Illegals Caught, Now Scared...So Go Home Already

From the Fayetteville Observer:

Scared Smithfield workers stay home

Give me a break here. They are illegal!

The 20 men and one woman arrested were moved Thursday from the Mecklenburg County Jail to Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, Ga., nearly 700 miles from Tar Heel.Meanwhile, church officials within the region’s Hispanic community and spokespeople with the United Food & Commercial Workers union said the workers’ families didn’t know where they were and other immigrant workers were terrified of more arrests.

They would not be terrified if they were here legally. Maybe they should have thought about this before they came across the border without illegally. They broke the law and now should live up the responsibilities that comes with that decision.

“The entire community has been terrorized,” said Gene Bruskin, head of the Smithfield Justice Campaign, a national coalition backed by the union. “Parents are being torn from their young children who don’t know where they are. Many of these workers have given their life blood to this company for (years) and now are being summarily handed over to be arrested and discarded. It is unconscionable and continues Smithfield’s pattern of callous disregard for the wellbeing of its workers.”

Smithfield in obeying the law, which I thought was every good citizens responsibility, is being callous. That's it, I'm done with NC. The only thing that will bring me back are those caffeinated doughnuts. Don't come to my country, or even state in this case, illegally, not even paying taxes thus contributing to social programs that are in place for you the illegal, and then actually cry and whine when you get caught. I have not sympathy for anyone caught, regardless of what country you come from. The problem just happens to be mainly Mexico.

Fired workers will certainly be in a tight spot, but the local economy shouldn’t take a substantial hit, said Chuck Heustess, executive director of the Bladen County Economic Development Commission.
“You feel sorry for the individuals, but at the same time, Smithfield would be crazy to employ illegally when the federal government is cracking down,” Huestess said. “They’ll find 500 new people.”

Why feel sorry for them? I am missing a chunk of money that I earn, legally by the way, to pay for social programs designed to help illegals. I don't feel sorry for them. If that evil federal government wouldn't crack down, we wouldn't have any of these problems. I have an idea that I think would work on this subject. We let all the illegals into the country that want to come here and work and then we tax 90% of their wages, and even tax the homeless for good measure. The illegals, will soon flee to Canada. It's a win-win situation, alright maybe not for Canada, but at least the illegals would already have free health care there. Which I may add is the best in the world, providing state of the art and up to date (circa 1977) medical equipment.
