(Illegal) Jobless finding new work on farms


"However, about 70% of the nation's 1.6 million farmworkers may be in the country illegally and present fake documents when applying, says Craig Regelbrugge of the American Nursery and Landscape Association. He says most of the people looking for farm work are probably illegal immigrants."

This is so publicly known - even by the American Nursery and Landscape Association. But since the State and Federal government REFUSES to enforce usage of the E-Verify program, this gets coverage as another news topic instead of being reported on as the illegal behavior it really is.

That's why good old Lupe and Joe Cruz are "working".....

We need to push harder for E-Verify usage

Illegal immigrants might get stimulus jobs, experts say

This is an update to a story I already commented on a week or two ago.

The "update" is that as part of the new stimulus package, the government all but guaranteed employers will not be using E-Verify to establish immigration status.

Why?

They don't have to. It's not a requirement for anyone - whether they are getting "stimulus" dollars or not.

Why did they use our tax dollars to develop this system and then not use it? No stimulus there! It's not as if employers - already benefiting from paying illegal immigrants in an illegal manner, have to pay to use the system. It's FREE!
