Sarah Palin Mocks GOP

You are on to something here. How about prosecuting those businesses who hire illegal immigrants? That would completely solve the problem.

effective july 1 my state required all businesses to use the federal database to screen all new hires to reject the illegal aliens

sounds good at first blush

problem is, the existing illegals remain employed without consequence to the employer

AND the law only applies with businesses having more than 25 employees
97% of all of the employers in the state will not have to comply

or stated differently, 97% of the employers can continue to hire illegals without negative consequence
 
Sarah Palin had harsh words for the GOP establishment who voted for immigration reform, saying they “disrespect Hispanics” by passing the bill. “Great job, GOP establishment,” began the statement Palin posted on Facebook on Friday. “You’ve just abandoned the Reagan Democrats with this amnesty bill.” The Senate passed a bipartisan immigration reform bill on Thursday 68-32. Fourteen Republicans voted for the legislation, which has been characterized as a way for the GOP to increase its appeal among a traditionally Democratic base: Hispanics.

Palin disagreed with this perspective, writing: “It was the loss of working class voters in swing states that cost us the 2012 election, not the Hispanic vote.” “Legal immigrants respect the rule of law,” Palin continued. “You disrespect Hispanics with your assumption that they desire ignoring the rule of law.”

Palin has been outspokenly critical of immigration reform in recent days, criticizing Republicans who support the bill, including Marco Rubio and Kelly Ayotte. as well as the content of the legislation. Her statement on the Corker-Hoeven border security amendment, posted to Facebook on Monday, is titled “Holes in the Border As Big As the Holes in Their Amnesty Bill.”

I don't think the requirements we place on legal immigrants are unreasonable or bad. Changing the law to allow for a guest worker program, for instance, might make sense. Rewarding people for breaking a law, good or bad, isn't an answer to anything.

Really, this is some form of reward? In all honesty the best an illegal immigrant turned legal is going to see is american poverty. It will be their children who see any real "reward" for being american. Do you really think working for minimum wage at a job few others want to do is a reward? We are not giving these people middle class jobs, houses, or good money. poor people do not get the good things in america, they get the crap on the bottom, and the rich seem to think that they have the life when they get something no one else wants.

Yes giving citizenship to lawbreakers is a reward for breaking the law. You're all hung up on feeling sorry for them. Feeling sorry for something isn't a good way to establish policy. The best policies are those developed with the least emotion.

you are all about feeling angry at them. I simply pointed out the reality. 99 percent of these illegal immigrants are not rich people. They do not come over here and get good jobs. Except for a rare few they will work and die in poverty even if we allow them to become legal. This sweet life they are working for is not for themselves for the most part. It is for their next generations who will grow up in america with american influences. You are fooling yourself into thinking there is a reward for them personally at the end of citizenship. if you are really worried about taking away some perceived reward deport their kids.

bottom line is that those who reside in our nation illegally might be again offered amnesty for such illegal behavior and then further benefit from citizenship
why would the third world population not again view this as a motivation to also enter the USA illegally, as resulted after reagan's amnesty/citizenship conferred upon illegals during his regime

as you have observed, these illegal residents will likely live in poverty, relying on the tax dollars of American citizens to subsidize their standard of living. why would a nation of free people expect to voluntarily incur the cost of such subsidies. subsidies which are certain to continue if those illegals are made legal and citizens

if public policy could be more misguided than to incentivize under skilled, impoverished illegals to reside in the USA, please identify it
