So having a crime commited by a person with a social security number makes it easier to solve? I missed that episode of CSI. As far as taking jobs goes I woulld gamble that the illegal population is in bulk working the botom barrel shitty jobs. All neccasary but not desired....again a key part of the economy. The reason nobody know how to andle this is becuase it's more complicated then your making it.
I'm saying in order to prosecute and identify people properly, it helps if they actually belong here in the first place. That's not my rule, so don't come at me like I'm some nazi.
I know a lot of good, legal people who work said "shitty" jobs. They do it legaly, and they do it because right now, it's all they have for money. Unfortunatley, we all need money to live here. At least these people pay taxes on their wages like the rest of us. They did not sneak here in the back of a van in the middle of a night, only to get a cook or a dishwasher fired from his post the next day because he offered the same work for less money.
Years back I lost a job - one of the best jobs I ever had - because our whole kitchen was taken over with illeagal mexicans who offered cheaper labor then us. Sad thing is, as much as I liked the job, I did not get paid very well.
Good thing the INS is no more.
For the record, I am not against mexicans - I understand they have hardships and are trying to do better for themselves and for their families. That is what any normal person would do - but there is a legal way to do it, and it is not very hard. We have many hardships as legal citizens to - some of us much more then others, but a lot of us still have them Most of the Mexicans I have met are very cool, very hardworking people. They deserve to come here and make a home for themselves - I just want them to pay taxes like everyone else. By becoming a citizen, they are only helping themselves more in the long-run. Better pay. Healthcare. Pensions and Social Security money, investments, bank accounts, etc... Why anyone would want to be in the USA and choose to stay illegal is beyone me.
All I am getting at is that charity should start at the home. This country is drowning in it's own problems right now, and shit like this is just distracting us from what really needs to take priority.
