Bingo - primarily the large business owners benefit from the exploitation of cheap illegal labor.

So we can expect Speaker John Boehner to sponsor legislation cracking down hard on those businesses?

I won't be holding my breath since big business is a huge Republican donor base.

Maybe if we had legalized guest workers who were taxed and regulated and allowed to come and go when business needed them....nah, that would be more big government impinging on the private sector's freedom. And unfair and coddling criminals and all that.

You folks are the first to squawk about big government getting in the way and now you are outlining exactly how big business screws you over because government won't fix the situation.

The next several years are going to be very comical for me to watch as these same old problems get worse and worse and worse, while efforts to fix them were undercut.

Good luck with that.

Yes, and there are no easy answers. It's one more problem facing the country, though, or as some might say, one more nail in the coffin of our economy.

Both parties are in fantasyland on this issue. It seemed to me that the flurry of liberal pundit criticism of what AZ in trying to do didn't get much traction in the media. The charges of racism and racial profiling don't seem to be sticking.
