Posted On:Mar 12, 2008

Nonsense: The Tn. Senate Commerce Committee voted unanimously recently to make it a crime for illegal immigrants to accept pay done for work in Tennessee.
Come again?

SEEMS TO ME THE LEGISLATURE IS PUNISHING THE WRONG PARTY. DON’T PUNISH THE ALIENS, THAT PUTS THE REAL HARDSHIP OF ARREST, ETC ON THIER FAMILIES AND JUST ADDS TO OUR JAIL OVERLOADING PROBLEM. NO, THE PENALTIES SHOULD BE ON THE EMPLOYERS, SUCH AS LOSS OF BUSINESS LICENSE AND/ OR LARGE FINES-SAY $50.00/ HOUR WORKED OR A LARGE DAILY FINE- FOR EMPLOYING THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE. FOR REPEATED OFFENSES THE BUSINESSES SHOULD BE SEVERELY PUNISHED.
THAT WILL END THE PROBLEM. THE BUSINESSES WILL NOT HIRE ILLEGALS AND THE ILLEGALS WILL SELF DEPORT. IT HAS WORKED EVERYWHERE IT HAS BEEN TRIED. PERIOD.
BINGO-BANGO-BONGO, IT’S THAT SIMPLE.
