Semester's over! What now?

Well, the Spring semester has come to an end and so has the class that was requiring me to update this blog.  I'm at a bit of a crossroad however.  Should I also end this blog since the class is done or do I keep this thing going for my own enjoyment?  At this time I think I'll keep it going, if for no other reason than to stroke my ego a bit more :)  Beware, things could get interesting now since I'm no longer tethered by the restraints put on me by the "education system".  Tell your friends to read along as well, you never know what you could learn in here.

Law Breakers, BEWARE!

Texas Republic TImes had this opinion  New Immigration Bill but I'm going to have to take the other side on this issue and say that this Bill is exactly the kick in the pants that the local business owners need to show them that the government means to play for keeps. Business owners use these undocumented workers because they can be had for very cheap, which lets them bid lower on many construction jobs, and majority of the time they will be paid in cash so that the owner does not have to pay any taxes or carry any sort of insurance for these workers. This practice is essentially taking money out of our economy since they don't pay nearly as much taxes as their competitors.

You speak of discrimination and civil rights? Civil Rights are awarded to US citizens, which these illegal immigrants are not. And there is no discrimination. This bill is directed to the business owners that are breaking the LAW! Failure to pay taxes is a federal offense, punishable by both fines and jail time.

I'm certain that every single person that hires an undocumented worker will not be sentenced to two years jail time and fine. These are maximum sentences that can be handed out and will surely be reserved for the habitual offender. For the average person, the idea of jail time is a huge deterrent against committing any kind of offense and that is the reaction that they are looking for when they attach such terms to a bill or law.

I think this bill should be passed without any problems and is very easy to patrol for offenders. Let those who break the law, be punished accordingly.
