6 – Both are illegal. Both problems can be settled without too much trouble:
Here: Conservatives that employ undocumented workers should be fined with PERMANENT tax hikes – Eisenhower era tax hikes. If that just becomes the cost of doing business (can’t imagine it) then impose jail time. Conservatives will then be forced to either buy American (something they hate) or pay higher taxes (something they hate even more).
Israel: With advanced notice, pull the IDF out settlement by settlement. If the settlers (who by and large make the teabaggers look like flaming liberals) want protection – they should return behind the green line. They can of course stay and fight but after years of flagrantly abusing the Palestinians they’re in for some withering score-settling.
No I realize these aren’t serious proposals but hey I come here to have some fun with trolls.

Illegal Hiring Is Rarely Penalized
Washington Post Staff Writers
Monday, June 19, 2006
Between 1999 and 2003, work-site enforcement operations were scaled back 95 percent by the Immigration and Naturalization Service, which subsequently was merged into the Homeland Security Department. The number of employers prosecuted for unlawfully employing immigrants dropped from 182 in 1999 to four in 2003, and fines collected declined from $3.6 million to $212,000, according to federal statistics.
In 1999, the United States initiated fines against 417 companies. In 2004, it issued fine notices to three.

“The folks in Latin America would be better served by fixing up their own countries.”
Boy, wouldn’t that be great if Mexico could finally overthrow the Spaniards. Trouble is, the decendants of the original Spanish land grant families own and control everything in Mexico, and they’re not about to give up anything to improve the lot of the average campesino. Peasants are there to serve the “original Spanish” families – that’s the opinion of the upper-crust in Mexico. It appears to me that anywhere Spanish Catholicism landed in the Americas is pretty much like Mexico: “Spanish” decendants ruling over armies of impoverished peasants who don’t have any Spanish bloodline in them.
I think the Spanish behaved like the Romans in the Americas. Maybe that’s why those countries are so screwed up!

that is your ONLY reasoning when it comes to this subject. You dont care about illegals, other that you want them to become citizens as quickly as possible.
if you REALLY were serious about illegal immigration, you would know that purely going after businesses will never work, and I can prove it with one easy question.
and the question is:
Would you rather be unemployed in the US or unemployed in Mexico?
No matter if there is work or not, illegals will continue to come across the border because they know they can always get health care(IE emergency room access) and their hands on some sort of govt money, no matter what.

I care about human rights. The undocumented worker is only trying to support his family the best he can. I despise brutalizing people which is your first knee jerk impulse. That’s why I rather focus on the greedhead hiring the worker. Taking away his money for flouting the law isn’t going to kill him.
The more undocumented who really want to become tax-paying, patriotic, military-serving, society-contributing Americans, the better in my book. If they don’t want that, then fine, they should go back home.
It’d be nice if we tried. The border Nazi thing has NEVER WORKED. This should be good.

Yet another stupid right wing canard with nothing to back it up. If we can effectively sanction employers from hiring undocumented workers we can do the same in government services.
Closed mind yes. If you consider two synapses in an empty skull a mind.

My family and I use to travel in Mexico pre Reagan. The border wasn’t nearly as secure as today. The border didn’t need to be secure because INS went after the employers. Few employers hired illegals. Few illegals crossed into the US.
Reagan changed that. Wasn’t fair to the employers to single them out and all that. So he and the Rethugs in congress changed the law to focus on the illegals.
The point being, want to reduce the number of illegals in the country? Change the law back to what it was pre Reagan and enforce it.

My take on it is that for the last 50 years neither party has cared much about, “the little people,” except to fear them having any political power. Maquiladoras on the Mexican border go back to the Johnson Admin, helped crush the unions, siphoned off a bunch of cash that would have gone to the working class and gave it to the already wealthy investing class.
I’m cynical enough to think that beyond Obama’s border policy being straight out of Clinton’s play book- beating the Republicans at their own game- and maybe picking up a few working class votes Obama doesn’t really have any skin in the game. I’m hopeful enough to think that Obama’s trying to fix the border mess and knows that you can’t fix it w/o an enforcement arm of the policies to do so.

