“If we suddenly kicked out all of the people here, the undocumented, our dairy farms would collapse,” one lawmaker said. “We have to come up with a solution.”

    The solution: Amnesty and citizenship. Screw this “Everyone must suffer trying to be here.” They wanna be here. There are jobs for them. Just swear them in and forget all this bullshit.

      I wouldn’t go as far as citizenship. Work visa, at least. And you know why that won’t happen. Stealing out jobs and all that.

        I would. Hell, just to punish the guys who are hiring below the minimum wage I would give them citizenship AND a union card.

          Make them pay all the workers the difference between their actual wages and minimum wage up to a few years back and, once established that they do in fact work there, it’s up to the employer to prove they weren’t there that long but require full access to those books and include everyone in them for the back pay. Plus personal liability for anyone who was aware when it bankrupts the company.

          Edit: and the reporter is fast tracked through the citizenship process.
