'Because of the broad sweep of the Oklahoma law, the effects are likely to be widespread, the report said. Anecdotally, immigrants appear to be dropping out of site, resulting in a tight labor market and higher wages in the construction industry. Overall, the cost of construction projects could rise, the report predicted.'

Ding, Ding.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce: The New Plantation Masters

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Self-deportation ping.

Rising wages for Americans ping.

Affordable housing ping.

Solvent hospitals ping.

[Congressman Billybob]

I am ashamed of the position taken by the US Chamber of Commerce. A very sharp, very expensive, lady lawyer who represents the Chamber, came to give a speech to local leaders here in Highlands, NC. She was really slick. The word "illegal" did not pass her lips in 1:15 of speech and Q*A.

The national Chamber wants open borders so its members have cheap (and illegal) help. They don't give a rat's patoot what happens to the nation as a result of that policy. Their idea of "onerous" state laws as laws that work.

Local Chambers of Commerce are not so blind, nor as dishonest, as the national one.

They obviously have no idea what the voters may do to them, if they don’t align with public opinion regarding illegal immigration. Things could get very ugly.

This treasonous rabble also spent millions to prevent legislation to properly label all foreign-based food items. Only fish has been mandated, thanks to the legal machinations of this profits-uber-alles group. They have also fought tooth and nail to prevent any and all actions against China or Chinese goods, relating to safety, dumping or machinations of the Yuan.

The Chamber of Commerce should merge with the ACLU.

[MinuteGal]

"Chamber promises to oppose "onerous" state immigration laws."

One man's "onerous" may be another man's "disasterous".

I just love weasel words.

Another reason to add to the many of why in over 40 years in business I would never belong to that despicable organization.

If the COC tries to block enforcement of immigration laws, they should be fought at every level...governments should prosecute them if possible, and civilians should fight them any way we can.

[Waco]

Start jailing these ‘patriots’ till we find out what the Constitution says on the matter.

[greene66]

In regards to the Chamber, it’s good to know that the ACLU has an equally evil cousin, just as determined to destroy the country. Different ideologies, but same disregard for laws, and same destructive goals. All traitors.

This is called selling the rope to hang yourself.

Which, again, shows why we shouldn’t put the Fiscons at the wheel of the GOP vehicle.

As someone put it, “Socialized cost, privatized profits.” Yes, the CofC is for taxpayer-subsidized “cheap” labor and if you’re opposed to paying the CoC members’ costs then.. well, you’re a bigot.

[jmyrlefuller]

The report predicted that employers who fail to comply with the law may face the loss of public contracts that could effectively put them out of business.

So now the private sector has become dependent on the government to stay afloat. I don't care if it's welfare handouts or "public contracts," we have become a socialist state.

That's what American construction workers want to hear! Now more Americans can find work and make a better living for their families. It's about time Americans got a piece of the American dream!!

The “U.S.” Chamber of Commerce should change its name to the Mexican Consult ate Support Group.

The Illinois Right to Privacy in the Workplace Act (820 Ill. Comp. Stat. 55/1, et seq) takes a very different approach. That state's law prohibits employers from enrolling in an employment eligibility program until the program is deemed reliably accurate. This could create difficulties for multi-state employees that otherwise participate in E-Verify and other verification programs, according to the report.

Illinois was sued by DHS and has since caved.
