Our local paper reported on a House Judiciary Committee study that was =
issued Friday May 5.
Their analysis of six countries found that Switzerland, Egypt, Japan, =
Sweden, and Mexico all treated illegal entry and unlawful presence as a =
criminal offense. The first five of those will jail employers for three =
months to three years for hiring illegals. Of the six only Brazil allows =
illegals to work without criminal penalties.=20
 Here in the U. S. it is not a criminal offense for an illegal immigrant =
to be here, but it is a civil one.
Looks like we will be hearing a lot more on this subject before the next =
U. S. Presidential election.
