Immigration Woes

[SHRED]

As long as we tolerate businesses and corporations, who hire, then nothing will get done on immigration.

This is disgusting to me.
Where is the outrage against those unpatriotic bastards who hire??

Migrants Find a Gold Rush in New Orleans
Word spread to Latino laborers as Katrina's floodwaters ebbed: There is work with good money and no questions about papers.

NEW ORLEANS — As the floodwaters of Hurricane Katrina receded in September, roads filled with residents leaving the city, their cars, SUVs and moving vans jammed with what they had salvaged of their lives.

But another mass movement was taking place on the other sides of the highways.

Thousands of men from Mexico and Central America were driving into the city. Word had spread throughout the Latino immigrant diaspora in America that the city had plenty of work, construction wages had doubled to $16 an hour and no one was asking for papers.

"It was like a Gold Rush," said Oscar Calanche, a Guatemalan immigrant who lived in New Orleans before the storm and returned as soon as the waters receded. "In one car there'd be three up front and three or four in the back, with suitcases and tools on top. It looked like a river of people from our countries."

1. WTF is going on here?

Flagrantly breaking the law, by hiring illegally, while our government sits around with it's thumb up it's ass.
We now have a government... of the corporates, by the corporates, and for the corporates.

2. People didn't used to think of it in those terms, as being the fault of

the corporations who demand the illegal labor that LEADS to the supply....but they're starting to now, slowly but surely. The pugs picked the wrong hornet's nest this time, I think. I'm sure their Big Business vultures are in the "WTF, you guys? You said this would let us use MORE slaves!" state right about now.
