Saw this while randomly surfing...
From CBS11TV.com: Farmers Branch To Pay $470K In Immigration Fight...

Click here for the article as long as it lasts.

I guess it's because I'm not some asshole attorney but I don't understand how asking businesses to verify that they are doing business with legitimate people is unconstitutional.

It is no different than if Microsoft, AT&T, Sprint, JCPenney, or whatever other businesses were approached by someone or some other company wanting to do business with them. I think the mentioned companies and more would do a background check on this entity and make sure they are legit.

Personally, if an apartment, hotel, motel or inn is found to be housing illegal persons, couldn't this be sort of like aiding and abetting a criminal? Knowingly or unknowingly, there should be some consequence because the business should have made the attempt to discover if the occupant was legit or not. Now, I know they can't police everybody and some sort of profiling may occur but c'mon, isn't it always better to be safe than sorry?

I don't know. Maybe I'm just not as informed on the whole illegal immigrant or unconstitutionality thing but I do believe we have to start somewhere to get our cities, states and country back! As a country, we are too lax on a lot of things. I won't get started but if we chop a hand or a penis off, we wouldn't have as many thefts or rapes. We wouldn't be spending so much of my money, your money, all taxpayer's money on housing and feeding criminals. The odds on rehabilitating the BAD criminals is minuscule no matter what other people tell you. Crimes are like anything...if you do something and you like it you'll do it again. It just happens that crimes are illegal and it sucked that you got caught the first (second or more) time.

Let's make these people earn their keep. Give them a rifle, some ammo, some rations, a GPS up the ass, and drop them in Afghanistan or Iraq...tell them they are free as long as they fight the good fight. When it's all said and done, we'll see about their freedom back in the states. It's only fair if you ask me. They were given privileges...they dishonored them with their crime...they fight (in war) to get them back...and just maybe it will be enough to give them some honor and privileges back.

Whoops...didn't mean to rant and rave but that's what I do!
