Undocumented aliens rebuilding Biloxi, say they deserve visas 3793

"A visa "would help us to not have fear," said Hugo Martinez, 37, who has been working alongside Armenta. "

If the US govt mandated the same overheads for illegals like him and allowed him to come out of the shadows -his labour would be as expensive as that of americans and americans would end up taking his job -and he will have to go back to mexico.

"So far, there's been little risk. The Department of Homeland Security has announced a 45-day period in which employers would not be fined for hiring undocumented workers. It said that was because many people had lost their proof of citizenship or legal residence in the storm. "

did they ever fine employers like walmart for hiring illegals? Nor a single illegal alien can afford to stay in the United States without a job in hand.

"John Keeley, director of communications for the Center for Immigration

Studies, a nonprofit think-tank dedicated to lowering illegal immigration to the United States, said the immigrants' pleas "illustrate their desperation." "

Yes -they have no jobs back home and no legal status and lots of misery & slavery in the US. Why can't americans make it illegal for employers to hire them -if they want them out so badly? The california economy would collapse in no time if that happened.
