I give them the two word solution:

Hire legally

The reactions are insane.

1. That's how Eisenhower dealt with it - hold the employers accountable

Yes, it's a problem but one I'm glad is splitting the g.o.p.
While I am sympathetic with the poor who attempt to come here to better themselves, it's simply outrageous that the bush admin, what with all the hystreonics about "terrorism," have absolutely failed at securing our borders. They either don't really believe their own fear mongering or they are completely inept (or some mixture of the two).

3. and...
...clean your own damn house and yards.

Hiring illegally and at slave wages to boot, is un-American and un-Patriotic in my view.

you don't have conservative values My Friend. Good For You. I chuckle at the notion that by gawd merkuns would do those jobs if it weren't for them damn furners, by gawd. Last harvest season, Texas cracked down on hiring immigrants and the onions rotted in the fields. Just where were those hard working patriots?

4. It's hard work.
Jeez, won't anyone give the poor and trodden down megacorps a break? Don't you realize how tough it is to keep your labor costs at virtually nothing all the while avoiding that nasty little "slavery" tag?

6. Oh Stop Ruining Their Hate...
If we fined corporations that were caught using illegal labor at a rate of $1,000 per illegal per day, you'd see some action and fast. But it'd be a tough call since so many corporations are now weaned on cheap labor. It's the reason boooshie boy has favored a "guest worker" program that would allow corporations to hire without having to offer minimum wage or benefits. The racism in the GOOP is so deep it can't see through the economics.

I really hope one day all the Hispanics in this country do a one day strike...close down the fast food places, lawns won't get mowed, garbage collected, fruit picket and so on. That'd give 'em a real taste of what closed borders is all about.
