will this be another bill upon which the Congress votes, without actually reading?
I’ve been too busy to FReep this weekend, because I did the things I refuse to let the invaders do. Lawn work, landscaping, painting, etc.
Time to change my tag line.
What’s the catch ? There’s got to be a catch, I doubt a Dem would introduce a bill like that with the big possibility of being called a ‘racist’.
The Pelosians will never allow a vote................
20 years in prison (no parole) for any employer that knowingly hires an illegal....BTW....execute the illegal.
Word would run through the community like a wild fire...
In other words, the Dems aren't actually planning to vote for it. I give this bill a snow-ball's chance in Hell of passing.
“There aren’t enough odd-jobs and off-the-books jobs in the underground economy to soak up the estimated 7 million illegal workers in the country.”
Since this is the “underground economy,” I doubt the author has any way to back up this claim.
My first thoughts too. This has to be total BS. No breathing RAT can be trusted with this issue.
Isn’t Schuler one of the newly elected “Blue Dog” democrats? Anyway, if this bill is as good as it sounds and can actually get passed, I wouldn’t care if Ted Kennedy sponsored it.
The main obstacle might be Bush!!:(
Take a cold shower Roy. This is just show business by shuler to save his own butt. plastic face will allow the so called “blue rats” to introduce all kinds of conservative SOUNDING bills, but she will NEVER allow them to get to a vote.
believing in nonsense like this.."SELF-DEPORTATION"..
It's another government operation. No one expects government operations to accomplish anything. Sometime during the four years this is supposed to help we will hear that we need a "comprehensive" program to make this work.
What happens to employers who do not fire illegals? As I quickly scanned this article, I did not see the provision for employer sanctions.
In Arizona, starting in 2008, an employer who doesn’t use this electronic verification system for new hires will have his business license suspended for 10 days. The second infraction = permanent revocation.
Yes he is. As a NC voter, I cringe with doubt. Just a smoke screen bill because NC is heavily infiltrated with Mexicans working tobacco farms, especially WNC, Shuler’s home area. My BS meter is pegged.
The first catch is that Shuler knows the bill can't pass. While there is wide support for more internal enforcement/employee verification, there is going to be opposition because it is not comprehensive. Recall that there were many who voted against the recent Dream Act legislation, because it wasn't comprehensive, even tho they supported the Dream act.
The second catch is that Shuler has not included the linking of Real ID to employee verification. He has also not mentioned the merging of the SS and DHS databases.
“20 years in prison (no parole) for any employer that knowingly hires an illegal....BTW....execute the illegal.”
The kind of good old-fashioned justice we haven’t seen in 60 years or so.
Looky there.. Dems moving to the right of Republicans... must be the election season... Any time the Republicans are left enough for Democrats to move to the right of them, the Democrats take the win.
Pass another law, spend a BUNCH of money for “enforcement” and very little result. Sounds like a dimmocrat proposal!
Verifying eligibility and successfully prosecuting the offenders is a totally different thing. Many, many jobs today are filled by these illegals who will never be identified simply because their “employers” will not attempt to identify them. Whole communities of these illegals have “off the books” jobs that will never go away until the employers are identified and severely punished. This “law” won’t change the employers of these “little” enterprises. Literally millions of these illegals are employed by these “cash paid daily” employers who actually employ less than 10 people a day - and never report (pay) taxes or employee earnings. Arresting and successfully prosecuting an employer who has employed the services of 3 or 4 people illegally is too expensive and the successful arresting agency head doesn’t get his name in the paper or on TV and our courts can’t handle the backlog they have today. The law enforcement personnel will be “overworked” watching the large employers and will simply be screaming every year for “more money” to add enforcement personnel (which they never do even after they get the money).
Don't tell me; Shuler is getting the idea that his constituents are getting tired of him having his nose so far up Pelosi's (insert favorite orifice name here) that he figures he has to do something to make it look like he's not a complete socialist toady.
