Editorial- Broken in USA

It seems a bill has given immigration the right and power to deprive 1,800 people of their jobs. The Obama administation has led to he firing of 1,800 employes of American Apparel Factory. Many illegal immigrants were found to be working at this business. The US Immigration has left them jobless and without an opportunity to legalize their residency. The author discusses how this is a way for the government to seem tough. They have many targets of businesses who hire illegal immigrants in order to exploit them. This is not the case with American Apparel, the author says. Employes there get paid 10 to 12 dollars an hour, which is actually good pay.

I believe this bill has given US Immigration to much power. "crackdowns" should have some sort of benefit to either party. In this case people are simply out of jobs, and 1,800 tax payers are put out of jobs and financial security.
