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!

FUBAR - New definition for a new era

Federal Undertaking (to) Bankrupt All Responsible (people)


This relates to all and any of us taxpayers who:

  • Did not refinance - despite sky high appraisals and industry "inducements"
  • Did not "cash out" the roof from our homes
  • Did not obligate ourselves to high interest consumer debt with the "free" proceeds
  • Are now forced to pay the same price as those who did


Anyone else? Open to suggestions...
