Democrats DO NOT want to give Amnesty
I do not know where Senators Kennedy, Lieberman, and Reid, and many others ever got the idea that their constituents, the Democratic Voters, ever wanted to grant amnesty and free citizenship to Illegal Immigrants. It just isn’t so, as the majority of the voting Democrats are in the whole scheme of things, are members of the middle and lower income workers in this country. And the people that are suffering most from the influx of Illegal Immigrants taking away many of their jobs, are those very people.
As many of the jobs these Illegal Immigrants are taking are the very same jobs that many of these people were doing legally till the Federal, State, and Local Governments stopped enforcing the existing laws which prevented Companies and Contractors from hiring Illegal Workers without paying their employees legally authorized Benefit Programs, failing to collect and pay legitimate taxes for these illegal workers, and failing to carry the necessary Insurance that is required to hire legal workers.
By the way since the many Fast Food businesses, Hotel/Motel Chains, Discount Department Stores Fruit and Vegetable producers are now hiring these lower paid Illegal Immigrants, you have not witnessed the prices of these products drop dramatically, have you? And I ask you, why not? Or is it that these companies and contractors are pocketing the extra money they are making. And since they are already breaking the law by hiring the Illegal Immigrants, it would not be too far fetched to believe they are cheating on their taxes as well? However you will hear these business owners complain how the prices will rise dramatically if their supply of cheap labor is shut off.
It seems to me, that many of these Senators are looking at the possibility that they will get the votes of the Illegal Immigrants when they become citizens. However the way the situation is set up, these Illegal Immigrants will not gain their citizenship for at least eleven years, if in fact they are still eligible, and a good number of the politicians will probably not be in any elected position by that time and will not gain any benefit from their actions of today.
I believe that the people who are hiring these illegals, the law officers who are not enforcing the laws designed to prevent it, and the politicians who want to pass further laws to allow this situation to continue, should all be held accountable for their actions. Fire them, jail them and throw them out of office, and shut down any company that will not obey the existing laws. There will be new companies that will take their place and new Law Officials and new Politicians that will step forward and show proper respect for following and enforcing the laws that have made The United States of America the great country it is, and keep it as great in the future..
