Comprehensive immigration reform - NOT!
There does not need to be a new immigration bill passed. Congress needs to provide the funding for the enforcement of current laws. I remember the 1986 amnesty by Reagan, which never should have happened. I also remember how employers were supposed to ensure that the employees they hired were United States citizens. I also remember, in the late (80's) thinking that maybe the government was actually going to be serious about enforcing citizenship as it related to employment. But certain employers quickly found out that no enforcement would be forthcoming and they began recruiting Hispanics throughout the Great Plains, Midwest and other parts of the country. Subsequently, whole factories and large portions of several industries began to be dominated by Hispanics, at much lower wages. The importation of these illegal aliens has had an impact on many working Americans who find that the jobs that use to have been illegally taken from them. At the same time, they see that their government wants to reward the very companies and illegal aliens who took their jobs.
