What's funny is this grand conspiracy you seem to have concocted in your head.

Good to hear.

So how are they blackmailing employers?


They are creating false documents and attempted to make a rap sheet for me and others employed at my store. They have threatened the store physically and verbally from afar and have made bomb threats against the store if they dont get rid of the current workers. That kind of blackmail.

False documents and criminal records isn't blackmail, and I don't see how a fake rap sheet would ever hold up to scrutiny. Bomb threats would be, but that's not really blackmailing with lies about who they are.

Of course, this is all a moot point. Even if you are the victim of some manner of Mexican mafia, that says nothing about immigrants in general.

Unique, expensive, and annoying case, But it is affecting my overall judgement of immigrants. However if one shows respect to me, illegal or not, I show respect back. I just want these few gone...

:palm: Then you are being foolish, judging the majority on the basis of the few.

One bad apple can ruin the whole bunch. But anyways, enough thread cluttering about an isolated incident.

One bad apple is no reason to judge the farm.

But yes, lets get away from the unique and isolated incident, which you brought up as a reason for this bad law.

I've never understood the rationale as to why the mainstream right tends to find itself opposing imigration while the left doesn't. I mean considering the effects of illegal immigration, cheap labour, undermining of unions etc. you'd think they'd love illegal imigration while the left hated it or at most ambivalent..

More like a pointless law. I hate illegal immigration but Alabama doesn't seem to have a real immigration problem.

No, its a bad law; It invades the privacy of citizens and immigrants alike.

You really deserve a reward for blind optimism there. It's politics, where there is no hope, nor rationale.

Nowhere near as bad as the border, or even Georgia, but it has become quite a problem. Indeed one must wade through a sea of Latino men to get into Home Depot, and Lowes around major metropolitan areas.
