How did you get that from my post?

I thought your post was about Witman. As I said, if no one hired illegals, they wouldn't want to come here.

My understanding is that she would only be in violation of a civil offense and not a criminal, certainly not worthy of handcuffs.

Considering there are 12 million or so illegal aliens in this country, you'd think a sense of priority would place a housekeeper who's here simply to improve her life pretty low on the list.

That's not to say she shouldn't be processed as an offender, but that to make an example of her doesn't make a lot of sense.

Of course, she could always be a terrorist.

how could that be? She is an illegal alien. Federal offense, no?

I'm pretty sure that just being in the country illegally is a civil offense under Federal law.

This was a big part of the AZ legislation which sought to make it a "crime" by requiring all immigrants to carry papers indicating their current status.

Never said otherwise. But if when the Whitman's found out there was trouble with the SS#, they followed up instead of telling the maid "to do something about this" or whatever the husband wrote on the letter she wouldn't have this issue now and if others did the same, the illegal problem would take care of itself.

Any politician who does hires illegals (Whitman, Zoe Baird), doesn't know the cost of a bread/milk or the minimum wage (L. McMahon) doesn't deserve to be elected.

Does this mean that I have to fire the two illegals that work on my lawn?

I think that I found a loop hole, they are not mexican, they are guatemalan.
