Publish the list of businesses that promote lawbreaking, so decent Americans can boycott and avoid them. Also they should be added to a list of businesses that will Never get a government contract.

I agree, no papers no work. And for business to hire these folks who havn't had their inoculations, etc... to serve food etc... is really not very responsible. If the federal goverment did its job and hired more borer patrol and kept a better eye on the border we would not have this problem. BUT......immigration is a normal thing in this country. It happens everyday. What is happening here is the far right wing, (The Klan and other racist groups) are useing this as a political tool to get their mesage of hate out to the public. The minute men in Arizona were first effected. They have shot several illegals trying to come accross the border. And the only reason this is on the rador screen is because of the presidential elections. If there was none, most people would go on with life. Before we jump on the band wagon, make a consciounes and educated dececision. Are we doing whats right for the country and our communities? Do we want to destroy families, like yours? Most people would say "Their not my family, I aint no mexican" Thats because they dont see past there nose. And donot understand. All they see is brown people who have different culture. These people want to deport anything that is not american. Wether your black, white, purple or what ever...we are all human beings. We all deserve to be treated humanely. I agree the illegal situation has to stop, it is messing and corrupting our system up. It can be fixed. But lets not treat these families like a bunch of rabid dogs. The ones who rape pillage and burn deserve to go to jail and get sent home with no option of comming back. But we got to do the right thing, the AMERICAN thing. Give these families a chance and let them pay tax's like the rest of us etc.....

Amen John61, it is time to take our country back! It is well known that the Chamber is backing illegal immigration 100% as always it's all about the money. The Federal government especially this administration has not enforced the immigration laws we all know that. Why do you think they walk around with that cocky attitude and protest with flags from other countries demanding rights their don't have...............We out number the politicians, 2008 is coming up it is time to take a stand working people we are stupid not to, let's stop being sheep!

If businesses have become addicted to cheap illegal labor, the solution is not to whine about how much it's going to hurt when they must cold-turkey, but to get into immigration rehab and start obeying the law. Ask Mitt Romney about his grounds crew if you need some advice.

The only reason the business would be against this bill is because they hire illegals.

I say hire an illegal alien, YOU get fined MEGA money and/or thrown in jail for 30 days.

Of course they want to fight this, how else are they going to get away with paying sub poverty wages. I say we go after the businesses with everything we have. If that doesn't work, boycott. It is about time that the American people get together and take back what is ours, this country. Big business does not own the American people. We should let them know that they are in business to serve us not them...It is time to get together and stop taking this crap from them and the leaders of this country who have been stepping on us for decades...But do we as Americans have the guts to do so, or are we going to continue to bow to them?

If what the federal government requires was working there would be no need for the state and local gov't to step up to the plate and address this problem.

We need a list of all the Businesses involved in this scam and send the iRS to check all their records, and that of their employee's because the bottom line is that they are all scum and we should never forget who they are, They are going to lose ,it's just a matter of time. Courts or no courts they will lose because the real Americans will never back down. Cheatham you and your pack will not be cheating the hard working Americans much longer.

Businesses are doing the logical (for them) thing: protecting cheap sources of labor... with no regard for the laws of the country. Total sellouts.

Why do businesses want to hire illegal aliens? So they can cheat on the taxes? So they can pay below-minimum wages? So they can avoid paying for any benefits? If they insist on hiring illegal aliens, shut 'em down and send the owners to jail - and send the illegal aliens back to their home country!

If the business can't survive without illegal aliens then they need to find another line of work or go to jail for violating the law!

Virginia businesses who want to hire illegal aliens so they won't have to pay an American a living wage don't deserve our patronage. Boycotting any business that hires illegal aliens isn't that hard to do. If enough of us do that, it will not matter anymore because these businesses will be out of business.
