Border Fence Firm - As Many as 1/3 Workers are Illegal
The joke becomes fact:

Border Fence Firm Snared for Hiring Illegal Workers

A fence-building company in Southern California agrees to pay nearly $5 million in fines for hiring illegal immigrants. Two executives from the company may also serve jail time. The Golden State Fence Company's work includes some of the border fence between San Diego and Mexico.

After an immigration check in 1999 found undocumented workers on its payroll, Golden State promised to clean house. But when followup checks were made in 2004 and 2005, some of those same illegal workers were still on the job. In fact, U-S Attorney Carol Lam says as many as a third of the company's 750 workers may have been in the country illegally.

2. Mexico's economy is based on exporting their poverty and having them send money back to Mexico
the standard of loving for the 'Have It Alls' is second only to France, the peasants standard of living is probably less than a lot of Africa's.. in El Paso TX they were always having charities to help the 27,000 poor souls living in Juarez garbage dump.. and doing nothing about the 5000 missing men and over 1000 missing young girls and their bodies that keep showing up all over the place

The UN declared Mexico... 'Morally Bankrupt and Democratically Irretrievable'.

if we wanted to start a democracy we should have invaded Mexico again.. they dont have any guns over there.. would have been a cake walk.. and would have done some good..

3. They should be put out of business and jailed.
"Golden State Fence's attorney, Richard Hirsch, admits his client broke the law. But he says the case proves that construction companies need a guest-worker program."


And he said it with a straight face.These people make me sick.

4. There most certainly will be a fence
It will run through the entire country dividing east and west.
I have taken to call it the American Berlin Wall.

Of course it is not said that entry and exit from the "corridor" will just have to be strictly "controlled" in the interest of "National" "Security".
