Since the old laws weren't enforced are we expected to believe that the new ones will be?

From the looks of things on this thread a whole bunch of minds are thinking alike. I'm late to the show.

I know - I'm a natural born American citizen, very fair (I'm 1/2 Irish!) with blonde hair and green eyes, and I had to prove I was a legal citizen with 2 forms of ID for my last job at a hospital. I mean, talk about hoops! To think that an obvious Hispanic who can't even speak the language doesn't have to do the same...makes my blood boil!

The MSM is misrepresenting this. The politicspeak was intentionally misleading. What the politicians voted on and were saying is that it's not just fine to have illegal workers, but it's double fine with them.

"This is probably the single most important thing we can do in terms of reducing the inflow of undocumented workers, making sure we can enforce in a systematic way rules governing who gets hired," said Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill. If he's for it there must be something wrong with this amendment.

What a JOKE.......illegal employers will simply change crews every 17 months, without worry.
What's up that it takes 18 MONTHS to ""SIMPLY"" dial an 800 phone number ??

"An employer using the system simply calls an 800 number, provides the name and the Social Security number or the alien ID number, as presented by the new hire, "
(just ANOTHER loophole in law to benefit illegals & their illegal employers)

At this point the Senate needs to just pass anything and get it to committee then let the House kill the bill along with "The Fence" if they want to.

Also they are passing language that essentially exempts employer's from any liability for hiring illegals. And by the way, are they really planning to do any enforcement?
Frankly the fine doesn't need to be any larger. The enforcement effort needs to be larger.
