They hurt our country in many ways: one of them is that they tend to keep out law abiding people and are easily evaded by people who have no respect for the law. As the law-abiding people tend to be the better educated, we do our economy great harm year after year with the foolish laws. It is a huge irony that because of the abortion regime in our country we don't have enough people to do the work. The further irony is that our leaky immigration system makes up for labor pool deficit in a way that lets in the classes of people Planned Parenthood would like to limit and excludes the elites that they would favor. May I also venture to say that the system lets in people who have a higher regard for children than the elites in our country? God's judgment, I say.Paul Stokeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02905961019293417243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6422299.post-55540487295296383662009-08-27T20:15:50.334-04:002009-08-27T20:15:50.334-04:00clearly, the current immigration laws are not work...clearly, the current immigration laws are not working, either for the immigrants who want to work, and the employers who need workers.<br /><br />But this is an immigration problem, that has a corollary medical cost problem.<br /><br />The work & immigration problem needs to be solved first. <br /><br />I have a higher view of law enforcement than I have of the law makers. But that wouldn't take very much, since my current view of law makers is only one degree above the absolute zero of contempt.Maconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08496143017772324015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6422299.post-43143916571145827742009-08-27T17:51:18.573-04:002009-08-27T17:51:18.573-04:00You are referring to the employment laws that proh...You are referring to the employment laws that prohibit hiring illegal aliens. My take on that is that those laws haven't worked and won't work because we don't have enough native people to do the jobs in question and need to import people to do them, whether legally or illegally. That has changed since the Great Recession began, of course. That new situation, more than any other, should dampen the illegal alien problem - and it is. I don't have as high a view of law enforcement as you may have.Paul Stokeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02905961019293417243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6422299.post-25590157678451966082009-08-27T06:52:05.028-04:002009-08-27T06:52:05.028-04:00How about just enforcing the current employment la...How about just enforcing the current employment laws?<br /><br />I'm not saying there isn't a better solution to paying for the health care of indigent folks, but your argument sounds a little like the gun control folks who want more laws because badguys keep getting their hands on guns. <br /><br />Besides, any law that doesn't exactly target the companies you describe, for exactly the thing they're doing, will really just be a law that extorts/punishes all the other businesses who are doing right.Maconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08496143017772324015noreply@blogger.com
