HELLO, HELLO….. Anyone home? This is making me crazy, are we going to be a complete sanctuary state? Arizona and Oklahoma passed Laws in their states and illegals are leaving there in droves. It is the RIGHT thing to do. Are they all flocking to New York now? Most likely, come and suck off our system, Albany will cater to your every need, welfare, food stamps, healthcare and don’t forget to bring your whole family with you, we will pay for them too.
The Suffolk bill would take licenses from contractors who hired undocumented workers. “If that bill passes, it’s going to be bad for the economy,” especially small-business owners that rely on the labor,
LI immigrant groups rally for rights in Albany — Newsday.com
ALBANY - A thousand immigrants from across the state, including dozens from Long Island, descended on the Capitol yesterday, demanding translators in hospitals, better work conditions and English as a second language classes.
The Long Islanders made the trek as part of an annual Immigrants’ Day of Action here, but specifically they are concerned about a bill in the Suffolk County Legislature that would require contractors to prove their workers are not illegal immigrants.
Among the LI groups represented were the Catholic Charities/Diocese of Rockville Centre and the Long Island Immigrant Alliance in Amityville. A wide variety of immigrant groups - the Haitian Americans United for Progress, Korean Senior Society and Centro Hispano - were also among the more than 60 organizations.
“They’re coming here with a sense of urgency,” Chung-Wha Hong, the New York Immigration Coalition executive director, said of the Long Island contingent. “The legislation is aimed at taking them down.”
The Suffolk bill would take licenses from contractors who hired undocumented workers. “If that bill passes, it’s going to be bad for the economy,” especially small-business owners that rely on the labor, said Matilda Parada, of Farmingdale, who came to lobby against the effort.
“Anti-immigrant forces were greatly emboldened by what happened last year with the failure of immigration reform and defeat of licenses for immigrants,” said Patrick Young, director of the Central American Refugee Center in Hempstead. “They began mobilizing around anti-immigration bills in Suffolk County and elsewhere.”
Polls last year showed 75 percent of New Yorkers opposed Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s plan to provide drivers licenses to undocumented immigrants.

Like I said before. Don’t bother with the illegals. Hit the employers. Make them pay and the problem will disappear.
And that is exactly what they did in OK and AZ.
In some cases the first step is to cut off the head. By going after the employers does just that.
For 6 years I framed house and apartment complexes in Arizona, the last two years I couldn’t. The illegals were allowed to take the trade over by the employers, the big construction companies pushed us right out of the picture. We could simply not survive on the pay we were forced to accept. I chose not to accept pay below what the work was worth. I then went back to another trade and that was being a mechanic. Did that and decided to leave the rat race of Tucson.
When homes are described as lowest price per square foot, look at what the builders are paying the contractors and carpenters. That is where they pay the lowest.
