A frustrated Arizona lawmaker says he will push a proposal next year to give American workers the right to sue companies that fire them while keeping illegal immigrants on the payroll. Violators would have their state business licenses suspended.
Legislators don’t have the guts to do what needs to be done. So, they decide to write laws that allow the citizenry to clog up the court system with suits to do what law enforcement should be allowed to do in the first place.
Trial lawyers will be pleased. As will immigration lawyers.
Did you notice how our Congressman, Solomon Ortiz, voted on bills relating to driver’s license rules, asylum seekers and border walls as reported in the Caller-Times February 13, 2005 in the Roll Call column?
You might not be surprised to know he voted against requiring states to issue driver’s licenses only to legal aliens, against licenses containing machine-readable digital photos, against authorizing bail bondsmen to round up illegal aliens who have been ordered deported but who remain here, against making it more difficult for immigrants to obtain asylum in the U.S., and against allowing the Sec. of Homeland Security to override federal, state or local laws deemed to be an obstacle to the construction of security barriers along U.S. borders with Mexico and Canada.
He has been a busy boy trying to keep the court system free of these pesky little matters!

He has a history of opposing illegals–OTMs. That is, Other Than Mexicans. Beyond that he is for an open border.
He is no friend of the US, and a pitiful excuse for a congressman.

You know something has to be wrong when all the lawyers are happy.

Ruben Hinojosa of the 15th Dist, and Soloman Ortiz have both united long ago in the support of illegals. Both are Democrats and both understand the stance of turning a blind eye to unlawful border crossers will win the gratitude of their Districts and serve to keep them in their plush little seats forever.
Never mind the lofty human rights speeches, it’s all self serving interests to the point of criminal misconduct.
