Illegal aliens are taking jobs..... - 2009-03-19 11:06:42
CASA of Maryland is doing all they can to keep illegal aliens employed in Maryland. Employers who are hiring them need to be heavily fined in order to end this madness. Illegals are replacing legal citizens because they are willing to work for well below minimum wage, while the employers pocket all the financial gains. We need to end driver's licenses for illegals in Maryland, we need to punish and fine employers who hire illegals, we need to subpoena the records of CASA and determine which companies are hiring these illegals, and we need to stand up for the legal, taxpaying citizens of Maryland who are losing jobs to illegal aliens. What a shame that with the unfortunate state of the economy that our tax dollars are being used to fund CASA of Maryland instead of assisting the legal, taxpaying citizens who are struggling to make ends meet.
