"A federal judge in San Francisco ordered an indefinite delay yesterday of a central measure of the Bush administration’s new strategy to curb illegal immigration."

Actually I think he’s quite capable. That is, when he wants to be.

If allowed to take effect, the judge found, the rule could lead to the firing of many thousands of legally authorized workers, resulting in “irreparable harm to innocent workers and employers.”

BULL !!!....

Is there any LEGAL person with a Social Security number who cannot obtain a Soc. Sec. card or other documentation with the number on it? Is there some form of validation that is beyond the capacity of LEGAL residents to supply within 90 days???????

NOPE... AND IT DOES NOT TAKE 90 DAYS.. MORE LIKE 90 SECONDS.. of course for some folks that would be unreasonable to ask them to take 90 seconds out of their busy life to KEEP THEIR JOB --- if in fact they are legally allowed to work the U.S.

Oh you are SOOOOO right. Every President, or Governor, who ever proposed and tried to implement something that a court intervened to stop, was obviously guilty of not really intending to do it in the first place. Who were they trying to fool?? Sheesh. Bush Derangement Syndrome strikes again.

[txrangerette]

Impossible. He can’t be capable. He works for Bush. He’s an idiot. Bush Derangement Syndrome speaks.

[E.G.C.]

BTTT

““There is a strong likelihood that employers may simply fire employees who are unable to resolve the discrepancy within 90 days,” even if they are legal, he (Breyer) wrote.

This statement reeks of so much BS I’m going to have to go change clothes now.”

I lost my SS card and had to go to the local SSA office to get a new one for a new job. It was no big deal and took 2 weeks a the most to get the new card. The receipt from the office was good enough for my employer to start working.

If the federal government is this broken that the SS Dept cannot resolve these questions in less than 90 days, then we citizens and voters need to storm Congress and demand it be fixed.

From the beginning, the SS number was not to be used is an ID number. That used to be in the law, but I’m not sure it is any more.

Also, one of the big deals that libs and Dims raised about the reasons 9/11 wasn’t stopped before it happened is the non-communication between fed agencies. Apparently, we have the same situation here, judicially ordered.

So, either the SS number is allowed to be used as an ID number or it isn’t. If it is, then the SS Dept MUST share their info with other agencies. If it isn’t, then we’re in trouble big time WRT terrorism right here in River City.

(But if the SS number is allowed to be used as an ID number, then we’re in trouble big time WRT identity theft, and the ruined lives that leaves in its wake. Big Brother has screwed the pooch either way.)

[AFPhys]

Yes.

I believe he does.

[steveegg]

Surprise, surprise, surprise. Charles R. Breyer was nominated by S(l)ick Willie.

[azhenfud]

Chertoff’s got to get his gut in gear to figure out how to counter the Judge.

That’s gonna create some abdominal cramping, for sure.

[seemoAR]

the il part. :0)

[angkor]

Is there some form of validation that is beyond the capacity of LEGAL residents to supply within 90 days???????

By this logic ANY law requiring compliance within X days, weeks, or months, is illegal because the time constraint "might harm the innocent".

So there's no need to appear in this judge's court promptly at 9:00AM because such a constraint "might harm the innocent."

And now we also have a circuit court effectively ruling that the SSN database is such a mess that it cannot be used to validate any aspect of work authorization.

That's OK, I say just use passports, DL's, birth certificates, and make document fraud a federal felony with mandatory jailtime.

“......Mr. Clinton tried during his first two weeks in office to cut taxes”

Clintons first 2 weeks in office (once the coronation was ended) was spent with a press/media blackout, during which they (dems/libs/clinton cabal) got their MSM media takeover ducks in a row with the MSM.

Democrat-ically obnoxious posters, who've managed to remain blissfully ignorant of how our government and courts system works have been screaming FOR NEARLY SEVEN STRAIGHT YEARS that it's all Bush's fault. They refuse to even CONSIDER the rolls courts and municipalities play in doing to any effort to curb illegal immigration what a 1 1/4 inch ratchet can do if dropped into a running turbine.

In fact, the Jorge Brigade should be on this thread, treating us to more of their talent for intelligent discourse on the subject.
