But once you raise the minimum wage. they are going to have to lay somebody off. and somebody is going to have to work harder because they cannot afford. like the government. to be operating in the redthey would go brokebecause they dont get to print their own money and create their own monetary system. I see here another article today. This is from Neil Munro of The Daily Caller: "Obama Quietly Adds 5.46 Million Foreigners to Economy." That should be great news for the economy. but since there havent been 5.46 million jobs created in this administration. that means that they are going to take over jobs and that Americans who emigrated legally are going to lose their jobs. When you tack on that you get a $3.000 bonus under ObamaCare if you hire somebody who came illegally and got one of these work permitsthey are not required to have ObamaCare. and so they dont have to provide health insurance. therefore. the companies dont have to pay the $3.000 penaltyit gives incentives to hire people who came illegally and got the work permits. Now. we had before our Judiciary Committee today some witnesses. and I greatly appreciated Chairman GOODLATTE for calling the hearing. It was very enlightening. We had a sheriff. a law professor. a couple of people who work on the immigration issue. I didnt realize until the testimony that. when released. about 50 percent of those people who have come here illegally and who have committed a crime commit another crime. I had somebody else explain it to me after the hearing. If you come here and if you have no respect for the law in the United States. is it any mystery that you are going to be more likely to disregard the criminal laws as you have the immigration laws? Fortunately. everybody doesnt see it that way who emigrates here illegally. but it is a problem. If you are a 21yearold store clerk that is just trying to make it. you are not making that much money. but you are trying to make it. you are working tough hours in a thankless job. and unbeknownst to you as a 21yearold store clerk. the Obama administrationHomeland Security has followed the lead of the President. They have not been deporting people that came illegally. committed crimes. like they should be. So unknown to you. the 21yearold store clerk. that man who has committed crimes before and has not been deported because this administration is not following up to the oath that was taken. you are about to have your life taken away from you by someone that should not even be in the country. I was with another Member of Congress today when staff came and notified him that one of their staff had been hit by another car. It was the fault of the other car. and the people in the other car got out. walked around. and then by the time the officer got there. they complained one of their group couldnt walk. couldnt use their legs.
