There's no US Citizen out there that is willing to work on the field,you can pay them 20 dollars an hour cash and they still wouldn't go. That is not an american life working on the field, tell you that. If a US citizen 's hired to work on the field that farmer wouldn't get that much of a help ,attitude and slow motion maybe, the farmers out there know what they are doing and who to hire.

Britanus, once again you are wrong. Immigrants do not take jobs away from US Citizens. They simply will not work for the minimum wage. After all, it's beneath them. *"...Up to $600 per worker is being shelled out by farm managers to get seasonal workers in the country legally as immigration laws make it more difficult to hire illegal foreign workers. L o c a l w o r k e r s a r e n o t b i t i n g a t t h e $ 9 . 4 2 a n h o u r job offer to harvest produce in farms across the U.S. *http://www.allheadlinenews.com/articles/7011500003

End any chance of complaints against police departments, (ICE) Immigration Enforcement, Marshall's, by pursuing the pariah employer. Funding is limited under current immigration laws, because Democrats have gutted most appropriations. Instead of going after illegal immigrants, that can lead to mistakes. We must enact the Federal SAVE ACT (H.R.4088) and go after the real culprits. "Some employers improperly hire workers as independent contractors to avoid paying benefits like Medicare, Social Security, insurance and workers' compensation. Employers who contribute to the local economy should not have to compete with those employers who choose to break the law by knowingly misclassifying their employees, " quoted Iowa Gov. Chet Culver Thiese are the predatory businesses that ignore Immigration laws. Once caught employers should have the heaviest penalties thrown against them. Unless they have used the government E-verify data base and those hired have been shown to be legal. Then penalties should be harsh and severe. They are stealing jobs from citizens and legal residents, which should be classed as a 'A' felony. If convicted should be heavily fined, business assets confiscated to add funds to ICE. I'm sure McDonald's lucrative employment of illegal immigrants, will bring out anti-sovereignty groups like the ACLU, Southern Poverty league and special interest lobby. If caught with more than five illegal immigrants in their employ, should be locked away for at least 5 years. No half-measures like using factory managers as a scapegoat. No matter their highest echelon, no Chairman, CEO, Director should be able to shun our laws. Millions of regular people are joining for free www.numbersusa.com, to stop this travesty of our immigration laws.

Deport em, consider this: when you deport the parents of a child who is a US citizen, one of two things happen. One, the kid grows up in the US, orphaned and a product of the State and foster care systems; or two, he leaves the US with his parents, but returns legally at age 18, speaking little-to-no English and without the benefits of a US education, potentially a drain on society. Do you really think that flat out deportation -- a costly measure-- is really better than making people pay fines, learn English, and earn citizenship?

ICE should next come and raid the McDonald's in Chicago and Illinois. There are a ton of Mexicans working there. And then people wonder why high school kids cannot find jobs - its because all the illegals took them.
