Immigration in Dodge City

[lurker]

I've told some of my Mexican friends that they should send about half of their cousins back to Mexico so the US wage would go up.... which it would.

Bubba.. I did read that too.. I think 2 days is just as funny as 1 day. IS THAT REALLY ENOUGH TIME??? And.. how do they do transport them all back? Do they bring in trucks or busses? I cant imagine. Still cracks me up. Ive heard of them doing this.. and word gets out.. they go away for a little while ( hide) OR if they really do get deported, they come back within a few days. My next question is when they do go to Excel or High Plains and find all these illegeal people are those businesses fined or anything?!?

$10.00 per hour today would equal $3.30 in 1978 dollars.

One day what a joke. If the INS were serious about putting at least a dent in out illegal problem they would camp a city like dodge for weeks. This is nothing more than an attempt to make the public think they're doing something.

They need to first check each employee for a authentic green card and then make a list of all employees that didn't show up for work and pay them a visit.

I think it's probably more along the line of your previous post....

Yelp, they just announced that Japan will start importing beef again. That'll make the prices jump way up.

Wonder what'll happen to the workers....

There was an old song Thank God and Greyhound You’re Gone.
