.....and talks about his possible deportation to Mexico.

"Possible deportation?" What's that all about? This criminal and millions of others of his ilk should be in jail at this very moment, and his relatives out of here already. This sort of smarmy 'touchy-feely' press is unbelievable. Round 'em up, move 'em out. It's the law.

[Tancredo Fan]

A "get out your crying towel and prepare for viloin music and insults to your intelligence" ping!

[denydenydeny]

a nationwide crackdown on illegal immigration.

Shh. Don't tell the Bush-haters.

[dennisw]

The liberal press LOVES these noble, hard working, 3rd world, immigrant sob stories. I look at the unemployment rate for how I feel about such law breaking non sense.

[Plutarch]

Under Section 6721 of the Internal Revenue Code, employers can be fined $50

for each invalid Social Security number

Fifty dollars! Wow, that is draconian. Employers must be really shaking in their boots over the prospect of a $50 fine. No wonder the crackdown is so "silent."

[dennisw]

Why don't they just use those spiffy new Mexican IDs? That are handed out like candy at Mexican consulates?

There must be some kind of Mexican social security number on 'em. (grin)

[Mamzelle]

The liberals really love them because the illegals clean their pools, toilets, spread the mulch, cut the grass...things liberals don't do. I know a few who pride themselves on their kindness to underpaid and vulnerable workers--but they still like them underpaid and vulnerable.

[dalereed]

it's way past time to start penalizing the employers that hire these criminals. Fine the employers and deport the illegals NOW!

[dr_who]

Don't be too pleased. A portion of the money they were earning is going into your social security. But I'm sure it's good for national security that we have more unemployed Mexicans. Sorry to hear that those Mexicans are stealing all those restaurant jobs away from you.

Under Section 6721 of the Internal Revenue Code, employers can be fined $50

That should be upped to $5,000 per and $25,000 on repeats with no maximum. It would help cure the problem very rapidly.

The 30-year-old Mexican immigrant fights back tears as he talks about what awaits his family now that he has been fired from his job because his Social Security number didn't match federal records.

BWAHAHHA!! BWAHAHHA!!

I couldn't read any further.. "You know, just because I entered illegally and falsified my papers shouldn't mean that I am not welcome.. I mean, after all, this is America! "

[Jhoffa_]

Bump on your #10.

Fifty bucks could easily be written off as the cost of doing buisness. Far, far too low.

Some of the upper-crust Repubs seem to prefer them, as well. Otherwise, why are so many still supporting 245(i) Amnesty for Illegals?

[Brownie74]

"There is nothing there for us," says the Salt Lake City man as he puts his arm around his daughter and talks about his possible deportation to Mexico.

Well that is just the way the mop flops when you are an obvious illegal immigrant from Mexico. Go back to Mexico where you are a legal citizen and seek your own opportunities. Stop cutting into our legal seniors citizens benefits.

....the IRS will be conducting follow-up investigations of mismatched Social Security numbers....

Finally. Not that this hasn't been suggested on this forum many times. If the IRS gets on their trail they will scatter like quail.

[norton]

"those mexicans" did take jobs away from someone, maybe not from anyone posting here, but a quick check of the unemployment office in any major city will turn up a bunch of legal Americans that would be no more difficult to train to sweep up or bus tables than the average colombian border crossser.

[Reaganwuzthebest]

But Kelly said the stepped-up effort amounts to "a silent raid against undocumented workers."

What about the silent raid that's been going on against the taxpayer who has to pay for the illegal's healthcare, schooling for their kids, and the incarceration costs for the thousands of them in jail? Or do these illegal alien apologists even care?

[Jhoffa_]

Don't be too pleased. A portion of the money they were earning is going into your social security.

Doesn't matter.. More people paying into SS isn't the answer. It's a ponzi scheme that's doomed to failure at some point.

All that's left to argue is when.

[wku man]

"The former welder is among the 500 to 700 Mexican nationals who have contacted their country's consulate in Salt Lake City this year for help after receiving notices from bosses that they have been or will be fired because their Social Security numbers are invalid."

Welder? But I thought illegal scumbag aliens only did those jobs Americans won't do.

I'm sure there are plenty of unemployed welders in SLC who would love to have the job that scumbag illegal held. Both the illegal scumbag alien and the scumbag un-American business owner who hired him should be put against a wall and shot.

Then something would have to be done about all the damn aliens being brought in on H-1B visas to do the same thing...steal our jobs...only with the government's blessing.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[dennisw]

I figure the Mexis are putting you out of your towel boy job.

Not to mention the squeegee men loitering near major intersections in cities throughout the United States.
