Alabamans can stop congratulating themselves. It will tossed out. Why does anyone think Alabama will succeed where California, Pennsylvania and Arizona have all failed?
Um, that law is aimed at AMERICAN CITIZENS. Really? Americans are the problem, not millions of illegal aliens?
So it’s fine to take a job if you’re here illegally — it’s fine to BE here illegally — relax, no one’s going after you — but if you’re an American doing the actual hiring... well, you’re in big trouble, buddy.
The Federal Immigration Authorities and police of all stripes don’t verify whether people are here legally, but employers have to?
Yeah, this decision will fix the problem. Groundbreaking.
Please check back on FR after the Alabama laws that actually target illegal aliens are thrown out so I can laugh at you some more.
LOL! You’re a real piece of work.
Don’t give me that poor employer line. The majority of employers who use illegals know or suspect it and are doing it for personal gain.
E-Verify is free and easy and it’s a fed program.
You can be as sarcastic as you want to be but if the employer takes a few minutes to check it puts the illegal out of work.
I’ve got no problem with E-verify. At least it’s something.
But I am pointing out the absurdity that the POLICE are forbidden to apprehend and deport illegal aliens, even if they “know or suspect it,” but CITIZENS will be prosecuted if they do not act on what they “know or suspect.” Do you think this is rational?
Furthermore, any laws that actually address the clear and present danger of millions of foreign nationals squatting in this country have been consistently thrown out by Federal judges. We found that out here in California. So did Arizona and Pennsylvania. Now Alabama is in the batter’s circle. I would love to be proved wrong, but I don’t think I will be. I wish them luck.
Scoop Jackson was one of the last conservative, pro-American Democrats.
"As a Cold War anti-Communist Democrat, Jackson's political philosophies and positions have been cited as an influence on a number of key figures associated with neoconservatism, including Paul Wolfowitz and Richard Perle.[1] The Henry Jackson Society is named in his honor. "
I’m happy to hear you don’t have a problem with E-verify.
I believe we have to take everything we can get in the fight against illegals.
I understand the frustration with the feds not doing much of anything for a lot of years. Obama and Napolitano are flat out for open borders and amnesty now and though I was a supporter of Bush he did not take a conservative stand against illegals.
Some states are trying to do something and there’s no way I’m going to be pessemistic about those efforts.
The fight for AZ 1070 isn’t over, Brewer just announced she’s going to SCOTUS with it. I have no idea what will happen but I’m sure not going to express doom and gloom.
Same for the new AL law and some pretty in the know experts are predicting it’ll stand, I hope they’re right.
We’re on the same side in this illegals thing, let’s fight it together.
Bump for Scoop Jackson, a very good man!
“Makes a person wonder if this isnt the pot calling the kettle black.”
It probably is. It’s also probably a cast iron pot and a bronze kettle.
Agreed.
Ping!
You hit on it there.
For those leftists orgs to fight this law is the height of racism. Racism against the race of every citizen of the USA.
For any organization to support illegal insurgent criminal invading colonists (and fight for them to stay in this country when they have no right to) should be deemed a treasonous act.
They should be put on trial, get their guilty verdict, and then punished with the appropriate punishment. We know what that is for traitors.
Poverty must be good for business.
The fact you’re a right-leaning white male...makes you racist....haha
In fact only when you denounce yourself completely are you somewhat acceptable liberal-wise. Make sure you don’t have children and abort those you make...because that’s the true goal. Then make sure you pay everyone back for something that didn’t even remotely happen in your generation...because after all you’re still responsible.
And make sure to cater to mediocrity and relativism. Because their opinion on how to run a government is just as good, even if they came from a failed country.
Here is the problem with E-Verify:
Good for Alabama. Look for the Obama Administration to sue it.
poverty=cheap labor
Business loves it...hell, once they had it for free. That’s where I’m for nationalism and regulation. Regulate the amount of people coming in, where they come from and review the character of their culture. Young, educated/hardworking and from countries that actually have character and direction. All others will be mildly invited, so we don’t dent the character of America by inviting more idiots.
The whole idea of free-market/open border democracy is a joke. It’s a relativist dream...along with their business allies.
They’ll get sued if they continue on this path and be forced to release the information. And I think Obama won’t make it another four years in office.
It most definitely is for the SPLC, we'll see if they continue on their roll defending illegals, I doubt it.
