Now start arresting the criminals that knowingly hire illegals. File suit against the companies that fail to do due diligence in hiring.

For every illegal a fine of 10Gs should slow them down for the first offence.

These contractors are multi millionaires. 10Gs means nothing to them.

Just for the mathematically challenged 37 illegals times $10,000 equals $370,000.00.

In that case prosecute the previous owner that did the actual hiring. IMO, the new guy is only on the hook if he chose to do nothing if he was made aware of it. But it sounds like he bought the place and a thorough review of every employee isn't usually done at closing.

BTW, there should be some mechanism the new owner could use to go after the old owner. Some sort of business lemon law.

We better start teaching Americans how to put on a roof! And landscape, and construction, etc...

I agree on the deportation of illegals, however there’s a workforce gap that will be created.

I hope I’m wrong.

All those jobs are easy to learn, pay a living wage and you'll get people to do them.

I think there will be a gap but it will fill quickly. There will be a burden short term because the employee pool has zero experience. I’m fairly certain that like me, your Grandfather and father made sure you knew how to do things and weren’t afraid to let you try them, gaining valuable experience that you have learned by now to apply to other things that come up in life. That is lost in today’s world or is not as common as it once was. Doesn’t equate to folks not being willing to do those things.

Can't wait for them to raid the hog confinements around here. Although there are no media that would report on a raid here.

They are paying a living wage, the Mexicans are living on them. As a matter of fact, a lot of these jobs they are working at pay piece work, if you want to work as hard as some of them do, you can make pretty good money. The problem is that you can make as good of money sucking off the government tit, and not working.

I put on a crap load of roofs as a skinny, white college kid. Made dang good money, too. The labor force is out there, if the money is right. The roofing contractors are, certainly, charging plenty for their illegal work force, based on my homeowner's insurance rates and the "special" roof deductible.
