Have you ever lost your job to an illegal immigrant?

No of course not.\n\nIf you have even a reasonable education you are in little danger of losing your job to an illegal.  It's just blatant conservative scare tactics at work.\n\nOutsourcing is a totally different issue.  Guess that's what "globalization" means, though ...

My first job was working at a carwash making $5.25 an hour. I was worked like a slave too. Now every time I see someone working a hard job like mine I treat them with the most respect. I always tip well. It's the little people that make the system work. Also thanks to the illegals, a lot of the jobs that we did growing up are now gone.

Yes I do,they should be tried under our existing laws .They need to also be made to pay for the cost of deporting the illegal aliens that they employed..The federal law against the employment of illegals must be enforced with zero tolerance.Make them pay dearly for the cost of their hiring practices of "cheap labor"To help stop the illegal alien you must take away the bait,the lure of a job,then you can stop the illegal from coming to this country.\nThe Social Security Administration offers a free employee verification service for employers wishing to verify the legal status of potential employees. The service verifies the social security numbers (SSN) for up to 5 employees. Call toll-free 1-800-772-6270, weekdays from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. EST.

Generally, no.  However, I had a girlfriend who quit and won unemployment because she proved that her employer overworked her and caused her health problems.  Her proof was that it took 3 people to replace her at her job.  Do you think your employer would need to hire three people to replace you?  Otherwise, you probably don't have a leg to stand on.  Furthermore, my girlfriend didn't win right away -- had to go through appeals and it took almost a year.  Can you live a year without income to fight unemployment?  \n\nI recommend getting a new job, then quit.

heak no i wouldn't i can get a better job with benefits at the same price. but anyways, i don't think this is what the question is about. most people would say that immigrants are taking their jobs away but is it true. i think not they are doing jobs that we don't want. do you know have they are treated in the feilds.... there is a saying.... you don't know a person until you been in there shoes. personally i haven't but i have heard stories from my family that had to go through that to get to where they are.

No.  It's a lot of things, many of them illegal.  But I wouldn't call it stealing.  They didn't take something that belonged to someone else.  No one owns a job.  A job is not a property.\n\nIt is fraud, because they've used false ID, and used it to gain access to services they don't legitimately have access to.  It is also a violation of probably a dozen other laws, but I don't see any theft.

mlewis51 is correct, they do forge papers.  My mothers former employer didn't even know they had an illegal working for them until his family had a fire in their apartment so he was out of work for a few days dealing with the red cross and temporary housing.  During this time Social Security called them up and they found out he was using 3 different people's social security numbers, none of them belong to him & he was an undocumented worker who was here illegally.  The company tried to contact him to see if he was coming back to work and all of a sudden he fail off the face of the earth, couldn't call him, find him, nothing.\n\nThe website that mlewis51 listed is a very good organization to look up in regards to illegal immigration.  You really should check it out!  I get information via email from them all the time, I try to help out when and where I can, etc.  It is very informative!

You MUST report them to the Better Business, Labor Department and get an attorney.  In the event you are an illegal immigrant it would not matter that you have to put up with your employer's failure to pay you.  Get all the documentation you can get.  If you don't have paper documents see if you can get a hold of office e-mails, memos, phone record's etc.. Also try to get your employer to put in writing the reason's why the company is in trouble and why you aren' being paid and by when do they expect to pay you.  Also try to find out if this has happened before to others before and try to get their story.  Keep dates of all conversations with your employer and try to get them to put in writing any agreements and to sign them.

I actually don't blame either one. Both are victims, in a way. Our economic system seems to demand the illegals and the economic system of the illegals seems to demand that they sneak in here and take the jobs. We're all messed up. Sorry, I have to tell the truth according to how I see it.

Very simple, I fired 6 employees who took off to boycott, they were not "illegal" but they were hispanic and in favor of breaking the law. Maybe the Government wont do anything, But each business owner sure can. I already replaced the hispanics who went to boycott with Americans who were interested in working, took abt 30 minutes. I wonder how they will feel tomorrow morning when they find they have no job here.

That's a great idea.  I wonder how many potential employees are being stabbed in the back every day and have no idea it's happening.  I found out the hard way when a great job offer was rescinded, and the woman who had "hired" me told me not to come to work after all.  With a little pressure, she told me the truth, and I have the names of several former co-workers who did me in.

Yes. \nI hesitated about what to do. If I decided to quit, I could not get any money. So, I made their life so difficult and the business so bad that they put me out of the company and I asked for a good exit package. With that I bought a small flat and set up a Foundation. I do my best to have a great working atmosphere. It goes very well.

Your local Home Security office.  Someone here from Texas did, and she said you have to be firm, because they will try to be rude and talk you out of it - but got people deported.
