Do so because they pay them less than minimum wage, don't have to withold any taxes and pay them mostly in cash under the table. The illegal aliens do not pay any taxes at all.

This creates a gray sub-economy that detracts from the official economy.

The Jews were LEGAL residents and CITIZENS of the countries they were living in when the German national-socialists turned them into slaves and then murdered them... (Same goes for the millions who were murdered by the bolsheviks)

And the WaPo wants to equate them with ILLEGAL aliens who are living better (illegally) here than they would live legally in their own country?!?

MRC Notable Quotables - August 1, 2003 seems appropriate on this one:

  PBS cares about the riff-raff and plight of undocumented aliens and condemning mean-spirited conservatives for not caring about them -- think of many prime time PBS specials on those being “left behind” and lectures from Bill Moyers -- but not when they actually have to see them next door.

     Earlier this week, Sharon Percy Rockefeller, CEO of WETA, the Washington, DC PBS station really located in Arlington County, Virginia, lashed out at the county board for voting to build a pavilion, to house day laborers waiting for work, next door to WETA’s studios where the PBS NewsHour and Washington Week are taped.

     “WETA balks at having day-labor shelter next door,” declared the headline over the July 31 story in the Northern Virginia Journal about WETA’s reaction to the Tuesday night vote by the all-Democratic county Board of Supervisors.

     An excerpt from the story by Scott McCaffrey:

The Arlington County Board's decision to build a $100,000 pavilion to house day laborers waiting for work may have severely ruptured relations with one of the county's most prominent employers.

After more than three hours of public comment and debate, County Board members voted 4-1 to spend up to $140,000 to create the new facility, which would be located not far from Interstate 395 at the intersection of 27th Street South and South Shirlington Road.

The new facility is designed to give day laborers, mostly Hispanic immigrants, a place to congregate and meet employers each day. It is located across Four Mile Run Drive from the current, informal day-laborer site on the Washington & Old Dominion Regional Park trail head.

The new day-laborer site will be located adjacent to the WETA broadcast facility, one of several buildings it uses in Shirlington.

WETA's Chief Executive Officer, Sharon Percy Rockefeller, who made an almost unprecedented appearance at the board meeting, was stinging in her rebuke to board members.

“You've been wonderful to work with -- until recently," Rockefeller said.

She predicted a “pretty hostile environment" for WETA employees who could be accosted by day laborers while walking from one building to another. Putting the day-laborer building in the planned location will also inconvenience high-profile guests who arrive to be interviewed on the “NewsHour," public broadcasting's signature news program that is produced from WETA's studios in Shirlington, Rockefeller said. 

“This is not going to be a good solution," Rockefeller said. “It would absolutely complicate our lives."...

On average, about 30 workers congregate most mornings at the current pickup site, county officials said. About two-thirds of them find employment and are gone by noon.

The new facility, located adjacent to Arlington's Jennie Dean Park, will be open to employers from 6 a.m. to noon daily. Although pickup facilities will be closed at noon, day laborers who did not find work will be allowed to stay in the vicinity throughout the day.

County officials promised a vigorous police presence, something they acknowledge does not always occur at the current day-laborer site. Police will not, however, take on the role of immigration officers; county officials concede that many of those who are looking for work are in the United States illegally....

I have no doubt that many of Constable's readers will fall for this fabricated apartheid story, hook, line, and sinker.

As one who speaks Spanish fluently, I am in constant contact with Hispanics - legal, illegal, and otherwise. Not a single, and I repeat, not a single one of them has ever compared the U.S. to Nazi Germany.

I would submit that this hit piece, which indulges in the leftist's tendency that everything that does not concur with their views is to be labeled as "Nazi", is misleading, false, and wholly devoid of facts.

I would wager that Pamelita does not even have the basic Spanish vocabulary and literary skills beyond that of a first semester middle school student. Her journalism skills are hardly better.

Liberal: a power worshipper without power. George Orwell

As somebody with an interesting perspective on the immigration process, let me chip in my two cents worth....

My wife and I adopted a baby girl from Guatemala in December, 2005, so I know a little bit about the immigration process, as we had to complete it on behalf of my infant daughter. Let's suffice to say that the process was long, and unnecessarily complicated. But we completed it, and, very recently, my daughter (now 2) just received her "Certificate of Citizenship" from our government. So she is endowed with the same rights as I am (except for being president...she wasn't born here)....but she only entitled to those rights BECAUSE WE ABIDED BY THE IMMIGRATION RULES!

To those that enter into this country illegally, and demand anything from my government...using my tax dollars to pay for it, I say this.....We should treat you like your home country treats the illegal immigrants inside its borders!

Do you think that the illegal Guatemalan and Honduran immigrants in Mexico are given free health care? That they gather in the streets to demand fair wages, free education, some form of "work amnesty" program? Heck no! They are lucky if the survive the work season without being robbed or killed.

If you chose to come here and work "under the table", then keep your head down and your mouth shut! You are not a citizen, so you have no entitlement to any of the services reserved for citizens. If being here is so important...then do it right, and don't complain if you get caught and deported.

You could always go work in Guatemala.......

A PROUD AMERICAN

In my opinion this pamala constable, is nothing but hateful, toward the America People.  How dare she compare what the Jews suffered at the hands of the Nazis to the ILLEGALS.  If this is what she really believes, than in my book she is a poor sick excuse for a law abiding American.  WaPo is sinking almost as fast as the nyt, this editor needs to be replaced before he does any more damage, any editor that will allow idiots like constable to expouse this hate of America should be held up for ridicule.
