[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am "liberal" and I do not hire anyone who does not speak English and who does not seem to be here legally. Problem mostly solved.

If "conservatives" would also hire people who speak English, much of the illegal immigration problem would go away. And, some of the job problems as well. [/quote]
+1  Go for the source.  Cut the demand, and you will see the supply die off.  But, you can bet it's the R business owners who don't want to see higher wages if the illegal immigrants disappear.

In the case of illegal immigrant workers, Rs and Dems are on the same side because both sides benefit. [u] So, to OP, you really need to change your Title to read "R business owners and Liberals.[/u]."

[quote][b]Texas leaders will continue going easy on those who avail themselves of low-cost undocumented immigrant labor — particularly in agriculture, construction, janitorial services and the leisure and hospitality industry.

The reason is simple: Business interests rely on undocumented immigrant workers, while pro-immigrant activists fight to protect the labor rights of those facing abuse and exploitation. When the Chamber of Commerce and the American Civil Liberties Union are on the same side of an issue at the Capitol, they’re hard to beat.

“We know what an important part immigrant labor plays in Texas, and to suddenly wipe out large sectors ... would have a devastating impact on the Texas economy,” said Bill Hammond, head of the influential Texas Association of Business, the state’s top business advocacy group. [b]“We need immigrant labor to do those tasks where not enough Americans will.”[/b]

[b]The left-right convergence — bringing businessmen and liberal immigration activists together — has been key in blocking legislation that would make life more difficult for undocumented immigrants in Texas[/b], said Bill Beardall, executive director of the Equal Justice Center, a nonprofit law firm that advocates for immigrants and other low-wage workers in Austin.
