These factors, combined with a slowing economy, are forcing many undocumented workers to consider leaving Arizona.
In the spring planting mecanisation can pick up the slack, but come harvest we are really going to miss those guys.
When the "libertarian" types start giving you a load of lip about illegal immigrants "doing the jobs Americans won't do", it's helpful to point out that markets can offer more than one solution to a problem,
and that over the long haul evolving technologies are obviously going to do a lot more for your economy than importing hordes of 3rd-world immigrants will.
PHOENIX ? Facing a worker shortage, and unwilling to wait for a federal fix, some Southern Arizona lawmakers want the state to run its own temporary foreign worker program. The proposal by Sen. Marsha Arzberger, D-Willcox, would let companies that are suffering a "labor shortage" seek permission from the state Industrial Commission to bring in their own workers from Mexico. It even would have the state issue identification cards to the foreigners authorized to work here. "The federal government has not met the responsibility to come up with comprehensive immigration reform," Arzberger said. "Our economy is hurting," she continued, adding many firms have found themselves without the workers they need. SB 1482 has a number of co-sponsors, including many of the legislators who represent the border area. |
Yeah and you can stick it in your crack pipe and smoke it if you think those companies will agree to pay to
educate all the ninos, pay the emergency room/medical bills in the tens/hundreds of millions, pay the Medicaid
outlays, pay for the food assistance programs, pay the court costs and costs of incarcerating illegals who have been
convicted of crimes and and all the other costs these tens of millions of uneducated poor lawbreakers are
passing on to the American taxpayer.
These companies need to hire LEGAL AMERICANS and the way to do
that is pay a wage that will attract an employee/worker. It's called the (legal) free market. Cheating by
hiring illegal aliens that pass enormous costs on to the American taxpayer should not be an option.
fool companies dont pay the corporate tax
you think Exxon doesn't pass every red cent of corporate tax on to the consumer?
yes it most definitely is the free market of a sovereign nation that
has laws in place to prevent it from being over-run by a poor uneducatd
mass illegal immigration.
