But laws that deputize employers to police their workers for illegal immigration merit repeal. The employer s job is to hire people to produce goods and services, not act as a spy for the federal government. But they do open themselves to federal charges of discrimination based on ethnic origin. Chavez is accused of harboring an illegal immigrant. America was built by immigrants.
Immigrants are people who want the best out of life.
They re not satisfied with the poverty, oppression, and lack of opportunity in their own countries. Immigrants are entrepreneurs. They take the initiative and get off their butts to move to a strange new land and to use their minds and their wits to work their way to prosperity. And immigrants are risk-takers who know that there are no assurances of success, but that if they do not try, there is no hope for the future. The answer is that the terms of employment between employer and employee should be none of the government s business.
