So, enforcing immigration and labor laws is a "witchhunt mentality?" I hope that law enforcement everywhere engages in "witchhunt mentality" more often, particularly in this area of widespread illegality.

i don't know the process of getting a visa to work here, since i'm not from another country, and never needed to get permission to work here.
but there are h2-a and h2-b programs for foreign workers to be able to get work here for a specified amount of time.
as for my comment on the 'witchhunt mentality'....i meant that in regards to the fact that many automatically assume that if someone looks mexican, well by god they must be here illegally. a lot of assuming going on as to who belongs here, and who doesn't.

Yes, those are nonimmigrant classifications (H2-A and H2-B).

As for those who appear to be illegal "on their face," so to speak, if I were witchhunting illegals, I'd certainly investigate hispanics. That group comprises an overwhelming percentage of illegal aliens in the United States. I'll excuse law enforcement agents and officers who don't zone in on Scandanavians.

yes, i understand that we have illegals, and that the majority come from south of the border. my issue is with everyone looking at every person who appears to be mexican and shouting 'INS'.
but then, where i live, racism is rampant on so many levels. it's sickening.

funny thing is, people shout something must be done about illegal immigrants. but what? it's very simplistic to say get them all out of here.
reality is that many think (with good reason) that social security has been kept solvent all these years due to the pay ins by illegals, who then can't collect-as the social security #'s they give are bogus. then there's the fact that the labor market is already tight, growers, planters, farmers are already scrambling for labor. in this area, pine is a big crop-and they can't plant enough trees as the # of people filing for worker visas has dropped dramatically.
so, produce costs will skyrocket, inflation has already grown by leaps and bounds due to gasoline-add labor in on top of it.
so yeah, the pollyannic view is do away with illegals. it sounds good in theory. now put it in practice, and see what happens.

i don't think that immigration violation is that huge for this country. we've got a lot of larger issues to deal with, but people get sidetracked with stuff like this.

Yes, I'm sure you are on the right track. All those rascally illegal alien latinos picking fruit for Dole and American Brands and cutting lawns or cleaning homes for WASPY Scandanavians are most definitely the big problem these days.

With all these illegal latins running around with easily obtained garden shears and cleaning solutions, it is a wonder that whenever a kid shoots up a high school or college with an automatic weapon, it is only a zillion times more likely to be a WASPY sort than a latino kid.

Thank God they haven't taken that over too.
