HousingPANIC Stupid Question of the Day

So what do you think the hundred million illegals* in the US are doing now that their #1 industry (housing) has completely tanked, and state governments are getting tough?

* DISCLAIMER: My 100 million number is as accurate as any the government puts out. Nobody knows the truth - they're ILLEGAL and UNCOUNTED.

FLASH: Arizona governor gives the finger to our corrupt US Congress, makes hiring an illegal, well, illegal!!!!!!

If our bought-and-paid for corrupt Congress won't do anything, well then the states are going to have to take the issue on themselves. They're the ones drowning in illegals and if they don't act and act now, they're f*cked, and they know it.

Bravo to Napolitano and the Arizona legislature

Now that hiring an illegal is illegal, and now that housing has completely melted down in Arizona, the illegals are either going to go back home, or they'll be heading to a state near you.

In other words, watch the other 49 states quickly follow Arizona's lead, since nobody wants a wave of jobless illegals showing up at their door.

Expressing frustration with the lack of a federal immigration law overhaul, Gov. Janet Napolitano of Arizona signed a bill yesterday providing what are thought to be the toughest state sanctions in the country against employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants.

Ms. Napolitano, a Democrat, called the bill flawed and suggested that the Arizona Legislature reconvene to repair problems with it, but she nevertheless moved forward “because Congress has failed miserably,” she wrote in a statement.

The bill requires employers to verify the legal status of their employees. If they fail to do so, they risk having their business licenses suspended. A second offense could result in the “business death penalty,” a permanent revocation of the state business license, effectively preventing a business from operating in the state.

“We're dealing somewhat in uncharted territory right now – uncharted territory because of the inability of the Congress to act,” Napolitano said. “The states will take the lead, and Arizona will take the lead among the states.”

“Anyone worried about this bill ought to be worried about their hiring practices,” said Pearce, who called the measure “the toughest yet fairest employer-sanction law in the country.”
