Will the "Immigrant Boycott" shut down any airports?

Trouble is there are a lot of companies that seek illegal,
undocumented labor, such as motels and hotels

Yep, the lodging industry is one of the prime culprits in this problem.


Yet, I've been in an email mosh pit over this issue with "human
resource professionals" from big-chain hotels, some of who are bashing
me for being "unfair" to "workers" and "denying their rights" by not
hiring documented Americans!

These so-called "professionals" have deluded themselves into thinking
that it's somehow okay to hire illegal aliens (because "Americans don't
want to do that kind of work"), and that these illegals somehow have
rights that supercede the law.

It disgusts me, and I'm ashamed of my industry.

Am I missing something? You don't hire un documented aliens, are you? What
is their beef?

the customers are a bit to blame too: how much more would it cost
to eat out (or to just buy the groceries for that matter) if it was
not for cheap illegal labor working on farms or in restaurants?

we like it cheap, and few people -- including the ones fuming and
enraged by today's protests -- would be willing to pay the price.

When there is no choice, most will pay the increased prices.

What happens when gas prices increase 100%? We pay. Gas is a much larger
part of most people's budgets, than eating out, or the few cents more for
the tomatoes, at the grocery store. Still, we buy gas.

Will some people have to cut back a little? Yes, some will, a little, but
not most.

I put it back on the shoulders of the farmer, or hotelman, or whatever
employer.

If most employers are being legal, and you are not, you get to charge the
same as what they are charging for their services/products. The money you
saved by using undocumented labor goes straight into your pocket. All of
it.

Greed. It all comes down to greed.

Nail the employer. Nail them hard. When no employer is willing to take the
chance, there will be no jobs for the illegals, and eventually, they will
stop coming.

Amen, brother.

In fact, I have sent an open letter to the Lodging Association,
advocating precisely that.

There are some rumours that spam king Alan Ralsky has been arrested and
is possibly fingering the operators of various 'bot nets'.

Ralsky is a US citizen.

Smash his keyboard with a steel pipe...while he's typing.

Ummm, well, I flatly disagree...
I am an employer for most of my adult life...
I am forced to pay a ****load ( thread continuity) of extra taxes as
punishment for having the audacity to take people off the street and
turn them into self supporting citizens..
Now the government in addition to punishing me for giving people work
and a paycheck is determined to offload it's constitutionally mandated
job of securing the borders from foreign invasion, onto me as an
employer replete with draconian punishment... I wonder if mere limb
amputations will be used for minor errors...
I, for one, refuse to become a shill for this incompetent government,
this venal congress, and more importantly for this administration... I
do notice that the government has never in my 40 plus years of
employing people, refused or even questioned the money I send them as
payroll taxes (except to try to wring more out of me)... Why, if I
didn't know better I would begin to suspect that they only care about
getting more money so they can use it to buy votes to get re-elected...



The congress is incompetent and futile... It's only modern purpose is
to perpetuate itself, it's perks, and it's lifetime retirement pay...
Asking it to exercise self discipline, set aside political posturing,
represent the voters who elected them (who are not the 12 million
illegals) and force the administrative branch to secure the borders by
simply withholding funding for any other purpose until said border
security is established, is like asking a three year old to stop having
tantrums... Yet that is the action that will actually secure the
borders - and will do it with a clang like a bank vault door, within
days...

I recognize that my views will not be popular in this group, so be
it... Some of us can reason beyond the knee jerk swill put out by the
media...

So, do you check documentation, as required by law? If you do, then you
would be off the hook. If not, shame on you, and you deserve what you get.