Wisconsin Update
A lot is going on in Wisconsin. Let’s start with the recall campaigns.
Status of recall drives. Democrats targeted eight GOP senators, and Republicans targeted six Democratic senators, for recall. As of yesterday, the state board that supervises elections has ordered that three GOP senators face recall elections on July 12, although that date could be moved back if the GOP sues to block the recall elections. Six more recall petitions — three Democrats and three Republicans — are pending; and the elections board will make a decision on those next week. If all nine petitions are referred to the ballot, Republicans will have to defend six seats, Democrats three seats. Democrats need a net gain of three seats to take control of the state senate.
Status of judicial election. The recount has been completed and incumbent state supreme court justice David Prosser, a Republican, won by 7,006 votes. The Democratic challenger at first appeared to have eked out an approximately 300-vote victory until a Republican county election boss with a long rap sheet of election irregularities “found” 14,000 additional ballots in her heavily Republican county that had been “overlooked” in the initial counting. There are some holes in the bottoms of the canvas ballots bags that these “new” ballots could have crawled through after the initial count showed Prosser losing, so it’s possible there will be a court challenge to the result of this election which, if it’s not resolved before the start of a new court term on August 5, could leave Prosser’s seat vacant for a while — in which case the state supreme court would have 3 Republican justices and 3 Democratic justices, and a potential tie vote on soon-to-be-ex-governor Walker’s union-stripping bill. If that happens, the fate of his bill could be decided be a lower court.
Recall election news. David VanderLeest, a 34-year-old GOP county vice chairperson and slumlord — er, excuse me, I intended to type “real estate entrepreneur” — has announced he is a candidate against Democratic state senator Dave Hansen of Green Bay. The reason I mention this is because I wanted to bring to your attention the high quality of candidates the Wisconsin GOP fields in state legislative races these days. According to the Miwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Vanderleest “was convicted of disorderly conduct, a Class B misdemeanor, in 2007. He said the conviction ws the result of a plea deal in a case involving a domestic dispute.” (I assume this means the prosecutor dropped a felony wife-beating charge in exchange for a guilty plea, but hell I don’t know, maybe I’m wrong about that.) The newspaper goes on, “That same year, a bank foreclosed his Green Bay house, which was sold at a sheriff’s sale. Another bank … won a court judgment for nearly $30,000 against VanderLeest and his coampnay …. The sum has have been paid, VanderLeest acknowledged. In addition, VenderLeest and his now ex-wife filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2006, meaning he did not have to repay most of his creditors.” VanderLeest’s explanation to the newspaper was, “I had a marriage fall apart, and I was in real estate … I’m not ashamed of that.” The newspaper continued, “Asked why the voters should select him to oversee a multibillion-dollar budget given his personal financial problems, VanderLeest said the answer is simple. ‘I represent the average person who’s struggling,’ he said. VanderLeest said he expects to be targeted by top officials in Green Bay. The city has taken him to court over guilding code violations at properties her owns, leading to mroe than $1,300 in fines …. His building were deemed nuisance properties. … VanderLeest said … “people will realize he was rigtht on all these matters once they read the documents he plans to post on his campaign website.” Here’s the link to the original news article if you’re interested; I suggest you have a barf bag handy:

With GOP candidates like that, wisconsin Democrats should be able to win all nine state senate seats.
In other Wisconsin news, the (temporarily) Republican-controlled legislature is getting set to pass a bill that would allow Wisconsin residents to carry concealed guns without any requirement for background checks, firearms training, or concealed carry permits. The law would ban carrying concealed guns in police stations, prisons, or airport security zones, but would not ban concealed guns from taverns or elementary schools.
National political news. Former Godfather’s Pizza CEO Herman Cain, an African-American candidate for the GOP presidential nomination, has gone on record saying if he’s elected president he won’t appoint any Muslims to his cabinet because he doesn’t trust them.
I don’t know if the U.S. has ever had a Muslim cabinet secretary, but Cain sounds like a pinhead to me. Now every Muslim who applied for a job with Godfather’s and wasn’t hired while Cain was CEO is going to get a lawyer and sue Godfather’s.

51 – This strikes me as kind of silly. There’s been more fiber pulled in Seattle than a lot of cities – way more than Tacoma or Spokane.
Seattle, Tukwila and whatnot have dozens of datacenters serving up websites and other internet services to customers all over the world. They aren’t connected to the net through paper cups and strings.
In my neighborhood in North Seattle, I’ve watched Pilchuk Contractors crews pull fiber and maintain the conduit for years.
It’s just that the fiber is used by Qwest, Comcast, Level 3 and many other outfits to service corporate customers and humdrum services like landline, cell towers and dsl. Almost no fiber reaches the home in Seattle although it comes close in the form of Comcast’s fiber to the neighborhood. If you can get your Netflix over your Comcast cable modem better it’s because of that.
I believe the customers in Pioneer Square are complaining more about the cost of big pipe broadband there more than the availability. Yes, broadband providers want to charge the big bucks for gigabit sized bandwidth.

By the way, illegal immigration is down dramatically from what it was two years ago.
Of course, the Obama administration has devoted more resources to border security than the Bush administration ever did, making it more difficult than ever to cross the border. But no border security is foolproof, we simply can’t afford the cost of building walls high enough, and manning them with guards, to secure the entire border. As was pointed out, there was never a ten-foot wall built that couldn’t be defeated by a twelve-foot ladder.
But the real reason for the decline in illegal immigrants is (a) the bad economy, which has hit the illegal immigrants harder than other people; and (b) the resurgence in prosecution of employers.
This buys us some time (a year or two, at most) in which to fix the system to increase the resources of the federal government to hit employers with meaningful penalties. A few good examples can cause considerable fear among the employers (the IRS figured this out a long time ago, which is why they publicize tax prosecutions of celebrities).
