Thread: Immigration rules could hinder L.A. County garment industry

So I'll have to pay $1 more for a t-shirt. Boo hoo.

ANY BUSINESS THAT CANT STAY AFLOAT WITHOUT USING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS......YOU NEED TO GO OUT OF BUSINESS. THE SLACK CAN BE PICKED UP BY THOSE BUSINESS OWNERS THAT ARE CAPABLE OF RUNNING A BUSINESS WITHOUT BREAKING THE LAW.

SOME OF THESE BUSINESSES HAVE ACTUALLY BUILT THEIR BUSINESS ON LAWLESSNESS. THEY ARE INCAPABLE OF RUNNING A BUSINESS WITHOUT BREAKING LAWS.

Yes, and this is hogwash.

American business, for years, has had a lot of paperwork to do to comply with all the labor rules. It isn't just having to check out their illegals and possibly loose them that is worrying them.

It isn't just having to pay more that is worrying them.

It is have to withhold and match taxes, make honest quarterly reports, be subject safety rules, overtime, etc.

Yes, any business that can't operate without breaking the law should not be in business. Why is that so hard to believe.

If that is swallowed, I want to be able to make 'unauthorized withdrawals' from a bank to keep my business going. There is no difference.

There is a company in LA named AMERCIAN APPAREL which employs hundreds of illegals to sew their clothes! Americans are subsidizing his cheap labor while he makes out with his "Made in USA" label!! I think a Canadian immigrant owns it. He needs to move to Mexico with all his workers.
