U.S. said helpless in hiring of aliens (i.e. there's STILL no immigrant database for employers)

The federal government is not capable of helping employers determine whether workers in the U.S. are illegal aliens, a government official will testify before a Senate subcommittee this afternoon. Richard M. Stana, director of homeland security and justice for the Government Accountability Office, said that two decades after Congress ordered the government to create a program to prevent the hiring of illegals, such a program still doesn't exist. Immigration specialists have "found that the single most important step that could be taken to reduce unlawful immigration is the development of a more effective system for verifying work authorization," Mr. Stana said in prepared testimony obtained by The Washington Times. "In the nearly 20 years since the passage of [the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986], the employment-eligibility verification process and work-site enforcement program have remained largely unchanged," he said.

How is this possible? Perhaps the vote-buying Democrats' civil servant allies have done whatever they can to subvert the creation of such a national registry? By the way, I read today that federal statutes supposedly "bar employers from inquiring into immigration status before the employee candidate is hired".

Look, why waste money on a fancy database when in the end enough of the Republicans will cave in to the Rove/RINO Senate amnesty plan to make them all citizens - the 12 million already here, and the 60 million more to come.

If you will be able to just walk in here any time and automatically become a citizen, why do you need enforcement?

Both Parties have abdicated their responsiblity to protect us.

[Shuttle Shucker]

This would seemingly be of interest to those in the immigration thread, in case you know who runs it...

[Bikers4Bush]

They are absolutely capable, they just don't want to do it.

It would be very simple to create a system that verifies the legal holder of a SS# for businesses to use to verify eligibility.

Hell the SS office and the IRS have internal lists of SS#'s that are being used by multiple individuals.

Meanwhile, Mexico continues discriminating like the S.S. against us gringos down there:

>>>Both Parties have abdicated their responsiblity to protect us.<<<

Maybe there's a solution here?

Why can’t we open up the televised national presidential debates so that the leading third party candidate can also benefit from the free publicity like our two monopolistic political parties already do? Overseas, many advanced democracies have credible presidential bids from MORE THAN two political parties. In the U.S.A. though, the following restriction still peculiarly applies here in the supposed "land of competition"

http://www.debates.org/pages/candsel2004.html

"[The Debate Commission's] third criterion [for free televised debate participation] requires that the candidate have a level of support of at least 15% (fifteen percent) of the national electorate as determined by five selected national public opinion polling organizations, using the average of those organizations' most recent publicly-reported results at the time of the determination."

Congressmen Sensenbrenner and Hastert seem to be saving us from the amnesty path, at least for now. How much longer though?

[Mike Darancette]

All you need is a table consisting of S/S #, Name, date of birth and date of death. Running your employees against such a table would highlight 99.99% of an employers illegals immediately.

The IRS and S/S Administration has this information NOW.

[Shuttle Shucker]

Hopefully somebody will make sure this news gets to Rush Limbaugh. Washington D.C. is having an increasingly tough time ignoring Rush on the immigration issue.

Thanks for the ping. I was shocked when I read this news today.

[Shuttle Shucker]

I recall that trest of that Washington Times article mentions how many s.s. numbers are falsified though. I could only include an excerpt...

[Shuttle Shucker]

Thanks!

"(i.e. there's STILL no immigrant database for employers) "

You can bet your ass that everything their is to know about me, you, and 300 million other citizens are in a database somewhere though.

I guess it's safer scolding your own kids than the step-children.

Rush deserves a lot of credit for his Limbaugh Laws, also documented here:

Step children? You should see how Mexico treats us gringos down there when we don't comply with their (anti-investment, protectionist, pro-oligarch) immigration laws. We don't get treated like offspring of any sort. We get treated like DIRT.

By the way, I read today that federal statutes supposedly "bar employers from inquiring into immigration status before the employee candidate is hired".

My local FFL runs a pawn shop. In his prior life, he was a farmer. He said he was prohibited by law from challenging the immigration status of people seeking work on his farm. He saw the same faces year after year. Each year they would show up with entirely different social security numbers and identification. He was free to suspect that they were illegals, but legally barred from asking them. The government is free to check to see if he hired an illegal and prosecute him to the fullest extent of the law. It was so much fun that he opened a pawn shop instead of continuing to be legally exposed to a government screw job or an ACLU lawsuit.
