video clip

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VvEdAiIuLw This video that I found on youtube.com brought another racial point in the workforce to my attention. I have been focusing my previous blogs all on the black communities issues in the workforce and completly forgot about the problem with illegal immigrants in the workforce. This country has a very large problem with illegal immigrants. This video shows thousands of legal and illegal immigrants protesting the new laws on immigration that would make them felans. The arguement against the new immigration laws is that the illegal immigrants can sneak into our country and join the workforce but if caught they will be conficted of a felony under these new laws. These illegal immigrants are taken advantage of in the workforce. People hire them because they are illegal immigrants and will work for very little, due to the fact that they have no other choice. This takes jobs away from lower class Americans as well as hurts the immigrants. We need to ask ourselves if it is okay for them to work in this country illegaly and be prosicuted as a felon if caught? I feel that the answer is simple; it is wrong that they can get jobs in this country and then be prosicuted. It should be that they cannot work hear if they are illegal or that if they work here they cannot be prosicuted.
