State Superintendent Walter says no more illegal kids in school!

[Hawkstar]

I am.

How is me framing a wall and sheetrocking part of the problem ?

Yeah, somehow we have laws against that stuff but the dollar makes it okay. Not only is the employer breaking the law, everyone who sees it and doesn't report it is just as guilty. When I hear the company owners complain they can't find help, what I hear is they can't get cheap labor.

100%. And understand guys are always reporting it but nothing gets done . Even better , they have gotten passed the e verification process for the bigger jobs. Get some p p e on and go blend in on a commercial construction site one day. It is blatant and in your face. And some folks wonder way the wages for construction have not increased much since the 90's. Yaaay! I'm waiting to see what Happens in January .

By the time you pay all the overhead that is required for each company employee the advantage definitely goes to the guy working under the table be it a legal citizen or an illegal alien. I don't know if it's like with big manufacturers that pay out the bung for all the gov regulations so they make the move overseas or what but the citizens are definitely loosing the race and running out of gas.

In my field, when those illegal construction guys get hurt, need surgery and rehab, the state foots the bill cause even though they got injured on the job, they have no worker's comp or insurance. We still pay for that too.

Therein lies part of the problem.

It's bad enough that I keep photos of dudes that I know for sure are not legal on my ipad .....when a new dude shows up for my team and I can prove he isn't legal he doesn't even get signed in. But that only works for my small cog in the machine.

Oh I know. We are not even allowed to call an ambulance or any kind of medical assistance for them .Or transport anyone . Our instructions are to report the injury to the general contractors safety lead, or ours if we have one on site. Not to say that I have never done the right thing for a dude with a broke leg or his elbow hanging out of his skin. It's a bad situation that we are all stuck in and you are absolutely right it stems from GREED .

I've been on calls (of course, this was over 20 years ago, but I'm betting it's worse now) where I've found 20+ illegals living in a one bedroom apartment. We had a special LE number to contact the feds. They just weren't interested. I never once had ICE come out on a call where we (the police dept) contacted numerous illegals.

Don’t forget liquor by the drink and HB 1017

At least, the kids are taken of.

In those 20+ years all that has changed is the amount of illegals and how much better they are treated and profit today

Families can be deported together

Parents should have thought of that before breaking the law in the 1st place. Send them back and let that Government foot the bill for getting them back together. Not the citizens of the USA's fault they get separated. Dont break the law and use the Stay in Mexico until we contact you.
