Be a patriot: Hire an illegal alien

[liberal N proud]

Despite being a country of immigrants, the U.S. remains vexed about how to deal with the fact that people from elsewhere still want to come here.

Two successive presidents have now been stymied in their attempts to pass comprehensive immigration reform. The latest foray is the Dream (Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors) Act, a narrow but important piece of the immigration reform puzzle that would, at a minimum, give the children of illegal immigrants a path to citizenship. The bill failed in the Senate last December, despite the Obama administration's support.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid reintroduced the act in May, but the prospects for passing any meaningful legislation before the 2012 elections are slim.

1. And give more food stamps and payments to the poor who will never get a better wage.

Yeah great solution.

Also he touts the fact that illegal immigrants send money out of this country to not be spent here at home.

Moreover this idiot thinks illegal immigrants do jobs that would be sent overseas. Nonsense. Those are the jobs that can't be sent overseas because the land is here.

What a moronic article.

3. Somehow I don't think this will impress most people

The contractors, builders, and yard care folks will love it, of course. Everyone else at the lower end of the wage scale, not so much.
