[AAACE-NLA] Immigrants and the Law

[David Rosen]

Kearney,

Since you are concerned about illegal activity, it is odd to me that  
in your postings you focus only on immigrants, not on U.S. employers  
who illegally recruit, hire, and pay employees who are not legal  
residents.  In Massachusetts, for example,  we have had examples of  
INS raids in which immigrants without documentation are rounded up,  
and quickly shipped across the country the same day, leaving their  
infant children without care, and where the companies that recruited,  
hired, and paid (sub-minimum) wages to these people were not  
seriously sanctioned.  Don't you care about that? If not, why not?

If the Bush administration were to prevail, and the guest worker  
program were made the law, then illegal immigrants could suddenly be  
legal, working residents.  Do you support that proposal? Why or why not?
