Bump.

Good news. Every state needs to do this. (The Federal government is no help). Thanks for the ping.

And it's not exactly an incentive for co-workers to blow the whistle, either. Perhaps a better idea would be a public shaming, at least for the first 2 or 3 times, before lowering the boom that hard.

He drew support from Rep. Olivia Cajero Bedford, D-Tucson. She said the problem isn't companies being presented with false documents but firms that never bother checking legal residency at all. Rep. Bill Konopnicki, R-Safford, voted against the bill, calling it "a very punitive, unnecessary measure."

Are these the only two party crossovers on this? Anybody?

...Phoenix car dealer Rusty Childress...

I guess down in arid Arizona, a car dealer named Rusty is not considered a problem.

Good catch. Actually, it's the Childress that matters. Biddulph, O'Reilly, Rudolph, Grubb, Luke, Sanderson, and Click are the big names in the car business in Phoenix and Tucson.

Wow, they might find out that Americans really DO want to do those jobs... What will George W. Bush say then?

they'll probably riot in the streets demanding their "right" to work.

Then they'll all be in one spot where they can be easily identified.

This is the solution. Fine businesses that break the law. The fines will cover the additional enforcement costs.

The illegals will go home. Businesses will hire American workers at a decent wage.

This is also the answer for idiot bush apologists like michael medved who cry "what are we going to do, round them up and put them in concentration camps!?"

No this is 180 degrees back-ashwards. Destroy companies who hire people to do work, because they don't have the wherewithal to do the job the INS refuses to do. Yet, make it illegal for government workers TO EVEN ASK if people receiving free medical care, housing, food, college degrees etc. are in this country legally.

Get a grip here people. Hiring someone to do work is not the problem. It is free government services that attract the destitute here like flies to honey.

Not exactly. It hardened a lot of conservatives who are now active RINO hunters.
