Of all the things I think are unconstitutional, I certainly think a law requiring someone to ask the fed gov to work is one of them.
We controlled immigration before we had an income tax where fed gov got access to every work document and income statement every man had. We can do it again.
Best way to stop illegals from getting fed gov welfare is to stop fed gov having welfare programs.
I'm tired of this vicious cycle where fed gov creates a problem and then they propose giving them more power as the solution. That's why we find ourselves in the morass we are in today.
State law enforcement is the answer to our immigration problems. That's why TPTB have so vociferously opposed it.
OK boys and girls here’s the real game plan.
Remember DC stands for “devil city”
The Judiciary Committee voting to pass out HB 2885 is a blatant effort to further seize 10th Amendment rights and stiffle all objection to the employers of illegal aliens.
WE LOST THIS BATTLE because our representatives took contributions from the National Chamber of Commerce and a whole host of other groups who wish to pass thire lawful obligations for hiring employees to the rest of society.
WE LOST THE BATTLE BUT THE WAR IS STILL ON!!!!
Everyone needs to write their congresman and let them know this is a litmus test of their worthiness to serve in office. Congress can fix this bill and anyone who votes for it in its current form should be kicked out.
To clarify further, this bill is intended to void e-Verify and here is the plan:
1 Pass HR 2885 in its current wording.
2. Then, defund e-Verify, leaving the preemption clause in effect.
3. Pop a cork and celebrate that no one will make them pay the full freight for hiring illegals.
Do not forgive and do not forget. These folks do not care about the Constitution or the State of Texas. They are only loyal to their net worth, do not believe in hell and only believe in the present.
Take their power and influence away this next year by removing them from office.
Last and not least, never forget the treachery of Numbers USA is selling out on this bill.
AZ SB 1070 is a good example. The feds aren't equipped to do interior enforcement even if they wanted to. It is state & local law enforcement who come in contact with illegals on a daily basis, not the feds.
