I'm with Robert on this one. The law regarding the legal immigration of *workers* hasn't been touched in over 20 years and the law should serve the people which, in this case, it's clearly not. Let's take the 3 cases: (1.) Those that illegally immigrate to work. Sure, they work for roofing companies, for example. There's no way an employer is going to hire an illegal when there are plenty of legal workers available for the job and this bill makes that all the more painful: $5000 per worker. If I"ve got a company that competes with another who's using illegals to keep price down, I'm gonna turn the guy in. We need hard workers and our borders should be open to anyone willing to work at a job that doesn't have a worker. (2.) Those that illegally immigrate to commit crimes. They're going to anyway, and this bill does nothing to help them. (3.) Those that already illegally immigrated and are working. Clearly we need them. This law will have them admit that broke the law and pay a penalty for it while still allowing them to "become legit", something that benefits everyone. The law, in general, should incent people to work for a living and this one does that. It will free up our border guards to focus more on criminals while giving America hard working citizens and that's a good thing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=RVJQ Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:235034 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
