Because Mexico is right there. If you live in the Southwest they spoke Spanish before English. They said fuck anglos. But nobody is addressing these companies doing the shady shit. Why? Because Americans will eadily accept a corporation working against their interest vs a poor person trying to improve their life. We fighting for scraps man dont you see?
Arizona actually has a law on the books that passed back in 2007 and upheld by the SCOTUS in 2011 that has harsh penalties for any company found knowingly hiring illegals.
I'm all for people improving their lives, but do it the right way. Don't break the law and expect me to have some sort of sympathy for you 'cause you were just "trying to improve your life".
Speaking of laws... Know how everyone always says that they're law abiding citizens when they get here? That's a lie. La Raza, The ACLU, the IRS, the SSA, League of United Latin American Citizens, Migrant Farmworker Justice Project, Vice, USA Today, and the New York Times have ALL stated at one time or another that illegal immigrants are overwhelmingly committing serious felonies, with some stating the number is as high as 80% of them engaged in it. What crimes are they committing? Identity Theft, Social Security Fraud, Bank Fraud, Forgery, Perjury, and Income Tax Fraud.
Every one of these is a Federal-level felony with Bank Fraud carrying the harshest penalty of all of them: 30 years in prison, up to $1M in fines, or both for a single count of Bank Fraud. The Mexican that stole my identity, filed taxes under my name, and prolly other shit committed a minimum of three of those: Identity Theft, Income Tax Fraud, and when he filled out the I-9 form he committed Perjury. Ran consecutively he'd be looking at 25 years in a Federal prison (15 years for ID Theft, 5 years for Perjury, and 5 years for Tax Fraud).
Nah b, I can't rock with these people being here like this. I'm all for folks rising up out of poverty and all, but do the shit right.
