Someone who is selling you a service can request any information they want as a condition of the sale. If the electric company chooses to ONLY sell electricity to citizens or legal aliens (for whatever reason) then the customer has to prove they are a citizen or legal alien OR find another source of electricity
I have a better idea: When you determine that an illegal lives in a house, arrest and deport them.
Voila!
Dear Above My Pay Grade,
Give me a break. My parents emigrated from Ireland back in the 20s. LEGALLY!!!!! Got the difference? You wouldn’t, by any chance, be one of those “usefull idiots”, would you?

That is, of course, what SHOULD happen. The problem is that you need Federal cooperation to get that done. If we can gently encourage hoards of illegals to self deport, by cutting off their lights and air conditioning, it will speed up the process and make the Federal government’s job much easier. It will also be more cost effective.
I am for the “all of the above” approach to getting illegal aliens out of the country.

Um, you seem to have ignored my “/sarc” (as in “sarcasm”) tag.
The left will undoubtedly label Wong “anti-immigrant” for wanting to crack down on illegals. I was pointing out that the fact that his parents were immigrants (I assume legel ones) will help protect him from that false charge.
And by the way, how dare you call me “usefull”! :-)
I like the way this guy thinks! Great idea and I approve. Cut ‘em off!
I stand behind this idea, plus would add that we need to cut all services from illegals, welfare, ERs, Schools, etc.
You didn’t see the huge /SAR tag on his post? Get some glasses, you apparently need them!
Besides, it would be inhumane to cut of the power during the summer.
Um..really..why? My husband and I both work our butts off full time, and live in an old house with no air conditioning. We’re not dead..what’s the problem here??

I need to add..we live in Iowa, where summers get pretty brutal.
Oh, okay... We ask employers to prove someone is in the country legally?
Exactly how does that work? I hand you and I-9 and you provide I.D. from Columns A&B, if you haven’t I.D. in Column in column B, see column C.
This info is never sent to anyone, ever. It sits there in a file awaiting some government demand to see it, which never comes.
A company has right to determine ability to pay and creditworthiness but no imprimatur exists for demanding ones citizenship status.
Besides, what hack idiot at a company could determine the difference between all the I.D.’s out there.
I might provide an expired passport which of course would be rejected. Even though the Federal Government has supposedly done a background check on me and proclaimed me a bona fide American.
Still others, such as certain felons and parolee’s are prevented from obtaining a passport.
Most Americans wouldn’t pay the $75 dollar fee, wait for hours or days a passport office or the usual 6-8 weeks to obtain either.
Then there is the question of work visa status and determining the various classes of documentation associated the that.
Hand your documents to a utility? Go to Olivera street, in L.A. give someone $50 bucks and now you have a SS#, which should indicate you are an American.
Now the bigger leap comes when the government demands the records of suspects of some crime, from the utility and their premise is Patriot Act II.
No one has any recourse or voice under PA II and the utility is very, very obligated to comply with the demand from a PA II enforcer.
Additionally, there are many people who are citizens of another country and domicile here in the U.S. part of the year.
I have 4 or 5 friends, who are citizens of another country and are wealthy enough to live where ever they please throughout the year. In fact, variously, they have homes in CA, FL, Mexico, Chile, Ecuador, Virgin Islands, Caymans, Greece, England, etc.
These are all blue eyed pasty face guys. You would demand they prove they are an American? LOL they would simply vacation or live elsewhere.
This goes for even more of my friends, who are most definitely American and have homes all over the United States and world.
Documentation that I am an American. I would say to the state “you are cracked and I am selling my home”.
“Loved it here until you became part of the Nationalist Social Party but, call me when you get over this “proof” thing and want to act like you are a part of the government”.
“Sorry I won’t be using your limo services, employing your gardners, housekeepers, eating at your restaurants and generally spending my money in your state”.
Later, Tater....
Would we demand
Tell me about it and with humidity.
Ugh!
Pretty state though.
Yes! This is a great idea.
Also cut the Arizona power and water to all the sanctuary cities and states and the ones that boycott AZ.
‘Don’t stop there...cut the power to the homes of the sponsers/supporters/enablers of invaders. Let’s see...where do those in Congre$$ live? Cut their power in many way$. Curb all unnece$$ary $pending. Move them out of our house and ridicule them on the way out. Remember November.”
Very good idea!
IOW,
People did without air conditioning for thousands of years.
I don't think any of my relatives had air conditioning until the 1950’s.
The richest person on Earth didn't have air conditioning in the 1700’s.
Probably the illegal aliens didn't have electricity and air in their homes in the old country.
Ping!
