Capt Stern, You make some very good points that I am in agreement with. However, you must understand that section 13-2928 and 13-2929 of the immigration bill, it clearly states that it is illegal to hire an illegal alien, and it is illegal for an illegal alien to solicit or perform work under the table. It also states that it is illegal to conceal and/or harbor an illegal alien. In section 23-212 of the bill, it clearly states that "An Employer Shall Not Knowingly Employ An Unauthorized Alien". Yes, one of the main problems contributing to illegal immigration is that greedy companies are openly courting them and using them as wage slaves. This bill actually seeks to solve that problem by making it a crime to hire illegal aliens. You must also understand that not all illegals come here to get work. A large amount of them forge documents to get driver's licenses, welfare, and Arizona's version of state health care, and do not seek or care to seek work. How do I know? I actually live here and see what is going on for real on a daily basis. I don't blame anybody for coming to this country to work and make a better life for themselves. I am TOTALLY in favor of such a thing, I just want it done LEGALLY. I would have to do it legally if I wanted to go to another country to work, and so would you, so why should it be any different when considering America? I don't blame immigrants for wanting to come here to work, I blame immigrants and greedy companies alike for not going through the proper channels and respecting national borders. The bill at least tries to solve the problem by making it illegal to hire an unauthorized alien and for an unauthorized alien to seek work.
