Document verification provisions of immigration bills

Excerpts on fake documents from President Bush's May 15 national address on immigration reform:

"Comprehensive immigration reform must include a better system for verifying documents and work eligibility. A key part of that system should be a new identification card for every legal foreign worker. This card should use biometric technology, such as digital fingerprints, to make it tamperproof. A tamperproof card would help us enforce the law and leave employers with no excuse for violating it."

- Requires employers and subcontractors to use an electronic system within 18 months to verify that new hires are legal.

- Increases maximum fines to employers for hiring illegal workers to $20,000 for each worker and imposes jail time for repeat offenders.

- Beginning in six years, all employers would have to use a database to verify Social Security numbers of all employees.

-Increases maximum fines for employers of illegal workers from current $10,000 to $40,000 per violation and establishes prison sentences of up to 30 years for repeat offenders.

The AP is just so full of it.
The real highlights of the Senate Bil as it relates to document verification is that Federal government officers are banned under pain of prosecution, from trying to verify what will invariably be fake credentials presented by the illegals that are seeking the amnesty that is being given to them like so much confetti in the Senate Bill.

Exactly how on earth do these fine Senators of ours propose to verify an illegal alien that has been here for 5 years, more than 2 years, or less than 2 years, when even Ed Meese himself has admitted that most of the documents presented in the Reagan amnesty were totally fake?
And exactly how do they propose to get the INS to process the GRGANTUAN task of processing these untold millions of illegals?

The US Senate are like a bunch of drunken sailors.
They have lost their fr**king minds, and they stand ready to squander vast amounts of our tax dollars on a bunch of foreigners.
They can and will be stopped.

Highlights of a bill the House passed in December: - Beginning in six years, all employers would have to use a database to verify Social Security numbers of all employees.

If I remember right there was a bill passed in 1997 that established a voluntary SSA# verification program but that it was to become mandatory in 2007. Hope to be able to find it. But if that is the case then this bill would set it back another 10 years, way to go Congress. What a bunch of clowns

The following briefly explains why illegals creep across the desert and perpetuate the lie about taking so-called "low-pay jobs Americans won't do."

The US taxpayer is subsidizing their every need 24/7, morn til night: Using multiple phony SS #'s, forged documents, and multiple IDs the invaders collect multiple $4500-$5400 EICs from the IRS by declaring several names/jobs - just by going $1 over the income limit. They also line up for EINs, ITINs, Child Tax Credit, Additional Child Tax Credit, welfare and food stamps.

US Taxpayers are subsidizing invaders' daily food intake, housing, reduced mortgages, free medical care, free education, reduced in-state tuition and out of state tuition. We also foot the legal bills when they start suing if we don't provide these goodies pronto......etc., etc, ad infinitum, ad nauseaum.

The 423 pp monstrosity Senate bill (secretly written in El Presidente Vicente Fox's hacienda assisted by reconquista groups) provides that invaders will be paid a prevailing wage, Earned Income Tax credits, medical benefits; housing benefits; WIC; anchor baby citizenship; legal representation and amnesty from back taxes owed.

The Senate atrocity does not meet Constitutional muster b/c Vicente, and the reconquistas could care less about the US Constitution. They want only to get their greedy hands on the US treasury and to take over the US government with the vote, or by violence, if necessary (their own words and signage at the recent protests).

All of this explains while they will do anything, pay anything, endure anything, to get over the border to the US to get low-paying labor. They have dollar signs dancing in their criminal heads......

.....and billions of it goes back to Mexico where El Presidente Vicente gets a nice chunk of it---and so do the federales in Central and South American banana republics who help their compadres cross the border.

"Exactly how on earth do these fine Senators of ours propose to verify an illegal alien that has been here for 5 years, more than 2 years, or less than 2 years, when even Ed Meese himself has admitted that most of the documents presented in the Reagan amnesty were totally fake?"

According to the senate bill, all they have to do is vouch for themselves by signing an affidavit stating that they've been here 5 years, period.
