Immigration bill grants amnesty to employers of illegals; no prosecution for bogus IDs
The Washington Times ^ | April 29, 2013 | Stephen Dinan

The debate is raging over whether the latest immigration bill is an amnesty for illegal immigrants, but one part is clear: The legislation would forgive businesses that have employed those immigrants illegally.

Employers who have allowed illegal immigrants to work off the books can come forward safely and provide their work history without fear of prosecution, and businesses that knowingly employed someone using a bogus or stolen Social Security number likewise would get a pass, according to an analysis of the bill by the Center for Immigration Studies, a think tank that wants a crackdown on immigration.

“The illegal workers at least have to pay a token fine. The employers of illegal immigrants who violated a whole list of laws themselves don’t even have to pay,” said Mark Krikorian, executive director of the center. “It’s the business side of the amnesty that doesn’t get a lot of focus.”

Business groups’ support is considered critical to getting a bill passed this year, but attention has been focused mostly on a guest worker program and requirements that all employers would have to meet, such as using an electronic verification system to check potential hires.

Indeed, it wasn’t until business groups, led by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, struck a deal with the AFL-CIO on a guest worker program that the final Senate bill came together....

Somebody can probably come up with a "Percentage of Black Women Who Will Be Laid Off' ~ just repeat it often enough in FR and Google will turn that into THE NEWS. I'll start with:

[ ]The immigration bill will require that approximately 574,329 African American employees of public school districts and hospitals be placed on indefinite suspension until the first wave of undocumented workers are placed in jobs suitable to their training and experience. White workers will be hurt as well, but many will secure part time employment completing Affordable Care Act forms for newly insured workers and their dependents ~ thus completing stage one of President Obama's promise to insure the uninsured'

Of course - this scheme of getting more "cheap" labor that taxpayers have to support is a creature of big business.

These greedy employers are little saw’d off traitors and criminals...I have nothing but contempt for these lying low life swine...These people lie as a matter of routine, playing stupid as they count their profits on the backs of honest tax payers...

Profits regardless of consequences...

They could care less entire towns and cities become trashed 3rd world slums, with choked off hospitals, jails, etc...As long as they get their dirt cheap, low wage illegal labor...

These types really need to burn in hell.

This whole scam is nothing but an attempt to put the final nail into the coffin of traditional American society.

That's exactly what it is and exactly why liberals/leftists support illegals coming in.

In direct violation of at least a dozen laws. So much for protecting Americans. Our Congress is only interested in their power, their votes, and our money.

It is time to abolish our government that no longer represent Americans and start over.

“As an employer needing bilingual employees, I know it is very easy to get false ID’s and SS#. “

It also easy to identify them through eVerify. Not to mention, you damned well when you are hiring an illegal alien.

Rubio is a Hispanic liar. He represents foreign interests over Americans that pay the taxes.

That’s part of it. For the moment, he represents Bill GAtes and Mark Zuckerberg.

that’s what I have been pondering. This represents arbitrary enforcement of laws based on political gaming

That's part of the problem. They don't/won't assimilate as long as there are those willing to accommodate them.

"would it still be illegal for me to get a fake ID?"

Yes, if you're an American citizen. The government doesn't like people who don't pay taxes. Oh, an illegal immigrant with a stolen ID? No problemo. In fact, let's see what we can do to get you EITC.

Didn't pay taxes? What's the difference?

Here's your check. Enjoy.

And don't forget to register to vote on your way out of the DMV where you got your state issued driver's license.

Wouldn't want you to call us bigots or anything.

That would be morally wrong.

Judging you, I mean.
