Raid and deport or fire?

Tweet

Even though many Americans were happy to see the government raid companies that were hiring illegal immigrants and then deporting those immigrants while fining the companies that hired them; there were complaints that this process was "heartless and cruel". Obama has changed how the goverment will be fighting employers who hire illegal immmigrants. Now, he will threaten these companies with fines unless they "fire" these illegal immigrants. One company has just fired 1,800 illegal immigrants. That company is American Apparel. They were inspected back in July and stated in early September that they were going to have to fire these people. Latest reports say that they have now done this. So, now, instead of 1,800 illegal immigrants being sent OUT of the US to their home countries; they are now still in the US and looking for new jobs with some other company that is willing to take the risk. Here is a link to the most recent story on this - http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/30/us/30factory.html?hp I think it is obvious that the current administration wants to just let them stay here; using our resources and taking our jobs, even though we already have hundreds of thousands of people who are unemployed. Before, you make comments about American not wanting these jobs, this is what this company was paying ONE of it's employees "The company provides health and life insurance, he said, and he currently earns about $900 a week, with taxes deducted from his paycheck." and when the reporter was there "Masseurs were offering 20-minute massages for sewers in need of a break." Sewing may not be glamorous; but, I know a lot of Americans who would jump at a chance for a job like this right now!
