Case shows new plan for illegal immigrants

Good strategy | 6:00 a.m. July 3, 2009

It's about time immigration went after the employers, they are the primary cause of illegals in america. Going after employers with heavy fines and even closing down the business will do more for the economy than raids that the news media condemns.

Closing down any of these business will not hurt the economy or states. In fact it would help the economy and the states by increasing the amount of taxes gained by lawful and legal workers who pay taxes.

And also the department of ICE should bring down its force on the news media and cities harboring illegal aliens and aiding and abetting the illegals in their towns.

I wonder if ICE and the Obama Administration's soft glove approach will be helpful? I wonder if they even said "Please" obey the law. I don't suppose American Apparel would consider using E-Verify. They prefer to use Social Security cards that are run off on card stock on a copy machine, and fake ID made the same way and hand laminated. Then there are those no match letters that they have been getting. It appears that the fine is nothing more than a slap on the wrist. Those illegals that lose their jobs will simply go get a new ID and come back to work at the same job, and everybody is happy. EXCEPT ME!!
