I have always been a Republican. Even though the attached article
seems to have been written by a Democrat, what is written makes a lot of sense to me. It does seem that any govt enforcement against illegal employers seems to be focused on small or medium businesses--not on US big business. I would like to see enforcement against big businesses (perhaps at least one in each major industry) accompanied by US citizen boycotts of targeted big business.

I think big home builder companies should be targeted, since I've read that many of the illegals go to construction jobs rather than the "traditional" agricultural jobs--since construction jobs pay better. This way, the illegal aliens might begin to either self deport or work in the fields, and the US citizens, can get or keep their jobs, at a fair wage.

It upset me, today, to see Martha Stewart market her custom homes--once I saw that she is associated with KB homes--where I've read on the Internet, hires subcontractors who use illegals. (I bought a house 10 years ago, that I later found out used illegals. I had to put on a new roof, and put "green wall" or whatever it is called behind the tiles in the shower--the DUMB workers just put the shower tiles over dry wall.) It makes me wonder how many more shoddy, new houses are not going to sell, in this, supposed, upcoming housing recession I read about.
