WaPo is on the side of business, providing it hires illegals!
On the eve of “Big Brother” Barry’s acceptance speech (or Greek tragedy),his D.C. based Ministry Of Truth (The Washington Post) found time to once again lament the plight of illegal aliens and their criminal employers. I suppose it is in the spirit of unity inspired by their Communist candidate that The Post is now on the side of business, the evil most closely associated with the Barack “Born Alive, Let Them Die” Obama’s (and Uncle Karl’s) most hated entity, capitalism! “Hope” for “change” does exist! If the D.C. rag can find it in its heart to take the side of the capitalist pigs, anything is possible! Maybe St. Barack can power all our cars without any sort of fuel.
Of course the only reason D.C. ministry would defend a business is if it furthered one of the rag’s favorite issues, in this case, the defense of illegal immigration. The article headline warns, “Businesses Cite a Catch-22 After Miss. Immigration Raid.”
Major U.S. employers assailed the expanding crackdown, saying it creates a Catch-22. If businesses fail to enroll in E-Verify, they run the risk of a raid by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, business groups led by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce said. But if they sign up, they face added costs, labor disruptions and discrimination complaints — as well as the risk that flaws in the program won’t stop all illegal hiring or prevent government raids, they said.
“I think it’s a mistake on the part of a company to think that simply because they [enroll] that they are going to be protected from any kind of government audit or raid,” said Myles Gladstone, vice president of Miller & Long, of Bethesda, a major construction firm based in the Washington area.
Oh the horror, added costs! I wonder if the business that just had 600 illegal employees removed face any added costs now. I heard a report that a tip by a union rep or member led to the raid of Howard Industries and that workers cheered as the illegals were removed. How does that report gel with the notion that illegals are needed to do the jobs Americans won’t do?
The second part of the excerpt above is actually funny. How can a business owner be surprised that enrolling in a program is not enough, that it it might be necessary to actually meet the requirements? I suggest that the people Mr. Gladstone is referring to could be classified as morons, which would provide further explanation of WaPo taking their side.
In its only comment on the raid, Howard Industries released a statement saying: “Howard Industries runs every check allowed to ascertain the immigration status of all applicants for jobs. It is company policy that it hires only U.S. citizens and legal immigrants.”
Well as long as Howard states that it is their policy to follow the law, it is good enough for The Washington Post and should be good enough for the rest of us. I would like to suggest to Howard Industries and other criminal enterprises that they actually follow their policies or run the risk of being defended by The Washington Post, a low point for any decent institution.
