Well said! I agree with your statement that illegal immigrants are not "stealing" jobs from Texans. Many of the lower paying jobs such as gardening, housekeeping, and child care are performed by immigrants at salaries "Native-born" Americans refuse. The Texas legislatures are proposing fines to employers for higher paying jobs. I think this is an attempt to slow down illegal immigrants, forcing them into lower paying jobs and giving Native Americans a chance for these more profitable positions.
Unfortunately, many Americans do not wish careers in carpentery, tiling, and roadbuilding. Many Americans prefer "white-collar" jobs preventing the skilled laborers from these jobs will leave a vacuum in the workforce. I think $10,000 and two years in jail is too strict of a punishment for a "crime" that brings employment and revenue to our state. This bill would discourage employers who are trying to bring skilled artisans to our homes.
