Re: “What the GOP shouldn’t do in response to Obama’s immigration order,” Nov. 20 editorial.
I own and operate a business. Recently one of my employees came to me demanding to spend a large sum of my money illegally aiding and abetting criminals, and claimed that he shouldn’t suffer any repercussions. I explained that we have established rules and regulations against this kind of action.
He said he has a pen and a phone, and since this is what he wanted, it doesn’t matter about the rules or the law.
I asked him why I shouldn’t fire him. He replied that The Post suggested that such a response would be “draconian” and would “torpedo my chance to be more productive.”
Long story short: He wanted me to ask if you guys are hiring. (Fair warning: He’ll probably be wanting health coverage, too.)
