Thread: Arizona reversal on laws against illegals?

On CNN right after Dobbs this evening O'Brien was reporting that Arizona was now going to have to reverse its hard stance on illegal immigration and start recruiting illegals because all these businesses they claim had no labor. Did anyone else see this? I was like WHAT???? Basically, they were saying that Arizona was going to have to develop a sort of Guest Worker program to get illegals there. They had one business owner that they interviewed who had lost millions because he had to fire all 12 of his illegals and he hasn't been able to replace them, supposedly. Anyway, I don't live in AZ, but I think we had better watch what is going on in AZ very closely. They interviewed 2 state legislatures there, and they were talking about it.

Of course this employer is lying! Give me a break! We better stay on top of this and WE BETTER GET VOCAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

Businesses addicted to cheap labor are whining. We need to let them go through the withdrawal pains and get in line with other law abiding businesses!

They had one business owner that they interviewed who had lost millions because he had to fire all 12 of his illegals and he hasn't been able to replace them, supposedly.

Perhaps offering a living wage would help.

They had one business owner that they interviewed who had lost millions because he had to fire all 12 of his illegals and he hasn't been able to replace them, supposedly.

How greedy can someone be, he's losing millions and he won't hire Americans because?

I don't think that will happen. My father in law, who is a naturalized citizen of Hispanic decent, has recently been given less work hours. He lives in Southern California and tells me that everyone is working less, due to the fact that the economy is in the craper. He also said that most of his friends who are legal or citizens, are going to search for jobs in Arizona.

Word has gotten around that there are jobs open for those who do have "documents".

Too much pressure from big business. These jerks claim they lost money, they only had that extra money because they broke the law. Now business is upset because they will have to pay a fair wage. This shows who our politicians really care about.

All this is crap, if the guy lost millions because he had to let his 12 illegal workers go, that right there tells you he could pay Americans a very good wage. I'd say if he refused to hire Americans because he might only make a half million dollar profit instead of a million dollars, thats a bad business decision on his part and basically rooted in greed.

When the business could clearly hire Americans and make a decent profit but just refuses to because he is greedy and spoiled, he ought to be boycotted and put out of business. When his bills go unpaid and he's about to lose everything, I'm sure he'll be darn glad to hire Americans and take that lessor profit.

What gets me about these businesses is they believe they have a right to make money no matter what the cost to other Americans. Which puts them in the same catagory as drug dealers, pimps and slave traders.
The Constitution clearly states a person cannot step on my liberties just because they want to make a dollar. When a company breaks the laws of the land, they have clearly stepped on the Tax Payers liberties and rights as well as broken the law. The laws are created to make a fair and equal society for all tax payers, not just for the ones with a dollar and certianly not for the ILLEGAL CRIMINALS!

Business owners addicted to cheap labor are worse than drug addicts being forced to get clean.
