Economy: At least 300,000 of those stimulus jobs will go to illegal aliens who are likely to send that money home to their native countries. Just whose economy are we stimulating?
The stimulus package is supposed to stimulate the American economy and create American jobs, but missing from it are measures to guarantee that. As a result, say both the Heritage Foundation and the Center for Immigration Studies, hundreds of thousands of these jobs will go to illegal aliens, and much of the money they earn will not be spent here. The original House version included a provision requiring employers to check registration status with the E-Verify system before hiring. This provision was missing from the Senate bill and was not in the final version sent to President Obama.
The Obama administration has also delayed at least until May 21 a Bush administration executive order requiring federal contractors to use E-Verify. It was supposed to take effect in January.
Last Tuesday, 75 representatives of both parties sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Minority Leader John Boehner urging them "to protect taxpayers and legal workers by including these critical jobs protection provisions in any future economic recovery legislation."

Everyone knows undocumented workers are the only ones “shovel ready”. That is until they gain union membership.

“Stimulating Illegals” What a great idea! Give the illegals loads of Viagra and send them to the neighborhoods of the people who hire them! ;-)

"Me and Obama..." ? That image might have credibility if the grammar weren't so bad.

That image might have credibility if the grammar weren't so bad. That is the beauty of it because that is exactly the way Dingy Harry speaks.
