I Love Crazy Stuff Like This

But it is an exception included in the bill that is drawing attention. Those who hire unauthorized immigrants would be in violation of the law -- unless they are hiring a maid, a lawn caretaker or another houseworker. More . . . 


It doesn't even need a funny comment to make it funny.

Bob Perry will have his minions add "construction worker" to the list of exceptions, I gay-ron-tee.

Would underage sex slaves that are being exploited by Planned Parenthood that use tax payer money be exempt also?

Again big bro interferring with our lives. Why is it any of their business who I hire? Maybe I prefer the work illegals do. They seem to make better restaurant workers, ranchers, harvesters, houseworkers, construction workers, sanitation workers, landscapers - AND they even cost less.

Is building a single-family residence within the exception? If not, get ready for building costs to skyrocket. Not a house built in this state these days without them.

You do realize, the exception for domestics is so that private citizens/home owners do not get burned in the crackdown of commercial employers who hire illegal aliens, right?

What I find so ridiculous about the government going after people who employ illegal aliens is that an employer is not allowed to ask a potential employee if their documentation is legitimate nor is an employer allowed to fire an employee who provided bogus documentation. Think about it, an employee can be fired for lying about their education/experience but not for providing bogus identification documents.

Prosecuting employers, who have been duped by an illegal alien using bogus documentation, is tantamount to prosecuting a merchant for accepting a hot check.

The US government needs to stop pointing fingers and victimizing the people caught in the middle of this giant cluster fragging and adopt a VIABLE guest worker's program.

He should 11:38. Mexicans are the only good workers in that industry.

The US government is the biggest hypocrite when it comes to illegals.

The US goverment needs to secure our borders and quit playing catch and release with people whom have broken our laws.

If the people want to change those laws, then fine. But until that happens, do you job.

Annex Mexico. Call it Burritoland.

Those canadians are taking our jobs!

Seriously... I say why why not make the legislation fair and balanced... if you're going to make hiring "illegals" (wetbacks) an offense punishable by jail time, then there should be no exceptions! It'd be interesting to see how Southlake matrons would be affected

mzchief- the US government has a viable guest worker system, it's called a work permit, The Dutch dairyman around here on work permits are required to go home for 3 months a year in order to get another work permit. Why should mexicans be exempt from this law. Is it because lawmakers are happy to provide cheap labor to businesses at the expense of taxpayers?? I think so.
Your buiness owner bias is evident and blatant.
Granted the above mentioned dairyman employ some illegals, yet they are held to a higher standard.
America only seeks to deport the illegals best able to help Amerika.

Up north we pay for Americans to clean our house and mow our lawn...it cost more but we do it. Actually we don't. I live on a street with two dentist, two lawyers a guy who owns a construction company and one who is a stock broker. Guess how many maids and lawn workers work on this street. 1 maid for an elderly retired couple and my son does their yard. I hired a housekeeper once when I was overwhelmed and had a party.....cost me $175. I used to pay $50 in Texas, you people have no idea how good you have it....but you will continue to complain that illegals live in Texas.

Well ain't that freaking wrong. This protects the rich so they can still have their maids and gardners without penalty.
