Hooray! Great job ICE!!
That woman in the photo holding up the sign "We are not robbers" is a blatant liar. Not only are they thieves when they steal someone else's identity, they are criminal trespassers and that is the least of it.
The identity theft alone causes uncounted woes for the victims, especially if the victim is on disability, or retired on Social Security and lose their sole income for months because of these foreign crooks.
Most hard-working Americans freak when they get a bill from the IRS for unreported income they made in some place they never even heard of, and it is not a piece of cake to fix either.
Won't even mention the theft of social services, etc.
I am not at all speaking of our legal immigrants. I welcome them to their new home and say congratulations fellow citizens!

There is an obvious effort on the part of business to keep the free flow of exploitable cheap labor flowing, the real criminals are the people who are exploiting these people. Ending this thinly disguised anti labor, anti union, anti working people activity is very simple. No new laws or fences are needed. simply fine the hell out of those who hire illegals. Throw them in Jail if there is a second offense.
Use the money generated by the fines to sure up social security.

It is anti-American Radiofree, it's not anti-union. When they had all those illegal criminal rallies a few years ago, it was labor unions who were providing buses, free transportation, to get them to and from certain cities.
I do agree, any enabler, business, relative, friend, Coyote, union or landlord who is part of this travesty should be prosecuted and jailed and/or fined.

Cactus, if you have a link that proves this I'd appreciate sharing it. Local unions should not be advocating hiring foreign labor that displaces their own workers, and makes them compete for substandard wages, it is self defeating. The quest for slavery is what sent most jobs to China and what is left to "black market" laborers. How this benefits any union is beyond comprehension. It is indeed anti American though.

"There are civil and criminal penalties for hiring illegal aliens. Sec. 274A of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) and 8 U.S.C. 1324a, makes it unlawful for any person knowingly to hire, recruit or refer for a fee any alien not authorized to work. An employer that violates these laws can face penalties of:
· $250 to $2,000 fine for each unauthorized individual;
· $2,000 to $5,000 for each employee if the employer has previously been in violation; or
· $3,000 to $10,000 for each individual if the employer was subject to more than one cease and desist order.

The employer could also be fined $100 to $1,000 for each individual "paperwork" violation.
The criminal penalties for a pattern and practice violation can be up to $3,000 for each unauthorized alien, imprisonment up to six months, or both.
There are legal means to hire foreign workers on a temporary or permanent basis and our office can help you explore your options."
There just seems to be a lack of will to enforce laws already on the books.

The laws are in place, always have been, the fines are not enough to offset the money saved by paying below minimum wage and off the books (no taxes, no social security etc.) Make it 20,000 to 100,000 dollars per incidence. Oh they might go bankrupt? Fine. We don't need a single business willing to commit treason for the sake of a dollar an hour. Get out of the way and let a business paying fair wages stop having to compete with slave labor employers. And as Uncle Dave points out there is no enforcement.
