McCaskill: Employers who hire illegals should pay


Democratic Senatorial candidate Claire McCaskill tackled the immigration headon during a campaign stop in Springfield Thursday, saying employers who hire illegals should have to pay.

"We need tougher border security. We need to prosecute illegal immigrants," McCaskill said as she stood before the federal courthouse.

"But we also need to attack the problem at the source, a true crackdown on the corporations ... that employ these workers for cheap labor," she said.

If illegal immigrants don't have jobs, they won't have any reason to stay in the U.S., McCaskill said.

    It's proven to work- fine, jail businesses who hire illegals. The illegal aliens will be forced to move on to find work. If all the states work together, the illegals will move on to Canada or go back down South.

    Even if the liberal states like NY continue to harbor illegals, they will eventually be overtaken by the financial burden and will have to act.
