Mexico is mounting an unprecedented effort to turn its permanent residents in the U.S. into citizens

I'm sure that is illegal under current law. The fired employees can sue and win.

Hope so, haven't heard anything like that having happened.

Actually I don't think we need any new laws. Just enforce the current would serve us well. H1b visas are supposed to be used only when you advertise for a talent and the position can not be filled from within the country. An then only after proving that you can't locate the talent does your foreign prospect get the visa.

It is already unlawful to hire foriegn workers without a current work visa.

Just imagine if Trump gets elected, put Joe Arpaio in command at HLS, Chris Christy as AG. The INS starts making checks to see if US companies are in compliance with existing law.
No need to spend time and treasure deporting people. They go home of their own free will, just like visitors are expected. Perhaps a bit tardy but as expected.

Go down to the welfare office, claim you're an illegal with no state issued ID and see if you can sign up for food stamps.

Nearly all illegals have "state issued" id along with ssn's.

Don't say nobody. I'm pissed about corporations bringing in workers on H1B visas and making the employees they fire train their replacements.

Sorry, I wasn't even thinking about that. And I hate that as well; it was one of the main reasons I backed Trump in the beginning, but now hes balking on that a bit, which pisses me off.

If you were making shit up as you went you'd change your tune often too.

The whole thing is a joke.

I mean, I get it. I also understand that sometimes you have to be flexible on your positions in order to get shit done. So compromise is probably the best way to resolve situations at that level; but god damn if I can't stand hearing about people training their Indian co-workers so they can take their job.

fuck that.
