Thank You President Obama?????

[Calypso Jones]

Why, do you think that I am kidding? I see no reason to employ the families that I have for years, After all according to the left the wealthy are $#@!s to begin with? Might as well have the money!

This allows companies like mine to get around the Obamacare mandates and regulations, and once these workers are documented? There is no legal action that they can take against me?

every action has a reaction, It has become very clear to me that I can't beat the left and the republicans have no courage to stand up to a person of color? So I might as well you the laws that they pass to my advantage, why should I not?

If your workers are Obama voters, they're gone yesterday.

There is no longer a need to pay illegals under the table, since they are no longer in the employment black market.

Since they will work for minimum wage at any type of work, the chances of American citizens getting construction jobs have now gone down to nil.

This is very interesting. I could fire my redneck American employee and hire 2 or 3 latrats for the same money. I guess I'd think about it if I wanted to learn more espanol... I'll stick with "dos mas cervesos, por favor", and "la quinta'...

Most of the homes we are working on will finish in late Jan or early Feb, Pink slips will be given as the homes are finished, my Supers already speak Spanish as we have Subs that use Mexican workers. I see no reason to hire American workers

We tried that here in Alabama ... didn't go over to well ... LOL




It has been one year since Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley signed HB 56, the nation’s most harmful immigration measure, into law

http://thinkprogress.org/justice/201...-law-one-year/

Shortly after some of immigration provisions went into effect in September, the widespread damage from the law was obvious.

By December, even Bentley admittedthat HB 56 “need[s] revision,” although it would be months before lawmakers took action.

Courts temporarily blocked parts of HB 56, but not before students were too scared to go to school and families were denied utilities ...

Best do it while you can because I'm sure these poor citizens without a country will be unionized quickly.

[Alyosha]

So loyalty to the people who've worked for you faithfully means nothing because the president made you mad? Hmmm.

Here in East Tennessee we have a lot of poor people. White, Mexican, Native American and Black in that order proportionally. The churhes do food and clothing drives constantly. We give a lot all through the year and at Christmas time for these kids who have very little. When a child on the Christmas gift tree asks for shoes for a younger sibling and nothing for himself it tugs at your heart. Something is very wrong for the richest country in the world to have kids needing and wanting like that. Obama isn't showing compassion for those 11 million illegals. He is showing lack of compassion for the millions of poor already here. Many of these poor families voted for Obama, hanging their hat on all his promises.
The majority of these illegals are poorly educated, they will be a drain on our systems, not an asset. We should be concentrating on the legal immigration rolls and increase visas for engineers, scientists, doctors. Obama is over burdening the low skill employment field. He's hurting the poor of this land, he's reducing their chances of making a good, decent life for themselves.
This immigration action on his part is purely an act of political shrewdness, nothing more and he is shrouding it in the cloak of compassion. He's a liar and a sneak, and he's bad for America. He has made himself king, and anyone who makes a joke about it or fails to see the seriousness of his un-Constitutional action is clueless.

[Alyosha]

As an immigrant I'm not happy about this, but at the same time the level of pettiness partisan politics has broken down to in America is just disgraceful.

I hope Zelmo is bullshitting or else my opinion will just drop down to negative digits. People worked for you and gave their time and if you decide because Obama is an $#@! to drop them for others or even because you can get others cheaper than what does that say about you?

Do you need the extra millions? Or is this just a "love of money" thing?

Has nothing to do with that AL,

The ACA was totally un affordable. I could not figure out how to get around it, This is the way around it!

Yes I feel for the people that are going to lose there job, but in some cases Business is Business, with all of the taxation, regulation, and the ACA?

This may be the only way to remain in business and competitive
