This it the most factual comment about the immigration bill I've read. I propose that a pro-inforcement group like the Minute Men start a rewards fund for whistle blowers. The HR staff at most companies are the ones with the goods on how hiring laws are skirted. We need to get them to come forward!

How many of you out there know of companies that have dozens of illegal workers on the payroll. What will it take to bring these companies to justice?

If enough CEO’s are seen taken away in hand-cuffs companies across America will take a second look at their work force. It will take insiders to point the fingers and dig up evidence to go after these bastards that have sold out american jobs.

I liked the amendment that would require illegals to leave the country in order to apply for the program.

Below is a link to join a ping list to keep the presure on the politicians. We should continue insisting the current immigration laws are enforced including deporting all illegal aliens, building the fence and prosecuting companies who do business with illegal aliens.

It is just not company employers who are thumbing their noses at the law regarding hiring illegals. Most towns have a street corner, a building or even a local supported gathering place where anyone can stop by and pick up a day laborer. No one is trying to get rid of those places or practices. WE all have to get serious about hiring illegals if this problem is going to be solved. I think, though that a few top Exec’s of large companies doing the ‘perp’ walk the way they did with the Enron, et.al, groups would put a little more fear and backbone in our laws regarding the employment of illegals....

The Open Borders Crowd wants ZERO enforcement. If they agree to it, they're not sincere about it. This whole debate was a sham.

I’m all for punishing employers. But until we develop a system that is secure and that can’t be counterfeited, then punishing employers who try to do the right thing is counter productive. If this government would allow employers to access the SS system to verify numbers given, little can be done. This Govt. needs a tamper proof system, handled by an outside private company like Am.Express that can issue temp. work visas, that can keep tract of people, then any form of temp. work visa’s will not work. Those employers who know that they are hiring illegals with forged documents need the book thrown at them.

Anyone out there think a “whistle blowers reward fund” would help? Any suggestions on how to start?

The problem with the employer verification of legal citizenship is that if the person has “papers” that look official, as far as I know, there’s nothing to check the authenticity of those “papers”. We already know the SSA isn’t giving info on the $$ they are holding for duplicate ss#’s, the IRS doesn’t report them, so how are employers supposed to? There has to be a system in place in order to weed them out but it has to start with the government first.

I had my roof replaced (Insurance covered it) 2 years ago. When the workers showed up I told the foreman I had to see everyones green card before they could do any work on the house.

Needless to say... It was two days before they came back and started the job.

The fact this statement came from Senator Claire McCaskill, a Democrat from Missouri needs to awaken citizens to a simple truth. True Americans cannot be simply identified by party registration. True Americans have values that need neither a D, R, or any other letter next to their name. These are true Americans! Celebrate them, for they are you!

"Until our country gets serious about enforcement against employers, all the laws we pass won't make a difference." We won't see politicians biting the hands that feed them.
