Do you support Arizona's tough new law on illegal immigration?


Recommended Posts

Absolutely. Arizona's law is no different than the federal law. Arizona was just forced to enact their own laws to enforce because the pansy federal government isn't doing one of the biggest jobs they are supposed to do (enforce the borders and protect their citizens)

My only problem with this whole thing is...well, always will be.... how is it that they don't want to be citizens.... it seems they only want the benifit of a job and health care... Is it so hard to do what was done in the early 1900's... and become a citizen??

 

I don't think it's a matter of cheap labor.. oh sure, they're are circumstances that a cheaper labor force would make a difference, such as in an orchard or picking lettuce...stuff like that.

 

But, really, isn't it just wrong to want to get to the USA so you can earn a living and run back to your family on the other side of the border...??

 

That's the part that bugs me.... become a citizen, earn a living, pay taxes... how hard can that be.

 

I probably don't understand it... because I'm not a part of it... but from my view... Get legal...

      I recently spoke with a friend of mine who owns a large general repair shop in the Midwest. His father founded the business in 1975. He was telling me that although he’s busy, he’s also very frustrated. When I probed him more about his frustrations, he said that it’s hard to find qualified technicians. My friend employs four technicians and is looking to hire two more. I then asked him, “How long does a technician last working for you.” He looked puzzled and replied, “I never really thought about that, but I can tell that except for one tech, most technicians don’t last working for me longer than a few years.”
      Judging from personal experience as a shop owner and from what I know about the auto repair industry, I can tell you that other than a few exceptions, the turnover rate for technicians in our industry is too high. This makes me think, do we have a technician shortage or a retention problem? Have we done the best we can over the decades to provide great pay plans, benefits packages, great work environments, and the right culture to ensure that the techs we have stay with us?
      Finding and hiring qualified automotive technicians is not a new phenomenon. This problem has been around for as long as I can remember. While we do need to attract people to our industry and provide the necessary training and mentorship, we also need to focus on retention. Having a revolving door and needing to hire techs every few years or so costs your company money. Big money! And that revolving door may be a sign of an even bigger issue: poor leadership, and poor employee management skills.
      Here’s one more thing to consider, for the most part, technicians don’t leave one job to start a new career, they leave one shop as a technician to become a technician at another shop. The reasons why they leave can be debated, but there is one fact that we cannot deny, people don’t quit the company they work for, they usually leave because of the boss or manager they work for.
      Put yourselves in the shoes of your employees. Do you have a workplace that communicates, “We appreciate you and want you to stay!”
