Republicans Urge Immigrants to Stay in Florida, Fearing New Law's Impact

10. There is much I don't know about it

I'm not an Employer, nor am I an Immigrant.

Thank you for the info you posted. From what you posted, it does sound like it would be a huge pain in the ass, however, at the end, you mentioned that it would force our government (and us who vote for them) to resolve the issue that has gone unresolved (what, for 4 decades? More?).

I think the reason it has not been resolved is that the powers that be (big money) want the cheap labor. Immigration is simply an issue used by the GOP to get their base frothy (and vote in folks who will also remove regulations and create tax loopholes). Always about the $$, isn't it?

I think that everyone pretty much knows that Immigrants are generally very good workers (can you imagine if they were paid a living wage too?). What the right-wing focuses on are criminals. (Criminals exist in every race, so that is ridiculous).

Another line of attack: Immigrants working in the construction business - isn't it interesting how the right wing frame it: 'Immigrants are Stealing your Jobs', while the truth of what is going on is that the companies hiring them want the cheaper labor. They don't offer a living wage or insurance. Citizens can't compete because we (generally) expect higher standards of living. (How is it right that immigrants should have lower standards of living?)

The system is definitely broken. And the immigrants are being used as pawns. It is sickening.
