Business in this country likes cheap labor, and they will lie, cheat, and turn on the American people to get it.

    As a more or less impartial observer, (Canadian), I agree with you on all points.

    On of the more effective thing that the US Goverment could do would be to make it a crime for an employer to hire a worker without proof of legal residency, and enforce this on employers large and small. How come we don't hear much about this -- I think your paragraph above explains the reason in full. :sad:

    I always thought that small business was 20 employees or less. However I believe that everyones standards of small business are very different.
