Fewer immigrant workers are coming to Colorado because of tougher state laws, but the agricultural, ski and hotel industries are having a tougher time finding seasonal workers, Gov. Bill Ritter said today.

Without citing statistics, Ritter said employers around the state complain they face worker shortages because of laws passed in 2006 to fight illegal immigration. He said efforts to fortify guest worker programs would offer a solution.

“I quite frankly think that one of the people who understood this issue best in public life was (President) George Bush,â€

Try Hiring OUT OF WORK AMERICANS, TEEN AGER's's and Collage age Students .. I can't stand Corrupt Politicians looking for more of the same

It's time to boot them out of office America ... RECALL THIS SLUG

I-9 Immigration Forms E-Verify at the State Unemployment Offices will get rid of more undocumented immigrants..... Profit Corporate America pay Americans more....

Not buying it bub! Their crying because they can no longer get away with paying slave wages. Can't tell me these ski resorts didn't exist before illegal alien slaves worked there.

Yeah just wait until Americans figure out they need those jobs. Come June thousands of college grads are going to be out looking for work that isn't going to be there. He'll get people to work.

Why doesn't this horse's ass masquerading as an American pull his Mexican government owned head from his Mexican government owned ass and look at the long unemployment lines in Denver, Boulder, Pueblo and other Mexirado cities? Hey Ritter, remember the illegal alien employed at one of Denver Mayor Hickenlooper's restaurants who killed a cop? Just another uncaring hate America and Americans leftwing hockey puck.........

Has no one thought that there are plenty of college kids who would be happy to work for a while at a ski resort, no matter the job? Does no one ever think that millions of Americans have been laid off that are desperate to put food on the table? (And these folks speak ENGLISH!)
Recommend you get out of your mansion occasionally and see what is really going on in this country.

I don't believe his crap for one minute....Maybe if the hired citizens next year that have a job for the whole season instead of 1 month they will stay, you can not tell me college kids would not take these for summer jobs....who is paying you Governor???????

Yea!! Encouraging!! This proves tougher immigration laws do work.

And if the price is a few of those Colorado businesses earning less profit or even failing, so be it. This is about saving our country.

Gov Ritter: Immigrate to Mexico and help them improve their own country. You pandering louse.
