House Blocks Effort to Bar Illegals from “Stimulus” Jobs

A Semi-News/Semi-Satire from AzConservative ^ | 13 June 2009 | John Semmens

Two Republican-sponsored amendments to a FY 2010 appropriations bill were rejected by the Democratic majority. The amendments would have required firms bidding on federal aid projects to verify whether persons hired for the work were legal residents of the United States.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) characterized the amendments as “partisan and racist.” “We need to get people working as quickly as possible if we are to get the economy back on track,” Pelosi said. “Demanding that prospective jobholders provide proof of legal residency would only add bureaucratic delay to the process and unfairly burden a non-English speaking minority, which, I might add, is a key Democratic constituency.”

I swallowed the bait. I'm glad I reread it before hitting post the first time.

Getting hard to tell the difference, isn't it?

Nearly 2 million more jobs lost since OBAMAFUHRER took office. And they don’t apparently give a rats posterior if citizen are deprived of jobs?

Oh, they never did, did they? NEVER MIND!

[outhousepatrol]

Got me too!.. Thin line between fact and fiction. Especially when rats are involved. D-CON all the SOB’s!

Oh John, You bad boy!

She would - the wench. Peloozi doesn't give a rip about enforcing the law or holding people accountable. What I really don't get - are they trying to bail out the illegals too?

Thanks for that John, but actually I think that dumb you-know-what would actually say something along those lines.

[Frantzie]

This is not semi-satire it is true. Your vanities are tiring.

[Frantzie]

Read the most recent bill. 3 House vermin have blocked any thing prohibiting illegal aliens from getting stimulus jobs. Consider posting links to real news stories. This is just disinformation/vanities that is not funny.

Pelosi is protecting her right to hire Mexican serfs at below market wages in her husbands restaurants and vinyards.

[tdscpa]

I see the hook and the line. Where the hell is the sinker.

[Irish Eyes]

I would like to say this is unbelievable, but with this group I can not say that. We need to make it our mission to get rid of these dems.
