The Secretary of Labor, I think her name is Solitz has hired 250 workers to fan out across the U.S. to check with Employers to make sure the Mexicans are getting a fair Wage even if they are illegal, and they put a Telephone Number up on the screen for them to call if they thought they wasn't being paid enough, American if you are out of a job that is tough, we jusst want to be sure the illegals are being paid what everybody else is.

pretty important piece of information there, for those of you who aren't aware of the complete context.


you couldn't be more wrong...what we have is a bunch of politicians refusing to uphold our laws and constitution.

Correct me if I'm wrong. Every employer has to fill out an I-9 form to verify employee status and identity. These forms are not submitted to anyone, but they are required. If the government would require those forms to be submitted to the dept of labor every time a person is hired -- they would have a record of every legal and illegal employee. Which if the person is illegal, then they would be able to go after the employer for hiring the illegals. I know they'll never do that, but they already have the form in place to protect legal workers and employers. If you hire illegals -- you should get in trouble for it -- but that shouldn't mean illegals should make as much or more than legals.
From the article...
'"But the Labor Department says protecting undocumented workers from exploitation benefits all U.S. workers by ensuring there's a level playing field when they seek employment".

"Consider the lost advantage to U.S. workers when unscrupulous employers purposely pass them over to hire workers who are afraid to file a complaint about not being paid the minimum wage or often not being paid at all," the department said in a statement to FoxNews.com.'


I thought you all were complaining that illegals were taking jobs away from Americans because they would work for less than living wage. This is supposed to stop that. Re-read the above statements.

There are already laws in place to protect the American worker...how about enforcing them?

It is illegal for an employer to hire a illegal. How about enforcing the labor dept. laws?

deporting the illegals would stop it too. An illegal making ten dollars per hour is netting income far greater than a legal resident making ten dollars per hour.
Look, this snowball started rolling at least 10 years ago and it's not going to stop now. All the complaining in the world won't stop it. They are here. They aren't leaving. As a matter of fact, they're slaughtering our border patrol agents when they try to nab them at the border and drug cartels have threatened an entire city's police force. They've already won.

hey Man they know how to play the Race Card, now you supposed to take the knee jerk from being called a Racist Redneck,do you really care what a Roach bug calls you?

have you noticed that every day there will be something done by the Govt. to piss you off a little more their one thing is to slip socialism in on us a little at the time.

I am retired and this morning somebody sent me an E-mail saying that washington was going to vote soon to cut out free speech and that the NRA had made some kind of deal on the guns, I do think that they will try taking the Guns before this first term is up. and we just stand around and talk.

I do believe we went to war with Mexico once over something similar to this. does the name Pancho Villa ring any bells?

I'm sorry but they should demand that illegsls be paid the same so that they can stop undercutting American workers. Don't forget, it is still illegal to hire them so if this last advantage is removed, employers will have to start doing the right thing.
