Sentors Specter and Kennedy are both there.The industries that are pleading their case right now are the service industries.
The first panel was Mayors and police commissiobers.The unintended consequences of the house bill is a concern that if an undocumented worker is the victim of a crime they will not report it for fear of deportation.That is just one mentioned.The amusing thing to me is the service industries who pay the slave wages they do now.I can't wait to see what the new citizens who they now exploit demand as wages as citizens.DO they really think they can exploit them as citizens?Sooner or later they will have to address 11 million undocumented workers and when they do they can organize and demand the wages their work is worth.Just think Americans who can demand a real living wage and call 911 when they are crime victims?What will they think of next?The house bill that makes them felons will not only allow the status quo to remain as is but will permeate the exploitation that exists now in both wages and civil services.75% of the undocumented workers pay social secuirty already yet have no hope of ever collecting.Tha in itself is a common thread that binds us under the fiscal time bomb Bush has created.
