Call To Action – Fight For Tougher Laws For Employers Of Illegal Immigrants
While illegal immigrants are criminals who should not have snuck into our country, the companies that employ (or should I say exploit) these undocumented individuals are just as in the wrong.
As citizens, taxpayers, and American workers we need to let our city and state officials know that we demand tough penalties for businesses caught employing illegal immigrants.
First of all, all employers should have to use E-verify to ensure the legality of their hires. Companies should be more than happy to comply since this would protect the companies from “accidentally” hiring illegal aliens and being susceptible to fines for breaking the law.
Second we need to demand high fines and temporary closing down the businesses who exploit illegal workers. Our government has to make it more appealing to not hire illegal immigrants than it is to hire them.
Once the jobs dry up for illegal immigrants, America won’t be the sanctuary that it is now. While I’m not naive enough to believe it will completely stop illegal immigration, it will significantly reduce the number of aliens coming into the country illegally.
So write to your governor, senators, and representatives to demand that they put preventing companies from hiring illegal immigrants high on their list of priorities.
