The GOP to blame for border workers

Byron York’s recent column (The Immigration Dilemma, January 20) starts with an outright lie and goes down from there.

York writes that Republicans want to find a way to stop or drastically reduce the flow of undocumented workers. If that were the case, Republicans would stop hiring them in the first place and then cry from the rooftops for illegal employers to be held to the full weight of the law. After all, if illegal immigrants are such a threat to our sovereignty, then their employers must deserve severe punishment.

Have Republican politicians, donors or propaganda outlets called for zero tolerance for employers who break the law? Have any called for harsher sentences for these criminals?

Of course not. Nobody wants undocumented workers to come to America more than Republicans: they can use them, abuse them, and have them kicked out if they dare complain, while using their existence to cut wages and scare off Republican-voting rubies. .

The News-Gazette could investigate and name companies that hire undocumented workers, as well as local politicians who receive contributions from and protect these companies.

But that would only happen if Republicans really wanted undocumented workers gone.
