It got so bad that this industry (property management) now runs background checks on each emplyee applicant.  It's not mandatory for employers to do it but I think that most in our industry do it now......along with drug testing.  It's all just normal protcol now.

Good point JCZ, this is why I feel we need some laws changed. Most of the large corperations do this but like you said it is not mandatory. That opens the door to the small businesses to hire illegals.

I agree that many small businesses hire these illegals,  I did it not knowing any better back when I started my first business 15 years ago.  If employers are going to get penalized, then I believe all those who hire illegals for gardening, housekeeping, babysitting, plumbing and all other construction trades without the proper licenses should also be held accountable.  This is an impossible task but, just imagine how much revenue could be generated by the local and federal governments.  It sure could fund a growing number of inspectors as long as their not willing to get paid off like some unscrupulous gov. EEs can get. I know this is a whole topic in itself.

Yesderday, I went to the Home Depot, there are a bunch of laborers who wait just inside the parking lot for contractors to pick them up for jobs....I never hire any illegals...but yesderday I decided to drive up to them, they all ran up to my truck, I asked "who speaks English"...a few said "ME ME !". I told them to tell the others who dont speak english to take another day off along with themselves, as the strike day didnt work , and now get the F*** away from my truck. Being the nice guy that I am, I also threw in a "Happy Cinco de Mayo"

Mike you sound a little disgruntled But I share the same sentiments. My only deal is that I hire legal sub-contractors who provide me with liability and workers comp certificates but I can't be sure if all their employees are legal. Thats the extent of what I do to try to curb the flow of illegals. If anyone has any suggestions LMK.Later.

Homeland Security my arse! The doors are wide open. The more that comes to light the worse it gets. Seen a show about Oregon one State Police guy for the whole coast. Think they said there was only 20 in the whole State.

I sense the frustration of all of us.  That happens when we all feel helpless to right something so obviously broken.  We all admit we need imigration.  Most of us are only a few generations removed from that status.

But we are a nation of laws. The hard part of this from the prez on down is we all look the other way.  Have been doing so for years.  I freely admit that in NC, I always figured it to be a border state issue.  NOT MY PROBLEM.  Now I look around and we have the problem here.  Now I have been awakened.

Many parts of the problem have already been mentioned.  Our current laws address all of them.  BUT THEY ARE NOT ENFORCED.  There is no point in making new laws that we do not enforce.  The police catch illegals doing crime, and after processing them, let them go.  ICE did a raid last week in Charlotte, arresting about 50 illegals, then let them go. Gave them a court date in Atlanta next month.  HA, I'm sure they will all show up with their attorneys.  Companies are selectively audited and even then their hands tied. Way too much PC.

So if you think the problem is the Mexicans, you have not looked carefully enough.  The problem is US.  We can't say Get the business guy!  Get the Police!  Get the Border Patrol!  Get the government!  Its all of them, and us too.

We have to get the national will to fix this.  At this point as much as I would wish it, I don't believe it.
