[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 39591, member: 126"] Re: Gibson raided I am not a fan of big government, but this seems to be a job uniquely within their responsibility, i.e. securing our borders. They have failed miserably to fund/enforce the legislation they passed the last time they "fixed" this, and now refuse to responsibly address the consequences of that failure. There are multiple self-interests served by some compromise (business needs the cheap labor, and politicians are jockeying to curry the favor of these probable future voters, and sympathetic legal citizens who identify with them). We have some responsibility to not knowingly employ illegal aliens, but I don't know how to determine who is illegal just from looking at them or talking to them, while I'm sure I encounter some at the food market and around, I am a concerned citizen but i am not going to try to police illegals I think I see in Walmart. The "see something, say something" program is more targeted at detecting terrorist activity, than day laborers, so adding noise into that information channel could be counter productive for our safety. From the DHS website "Only reports that document behavior reasonably indicative of criminal activity related to terrorism will be shared with federal partners.". If I see criminal behavior I'll report it to the local police, not DHS. JR [/QUOTE]
