We were talking jobs and E-Verify not welfare. Of course you have to cut off everything and don’t forget they need to stop being allowed to enroll the kiddies in our free public school system.
Still E-Verify will go a long way toward keeping them out of the workplace. As long as that is what we use it for. Otherwise we will just keep the status quo which IMO is still better than legalizig them all and their trillion member extended families.
Its been great chatting about all this but the reality of the situation is that you have both parties salivating to legalize the illegals. Its quick, its easy and then they can all move on with their lives. So look for Boehner and his little axis of evil, Cantor, McCarthy and Ryan to push through an amnesty/immigration bill above the screams of all of us.
“Of course you have to cut off everything”
So why aren’t we cutting off welfare? All E-Verify does is require employers to report back to good ol’ Eric Holder just whom they are hiring and why.
It’s got nothing to do with ‘self-deportation’ and everything to do with expansion of federal government control over the hiring process.
How difficult is it as an employer to screen folks properly? It takes time, yes, but it’s just easy to punch in some buttons and have the machine tell you whether John Smith has a ‘green light’.
Do you not see how susceptible this system is to fraud? What happens when dear King Obama issues SS numbers to his pals? Will you be subject to a discrimination lawsuit for refusing to hire one of his pals who got a ‘green light’?
“So look for Boehner and his little axis of evil, Cantor, McCarthy and Ryan to push through an amnesty/immigration bill above the screams of all of us.”
Mandatory E-verify to prevent illegal immigration is like mandatory condom use to prevent pregnancy. Arguing that employers should not hire illegals ignores the question as to how they were able to get here in the first place.
