YEEEEEEHAAAAAAW!!!

A small step. But in the right direction for a change. A shame it's voluntary.

Well spank my ass and call me Charlie! (Sorry, South Park.) Maybe ol' W has a few more up his sleeve for that POS Vincente Fox in the future. I sure hope so. I've been really pissed off about W's apparent stance on immigration so far, and I live in VA where the problem is just starting to show up (SW VA). We still need to be moving faster on the border issue and deportations.

But the program is voluntary.

This is nothing but LOOK GOOD legislation. Washington is trying to convince the American worker that they're on our side. What a joke! Until there is MANDATORY adherence and mandatory JAILTIME for any employer who hires aliens, nothing will be done.

ummm, how good has this law worked so far??

We have been doing this for years already!!

[Joe Hadenuf]

But the program is voluntary.

Pathetic......

Like the one-off Walmart raid, this is a false bone thrown to whatever remains of his base, and is a distraction from next year's amnesty

Its is COMPLETLY Voluntary act. Employers are under zero obligation to participate.

S. 1685, the Basic Pilot Extension Act of 2003, was signed by President Bush on December 3, 2003.

It will extend for five years the workplace employment eligibility authorization pilot programs created in 1996. It will also expand the pilot programs from the original five states to all 50 states. Thus, all employers in the United States will have the option of participating, although the program would remain voluntary.
