When is the last time you saw a public union speak out against illegal immigration or amnesty, seesaw? Answer: NEVER.

All the public unions endorse amnesty and love illegals. You know that. The illegals are their next generation of employees.

The public unions have organized unions for the illegals who get paid to stay home and take care of their sick relatives. If there’s a way to scam the system out of another buck the public unions will find it.

I just respond in kind in the same manner others communicate to me, seesaw. If people are nice to me, I’m nice back. If people insult me, I insult back. Not that hard to figure out.

“You are right about the law not being enforced, but that does not excuse the American citizenry for refusing to obey that law….”

Baloney, seesaw. In the business world it’s all about survival. If one contractor hires all illegals his labor costs would be about 30-40% of the contractor who obeys the labor laws, pays the going wage, pays his worker’s comp premiums, FICA, and all the other miscellaneous labor fees. Now how is the obedient contractor who follows the labor laws going to compete against the crook who hires all illegals? Answer: HE CAN’T! His business will fold. And he won’t be able to house or feed his kids. So now he must hire illegals too and break the laws just to survive financially because THE GOVERNMENT REFUSES TO FULFILL IT’S JOB AND ENFORCE THE STATE LABOR LAWS!!! It becomes a chain reaction that results in anarchy. And it destroys the fabric of a civilized society.

You don’t seem to think your comments all the way through, seesaw. I hope my input helps you.

You are right about the law not being enforced, but that does not excuse the American citizenry for refusing to obey that law–instead they just opened the flood gates for their gardeners, nannies, and hospitality personnel.

I can tell you one thing about the hiring of illegals–they did not get hired in the public-sector. All of the illegal hiring took place in the private-sector.

“The illegals could not have taken over the hospitality industry without the complicity of the employers.”

The illegals could not have taken over the hospitality industry without THE GOVERNMENT REFUSING TO ENFORCE OUR STATE AND FEDERAL LABOR LAWS.

There, fixed it again for ya, seesaw.

You see, businesses will get away with anything the government allows them to get away with to make bigger profits. It’s the nature of capitalism.

Just like if speeding laws weren’t enforced. Drivers would be speeding 80 mph down residential streets.

Too bad that I have to explain these things to someone who’s been on the planet for over 7 decades. 🙂

Free health care and an increase in the minimum wage? $15.35 an hour working 2000 hours per year brings you up to nearly $31K/year. How many of the hotel workers get some sort of public assistance, either through MediCal, SNAP programs, housing and energy assistance. How much of the extra earnings will from the rise in the minimum wage will be subjected to very high marginal tax rates? Jobs may be lost, hours cut but subsidies could be lost and a big beneficiary may be fewer public outflows into the social safety net.
