WASHINGTON, D.C. - - Groups such as the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education (MALDEF) is analyzing the legal mechanisms which are starting to occur, as the consequence of the measures by the federal government, in their fight against undocumented (sic) immigration. Of the 26 administrative initiatives that the federal government plans to perhaps implement the one which creates the biggest challenges will be the dismissal of employees whose names and numbers of Social Security Cards do not match.

For discussion, tactical and political action purposes.

"Undocumented" and "Immigrants" are code words for "Illegal Aliens" in this particular media outlet in the USA. The Babelfish translation has adhered to that euphemistic approach.

Everyone, I had to exerpt here, per La Opinion's rules.

PLEASE GO TO THE LINK ABOVE, TO SEE AT THE END OF THE ARTICLE, IN SPANISH, HOW THEY ARE CONCERNED--OUT LOUD--ABOUT THE RECENT EFFORTS SPREADING IN THE USA TO HANDLE ILLEGALS BY LOCAL U.S.A. ORDINANCES, AND THE ADMISSION BY "MALDEF " THAT THEY ARE UNDERSTAFFED IN THIS REGARD AND "CANNOT BE EVERYWHERE AT ONCE", ACCORDINGLY CANNOT FIGHT THIS IF IT BREAKS OUT ACROSS THE U.S.A.

Code words that have no legal standing. At best PR, at worst a near religious adherence to using those words in the name of some kind of vague but superior morality, which I would counter (with the appropriate smirk on my face) as a violation of the separation church and state.

Some newbies to FR take me to task for usage of “undocumented” when it is simply “indocumentado”. I do not agree with these Hispanic newspapers. The words mean ILLEGAL ALIENS no ways about it, every way to Sunday. That is why I add a (sic) often, (said in context). I really object to the Hispanic usage of that “immigrant” and “undocumented” to cover that group of people.

Especially the one guy they always have on who is a current or ex Mexican govt official. He always demands we use those euphenisms based on vague moral concepts like ‘compassion’ or ‘humane’ or some BS like that.

I would love to debate him, and again with the appropriate smirk on my face remind him that those euphenisms have NO legal standing whatsoever, and that this is a policy discussion and to save his moralizing for church, throwing in the separation of church and state line just to piss off the liberals.

If an employee's name and Social Security number do not match, then it's most likely because the employee is using someone else's SSN. Of course, sometimes the SSN might not match due to a typo on the part of the employer's HR, which is why documents should be checked and double-checked during the initial days of employment.

Allowing illegals to steal the identities of U.S. citizens and permanent residents is neither compassionate nor humane for the folks whose identities are stolen. It's a nightmare for them.

[rabscuttle385]

If Mexican government officials, in official or semi-official capacity, are openly advocating the breaking of U.S. law, I would say that their words and actions constitute acts of war.

Seems to me that if groups are joining together to help people circumvent the laws of the United States of America, they could be deemed to colluding to commit crimes. And if some of those who are sneaking into this nation were found to be terrorists, those who may have helped them or are seeking to help them should receive a visit from homeland security. I hear Jose Padilla is looking for a cell-mate.

They have no legal options in this country. They should go back to their countries of origin.

You get a gold star on the lapel for the day!!

This could be a RICO violation, at least a "conspiracy to obstruct justice."

"Justice" is the carrying out of law enforcement.

The laws do in fact exist, already, there is no debate over whether they should be in force or not. The purpose is to subvert established law, by conspiring in a group. This is criminal and it is racketeering.

Organizing to change laws is one thing, but specifically organizing to thwart laws and provide ways for individuals to escape prosecution (justice) are clearly illegal acts. I think Judicial Watch or some other such group should threaten MALDEF with a lawsuit.

[DoughtyOne]

Thanks for the comments. I agree.

Don’t you think that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales would jump right on this case? Who needs Judicial Watch when you’ve got a conservative Republican administration hot on the trail? Snicker...

[AmericanInTokyo]

wow....there is about much chance for that to happen as there would be for islamofascists to pack jimmy dean pork sausages in their lunch baskets for their pilgrimages to Mecca.....
