This cuts right to the chase, doesn't it?
Some businesses, such as fast-food giant McDonald's, have warned that a mass walkout could impact their ability to provide services.That prompted Hostettler, R-Ind., to write to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency, suggesting that it "look into the hiring practices of McDonald's and other such places of employment that are temporarily closing due to lack of workers on the day of the boycott."Hostettler, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on Immigration, Border Security, and Claims, added that: "If McDonald's is concerned that they might not have enough workers to fulfill current production, it follows that many of these workers might be illegal aliens who will be boycotting their jobs that day."
Nobody hires illegal aliens and, presto, no illegal-alien problem.

Oh God, I have a new hero: Congressman Hostettler, I love ya, baby!
I think the timing and the publicity of Hostettler's remarks show that he's more interested in chilling pro-immigrant demonstrations than cracking down on employers. He could just as easily have made the suggestion to law enforcement officials quietly, thereby increasing the chance that they would be able to catch the offending employers unaware.

Is there a referendum on tomorrow's ballot for the person (or agency) who should get this week's "DUH!" award???
