Western Union is on fire, and has been since immigrants starting immigrating here years ago, know why? because that pay check the mexicans got on Monday tues wed thurs or friday is being wired to a bank in Mexico for their wifes, sisters, daughters, sons or grand children to pick it up.  Ever walked into a grocery store and saw Mexicans lined up at the customer service desk, they're sending their paychecks to mexico.  That's what they come here for.  Lets deport all mexicans shall we??  I guess you might as well not go out to dinner anywhere, forget Chili's, or Olive Garden or your favorite barbeque place, because if we deport them all, are you gonna go back there and make your dinner yourself? They make up all our restraunts, and those roads youre driving on to take you to work everyday, are being paved by  hard working mexicans because no fat lazy ass american wants to slave out in the hot sun for hours on end.    Granted, there's your stereotype mexican, who stares at women, and says things in spanish that you don't understand, but not every mexican is like that.  They honestly come here to make a living and LEAVE.  They dont' want to stay here.  This is foreign to them.   it takes time to save up money, and most of them work 40+hours a week.   Know why restraunts keep hiring mexicans even tho they are threatened every week by the immigration office, because they come to work, and on time, and work their butts off... Did you know that only 20% of americans come to work on time everyday of the week?  Yeah, 20% out of how many millions? I'm not a mexican advocate, I'm just saying, I've been witnessed to what is going on in america and how mexicans are treated, and americans are so SCARED they're gonna come and take their jobs.  Give me a break, have you seen an illegal alien becoming a lawyer, or a doctor... please...  they take the jobs we DONT WANT..so whats the big deal?  Let them come and make some money for their families.  More americans are on welfare than anywhere else, because they don't want to work.  So you hate Mexicans for wanting to make a better life?   \n\nDo you know what it costs to become a LEGAL resident of the United States? Thousands of dollars. I'm not talking about getting a green card and working a job part time and then coming back to Mexico, I'm saying... actually applying at the immigration department, and waiting..not to mention it takes up to 10 years to even get an answer. You all need to read up on your facts. Would you want to wait 10 years to get citizenship, would your kids wait 10 years to eat, because you couldn't get decent money in the country you're living in? They come here for the money. Not to take over our jobs, homes, and land. Get a clue.\n\nFrankly, I could care less. If we become a minority, so be it. Mexicans work harder, and longer than any white folk. I'm white, and I'll tell you what, I wouldn't do half the jobs that mexicans do, for 3 bucks an hour. If you want something done, and DONE right, and not half-assed, then hire a mexican. They are always on time, they always put in more than required, and they always do a great job. Of course there's very few of them, that don't do a good job.. which is like a good portion of americans ( unemployment line is proof enough ). The way I look at it is.. If we can send troops over to IRAQ to make their government more civilized and feed other countries, etc... and all the lovely things we do for 3rd world countries, then by god we should go over to Mexico, and assist them with getting the mexican residents in mexico higher paying jobs. Their jobs over t

this is wrong and should be stoped . now why are all the illegals in this country???if they were not hired to work here they would be someother place. think about it and think who is responsible for the influx of illegals. its not the mexicans. talk to your big rich companies and the ones who hire illegals.

Less fortunate? Look they come here and give so called "cheap labor", which by the way is $10-12 tax free (I don't call that cheap), then they send all that money back to Mexico where the exchange rate benifits them so they live like Kings over their shambled surroundings. What pisses me off the most is not that they came here and jumped to the front of the line of all those waiting poor and hungry to get in legally, and not that they don't pay a dime in taxes, and not that they feed off the well-fare system, and not that some of them refuse to learn English, and not that they bring their crime rate with them, but what pisses me off terribly is that they come here and demand things from OUR government like we owe them ANYTHING, and they use our humanity against us, saying we stole land from them? I'm not racist, and I'm not Anti-immigration. I'm anti-illegal immigration, and they shot themselves in the foot with the way they acted recently.\n\nContrary to belief of those who don't work construction or landscaping, Americans CAN BE hard workers. In fact I lost a tooth because two "cheap" laborers wouldn't do the work and I was working right along side of them, told them if they don't keep up with me they don't get paid. So they fought me and even though I lost a tooth, I sent one of those little F***ers running like a little girl. We do work hard and America would not be where it is today were it not for hard working citizens. If Americans are so lazy, then why is it that America is an economical giant and Mexico is still a primitive almost 3rd world country with lazy idiots that kick back and drink all day(ok that was a stereotype, sorry I probably just ruined my credibility)?\n\nAnyway don't say Amercians are spoiled. You might be spoiled, but most of us are not.\n\nHere is a better analogy: If your company was struggling to pay your paycheck, do you think you could run to another company and get them to give you full benefits and a nice paycheck without filling out an application? Hell no you wouldn't. And as for the less fortunate, if you really want to help them, go down to your local soup kitchen and cook dinner for the guys. They'll really appreciate it. Take care of people at home first, and when no American is sleeping in the cold, then we can start looking at helping foreigners.\n\nHere's something else-- Do you want another crowd of people to die senselessly a bloody and painful death? If not I would suggest  you support border control, because at anytime, one of those terrorists could come in unbeknownst to the nation by hopping the border.\n\n\n\n\nI think we've beat this issue death. None of us are listening to the opposite arguement, and it's not going anywhere. I don't know where you got the idea that there are just as many Americans working tax free. Have you ever driven by a parking lot with a bunch of Americans sitting there waiting to get work? I don't thinks so. You can't possibly live anywhere near one of the large cities where immigration is a problem. If you did you wouldn't be saying things like that, because they're just not true. I live right here in the heart of it. I live in a neighborhood, and I think that me, my next door neighbor, and one Mexican family down the street are the only legal households in the entire neighborhood. When we have problems out here, they will beg not to call the police, because they don't have papers. That means they don't work on a social security number or they wouldn't be worried about it. You don't need a social security number. The majority of them just get picked up, paid cash and dropped off. And most of them will tell you life is good back home in Mexico. I gotta give it to them for live in such tight quarters for a year at a time-\n\nAmerica has come way too far to say we're lazy, dishonest, and government dependant. That's not true at all.

It is time to deal legally with employer's who use them for cheap labor,shut the door until we can take care of the legal citizen first kick out the ones here illegally lots of work to be done once again your government has failed to perform its function by enforcing the laws on the books!
