QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 08:21 PM) Bingo. Why would a small restaurant spend a s***load of money to find out if their busboy's paperwork is legit. It'll never happen. why would it cost a "s***load" of money? It shouldn't and it won't. Running background checks are cheap, running employment information would be fairly easy and inexpensive.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 08:18 PM) The system has to be inexpensive for the employer to use. It can't take weeks or even days in most cases. At the low end of the employment process spending hundreds or thousands of dollars per employee, to hire 100 temporary workers, doesn't work. It should be inexpensive for employers to use, I agree. A day or maybe week waiting peroid may be something employers will have to be prepared for.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 06:40 PM) Such a system already exists.......... It will work as a system, even as a voluntary one, only if there is a major government enforcement effort tied to it. In other words, the government can't make deals with the nation's largest employer allowing that employer about a 15 day warning before any inspections for illegal workers take place just because that employer happens to give some nice campaign contributions. sounds good to me. clean the system up and enforce labor laws.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 04:17 PM) The coach angle is a wildcard in all this. By resigning, didn't it seem like he believed her as well? Over his players? Or now, what seems more plausible to me, is the University forced him out. He also could have resigned to avoid the media attention. I know I wouldn't want to deal with all that nonsense.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 04:12 PM) And I agree with Nuke and Rex, but knowingly is a hard term to prosecute. i don't think so set up a system where an employer checks the status of a certain individuals information. aka, have it possible to detect false information, computer checks and so on. i'm not accepting stupidity or ignorance as an excuse for illegal operations. like i've said all along, if illegal immigrants can't get jobs in the US they'll stop coming in illegaly.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 02:28 PM) Well from here and elsewhere, it is the most conservative that have spouted off ideas like expelling them. The conservative talk show hosts have spoken that Bush is wrong. It certainly isn't the Dems who are talking expulsion. Does anyone have any idea how remote and long our borders are? How are we going to pay for the ultra tight border? To stop undocumented workers? What a waste of money. But of course the usual GOP plan would be to cut taxes and then we'd be able to pay for that. Well, if you want to claim the far right of the GOP as the GOP standard, I can definately counter with some of the loony toons the Dems have. Na, lets not get into that. You know what, we can't just let everyone in the country that wants to come here. There is NO first world country that has that kind of immigration policy (there is a good reason for that). Even the most liberal European countries have stricter immigration policies than the US. The border can be much more secure, if some of the tax cuts need to be repealed thats fine with me. I don't have that much of a problem with setting up something where people that are here working can pay back taxes, fines and work on becoming citizens. However, this has to be it. Reagan already gave amnesty in the 80's and it encouraged more illegal immigration. After this last "amnesty" deal we have to end this. If you hire illegals you will be fined severly and if you hire them, knowing they are illegal, you should be criminally prosecuted.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 01:48 PM) Well go ahead and expell all of them, I'm certain we will find 12,000,000 people to take their place. Dumb and short sighted, but if that's what the GOP wants. :headshake you keep insisting that is what the GOP wants, but you're wrong. what does the president want? what do most of the GOP want?

he GAWN! SOX WIN!

uh oh

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 02:02 PM) Hawk needs to quit talking about the ball being juiced. The only way to get him not to mention it would be for the Sox to hit a few more homers. haha

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 01:36 PM) Billy Koch..Never Forget.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 01:33 PM) I wonder if the Detroit pitcher is related to the guy who used to sell toupees. If he is, maybe he can get Paulie one. ^^^

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 01:29 PM) The guy hits 40-100 two years in a row, and still gets no respect. trade him.

PAULIE!

i know Iguchi is playing OK, but we should still probably trade him

yes!

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 01:21 PM) He can't be traded anyway. His no trade lasts the season. details, schmetails trade him! NOW!

haha, you guys seriously want to trade Garland after 2 bad outings?
