Very true. I heard a woman on the radio saying that her husband is a house painter for a living...and if he ever complains to his boss about his pay his boss just replies " deal with it, if you dont like it Ill just hire two mexicans for half the pay"...

*shrug* .. Of course the rethugs will try to claim that forcing these companies to pay real wages to their employees would destroy their business. But in my opinion, if you cant afford to pay your employees properly, you arent a good business person anyway.

If you think the only people exploiting the illegal alien market are Republicans, you should probably think again.

Eh of course not, I only referenced the rethugs because of the parties stance on business.

But republicans still suck the most
