That is not what this bill is ab~out. My colleague says. well. the way to resolve the situation in New Bedford. MA. is to make the illegal immigrants working there legal. Just describe them as legal. Would that be the way you would handle it in New Orleans. LA. to say. well. the people who came in to take Sams job should be deemed legal? I dont think so. Why not punish the employer for abusing the rights of these immigrant workeis and why not restore those jobs to those who were the victims of the hurricane in the first place? Is the principle here that we describe the problem as mistreatment of workers who are illegal immigrants. and therefore what we will do is deem them legal to hold those jobs and therefore expect some other kind of behavior by the employer? I dont think so. So that is a specious argument. frankly.
