Here is a reality none of these losers want to bring into the discussion. A great many people making low wages on the books are also making a majority of their money in cash and not reporting it. I have a friend who is a barber who claims $14,000 per year in income. What he averages, however, is $1,500 per week.
So if this is something you feel so strongly about, why are you friends with a criminal? Why do you hate people you don't know just because they're poor, but befriend someone who is deliberately defrauding the system? You don't make any sense at all.
Think about what you're sayiing Panda. Lockedaway is 'sure' he has hired illegal immigrants. He has doubt that guys that he picks up at train stations were Americans citizens. He defends his stance by saying that it's the governement that created the opportunity and he just takes advantage of it. What's worse is that he claims to be an officer of the court who took oath to defend and uphold the law but business is business so fuck the law. He fails to see he is part of the problem. With that POV, it makes perfect sense for him to be friends with someone else who is breaking the law for the almighty buck.
He also thinks that $10 is a fair wage to pay for the labor and you know what.. it is. When I hire guys from Labor Ready, they get paid $10 an hour for the job. I, however, don't pay $10 an hour, I pay $15 an hour because of the taxes, workers comp etc. which Labor Ready requires to do it all on the up and up. I'm too fucking lazy to get into the down and dirty nitty gritty to make sure the people I hire are allowed to work for me.. so I pay someone else to do it and that creates jobs. When Locked hires one guy to dig his ditch, he creates one job but doesn't pay taxes for it. When I hire a guy to dig a ditch, I create two jobs. One for the ditch digger and one for the staff at Labor Ready.. and I pay the taxes. When the guys I hire from Labor Ready file, they pay their taxes too.. and so it goes around and around. That's the way it's supposed to work. Lockedaway doesn't want the system fixed because then he can't take advantage of it. For people of his ilk, it's better for it to remain broken because he gets to put $5 in his pocket.. which will come in handy to help pay for that cab ride to the airport.
Let's talk about this, Bita. It isn't me that doesn't want the system fixed. You have a scumbag president that won't allow Arizona to protect its own borders. You have the law challenged in Arizona and Georgia for them to protect their borders. The fish rots from the head down, dear.
Do I want the situation fixed? Of course, I have been saying for years that illegal status should be a function of the local police and, as you can see, that is now exactly what Alabama is trying to do. So many stupid people say that you can't round up all of the illegals in the country. Sure you can. As a function of local police power, illegals get caught driving without licenses, selling drugs, shoplifting, committing domestic violence offenses and every other offense under the sun JUST LIKE ANYONE ELSE. The police come into contact with thousands upon thousands of illegals every day.
And yet...here they are, working under the table. Working in restaurants, running flooring companies, working as gardeners and landscapers and on and on and on and on. And how do they get paid? How does the employer report their income? Have you reported the income to the high school kid that you paid $50.00 to for him to mow your yard?
If hiring an illegal in the same fashion that a homeowner was hiring a high school kid is such a problem, why is the border so porous? Why do we have a president that has taken a view of illegal immigration that is adversarial and even hazardous the states most impacted by it?
AND WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU SUPPORT THAT PRESIDENT IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT!
