Via FoxNation, behold the most tone-deaf public-service announcement — yet — from the Obama administration. The US government occasionally conducts raids on employers who hire illegal immigrants as workers, even during Barack Obama’s term of office. Now suddenly Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis has established a hotline number, not for people to tip the government to employers breaking the law, but to act as an agent for illegals to make sure they get paid “fairly”:
Does it occur to the White House at all that “undocumented” workers are breaking the law themselves? They shouldn’t be exploited, but then again, they shouldn’t be here to be exploited, either. At the same time that the Obama administration contemplates a lawsuit against Arizona to stop them from enforcing immigration law, they’re working on a program that supports the people breaking that law, all while unemployment continues at a high rate long after their stimulus plans have run aground. Instead of enforcing the law – which is, after all, the raison d’être of the executive branch — they’re conspiring to help people break it, and with our tax dollars, no less.

This is what you get when the majority of the electorate are government sponsored public school graduates who let the news media do their thinking for them.
ReplyDeleteApathy to this situation is what you get when the majority electorate is addicted to TV, etc., or too overworked to care.
And do not forget that one argument frequently made to support lackluster enforcement of immigration law is that many illegal workers are "doing jobs nobody else would do." When wages become equivalent for legal versus illegal workers, that lame excuse is gone completely and the counterclaim that illegal immigrants are taking jobs from legal residents is lifted to undeniable truth.
