AZ: IF they were sincere they would go after THE EMPLOYERS
Advertisements [?]
Why don't they go after the people who invite the undoc workers here - the ones who hire them! If they were sincere about it they would make the employers liable for hiring them, they're they ones making money off them. Doesn't it make more sense to go to the chicken processing plant and the lettuce farm and make HR give them proof that all the workers are documented, than stopping every brown person individually and demanding proof??

But they are not sincere; they want the cheapest, most exploitable labor and they know that this law isn't going to put a dent into it.

And it makes them look "tough on immigration" to the idiot Freepers for Nov.

What is it going to take to have a REAL conversation about this subject -- including the wages and working conditions the employers provide that make a constant flow of NEW undocumented workers in the best interest of the corporations?
