    Sure they can't work here legally but there are 25 million ++++ here working now... Sounds like a problem to me and the law is not being enforced.....
    Just to give you an ideal of how many illegals that is take
    New York
    +
    LA
    +
    Chicago
    (3 largest cities) and you would have just about 25 million people...

    That's a lot of people here that can't work as you say......... The fact is they do find jobs and VERY LITTLE is done about it...

    Despite drop in per barrel cost, gas prices Increase

    Congress dumbfounded, and calling Oil industry leaders to Washington again.

    The price of gas jumped yet another .15 at closing on Monday evening, with no apparent increase in per barrel oil cost. Industry leaders state the recent increases in production cost and distribution, main culprit. Congress has it's doubts. And launched a 30 member committee to investigate this matter. Total cost of the projected investigation not expected to exceed 30 Billion. However, the current consumer market is volatile and prices are subject to change. Congress states if they finish the investigation in a timely manner. There should be no cost over runs.

    However, Senator Harry Reid has objected to this committee and called for hearings of his own. Which may delay the committee action by as much as 12 months.

    I used to get to Chicago, many places there you throw a rock, and get cursed at in Spanish. The thing about those stings, like at Postville, is that they are fitted with the transponder, and they can't work but they can take care of their kids as long as charity helps them out. The law isn't being enforced, and where it is enforced, it can't be enforced fairly, they sentenced one today to 12 years because he wouldn't plead guilty, those that did plea out got several months in jail before deportation.

    Very little is being done about it in our nation as a whole, because it benefits the rich to have illegals working for them. Not just rich business people either.

    Do you by chance remember Zoe Baird, the first 'victim' of Nannygate?
    Funny how I can remember names like that, but not ones I should know. Sometimes being 'older than dirt' is not much fun.:biggrin_2554:
