Illegal immigrants might get stimulus jobs, experts say

LOS ANGELES — Tens of thousands of jobs created by the economic stimulus law could end up filled by illegal immigrants, particularly in big states such as California where undocumented workers are heavily represented in construction, experts on both sides of the issue say.

Studies by two conservative think tanks estimate immigrants in the United States illegally could take 300,000 construction jobs, or 15% of the 2 million jobs that new taxpayer-financed projects are predicted to create.

They fault Congress for failing to require that employers certify legal immigration status of workers before hiring by using a Department of Homeland Security program called E-Verify. The program allows employers to check the validity of Social Security numbers provided by new hires. It is available to employers on a voluntary basis.

“They could have deterred this, but they chose not to,” said Steven Camarota, director of research for the Center for Immigration Studies.

I really don’t have too much more to say about this other than to just repeat what I have said in the past and in the comments of the post just below this one.

If they are here ILLEGALLY, give them ONE opportunity to leave, if they don’t leave immediately, SHOOT THE BASTARDS!

Walk up to them and ask em, “Do you speak English?” If the answer is No inglese… SHOOT THE BASTARDS!

Ask them for an ID, a green card and a SS Card, if no VALID U.S. identification can be presented, SHOOT THE BASTARDS!

A month or 2 of this and we’ll have a lot less ILLEGALS, many will be very dead, too damned bad, but the rest of them will be raising a dust cloud as they haul ass for the border… End of problem, and once they are ALL back over the border, then we seal the border and SHOOT ANY of them that try to come back ILLEGALLY.

Obama won’t do it, that terrorist loving POS is as useless as George W. Bush was on ILLEGALS, but that is exactly how it would happen if I were POTUS…

Report: Thousands of Illegal Immigrants Freed From Texas Jail

HOUSTON — Federal immigration officials let thousands of inmates in the nation’s third-most populous county walk out of jail despite the suspects admitting they were in the U.S. illegally, a newspaper investigation found.

More than 3,500 inmates told Harris County jailers they were in the country illegally over an eight-month period starting in June 2007, but records show Immigration and Customs Enforcement filed paperwork to detain only about a quarter of them.

In a story published Sunday, The Houston Chronicle found that most illegal immigrants released from jail were accused of minor crimes. But others included convicted child molesters, rapists and those ordered to be deported decades ago.

ICE officials said they are doing the best they can with their resources.

Report: Thousands of Illegal Immigrants Freed From Texas Jail

This is a CERTAIN FACT, many of these ILLEGALS will be rearrested in no time at all. Crime is their life and crime is ALL they do! And I have to wonder, what will the headline be if one or more of these ILLEGALS commits a murder, or several on some innocent citizens?

ICE officials said they are doing the best they can with their resources.

That may well be the truth too! Given the financial situation that we are facing here in America today, given the fact that our MORON in Chief loves him some wetbacks, given the fact that our MORON elect loves HIM some wetbacks too, maybe ICE is saddled with a lot more than they can get to!

Any efforts made to stem the tide of ILLEGALS in this nation, any done under MORON 43’s administration, was nothing more than a hollow effort, one made simply to *appear* to be *doing something*, and done in an attempt to pacify the LEGAL, and REAL citizens of this nation, you and me!

In releasing 3,500 ILLEGALS back onto the streets of Houston, and thus onto the citizens of Texas, it appears that there has been a huge breakdown in our Homeland Security. I don’t suppose that anyone can offer any hope that *The One* will do a thing different?? I mean, he is NOT going to alienate his future voting base I am guessing.

Folks, I am NOT a revolutionary, I am NOT an anarchist, I have been accused of inciting violence against ILLEGALS before though, by stating that I firmly believe that they need to be shot on sight as they cross our border, but that is NOT an incitement of violence, that is simply a statement of opinion and a wish to see this nation properly defended.

I do NOT believe that the following paragraph is an incitement of violence either, but if some FAUX intellectuals want to interpret it as such, so be it.

We, the armed citizens of Texas, are about to have to defend our homes, families and freedoms, if the government can’t protect us from this ILLEGAL HORDE, then it is going to be up to us to protect ourselves as we exercise our given rights under The Castle Doctrine!

You can read anything you like into that statement!

Report: Illegal immigrant minors mistreated by US

DALLAS (AP) - Federal authorities have compromised the rights and safety of some unaccompanied illegal immigrant children they have detained, and inadequate government guidelines are partly to blame, according to a Texas-based research group.

Many children appeared before immigration judges without legal representation, some were transported home in shackles or cages, and the medical needs of some were ignored, according to a report released Thursday by the Center for Public Policy Priorities, a nonprofit think tank.

“There’s no consistent policy. There’s nobody who’s responsible for these kids, in looking out for their safety,” report author Amy Thompson said. “It’s being handled in ad hoc fashion.”

The Department of Homeland Security, which oversees immigration and border enforcement, disputes the center’s findings.

“DHS and its component agencies treat all minors, including unaccompanied alien children, with dignity, respect and special concern for their particular vulnerabilities,” spokeswoman Laura Keehner said in a statement Thursday evening.

Get ready for it Conservative America, it is coming just as surely as you are reading this story!

George W. Bush, nearly ALL the Dems and far too many so-called Repubs tried to ram AMNESTY for ILLEGALS down our throats a while back but folks like us launched a huge campaign of phone calls, emails, snail mail, whatever it took, and we got it stopped. We ALL worked together and we accomplished the feat of turning the wants of the president and many legislators around and we got this travesty stopped.

It won’t happen again, not anytime in the near future.

We are about to be saddled with the most liberal/leftist president in the history of this nation, and a Dem/libber controlled House and Senate. They are going to give these *poor immigrants* more rights and benefits than WE have. And who do you think is going to be paying for it?? Yeah, that’s right, you and me!

Until 2 years ago our RINO president had a RINO majority in the House and Senate and he still couldn’t find his ass with both hands and a set of directions. Don’t for one minute believe that Obama will be so challenged. He will take FULL advantage of his Dem/libber majority and use it to the fullest extent when it comes to matter such as ILLEGALS in America, they will NOT be ILLEGALS for too much longer.

Obama will have the support of asshat RINOs like John McCain, Kay Bailey Hutchison and the like, RINOs and socialists, that is what the Republican party has become, and we can expect nothing from 90% of what is left of the Repubs in Washington! And to be even more honest, even if McCain would have become POTUS, this would still be the likely outcome, with a Dem majority in Congress, McCain would have been comfortably within his element, he is, after all, the biggest RINO, FAUX Republican and anti-Conservative, anti-guns, pandering LIAR that has ever been foisted off on the American people. And a huge number of supposedly intelligent people fell FOR that too!

The debacle that America is about to become would happen regardless of which party won, simply because there is NO real difference between the 2 parties, and the Bush administration was as far from being a REAL Conservative administration as one could ever imagine, that is the precise cause of our current maladies.

There is a bright side though, at least for some people. The *poor immigrant* that is only trying to make a better life for himself and his family will soon have that better life, at OUR expense, as OUR lives spiral downward because OF it!

Factory had tension between union, immigrants

LAUREL, Miss. - Union bosses in this region of rural Mississippi have long grumbled that the largest factories here hire illegal immigrants, and that the immigrants were starting to get more overtime and supervisory positions.

Friction between the union and immigrant workers, along with a tipoff at an electrical manufacturing plant, boiled over this week into the biggest workplace immigration raid in the nation’s history.

When the first of the 595 suspected illegal immigrants was taken into custody Monday, some fellow workers broke into applause. A spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said the investigation started three years ago after agents received a tip from a union member.

Factory had tension between union, immigrants

This is the 1st time in my life I have ever said a good word regarding a union, any union, but that is about to change.

I don’t know what the real story is, all we have is “he said, on conditions of anonymity“, and quite frankly, I don’t care who did it or why they did it. This is the 1st time that I can remember a union actually doing something GOOD for the American worker.

I don’t care how many more ILLEGALS ICE rounds up, they’ll never get them all, and it will never be enough, but this is a great start. And lets face facts, you have to start somewhere, and again, quite frankly, I am surprised that our amnesty loving POTUS didn’t try to step in and stop this from happening, George W. Bush seriously loves him some ILLEGALS, Mexicans in particular.

Contacted Wednesday, Howard Industries referred reporters to the statement it issued Monday, which said the company “runs every check allowed to ascertain the immigration status of all applicants for its jobs. It is company policy that it hires only U.S. citizens and legal immigrants.”

Apparently NOT!! 595 suspected illegal immigrants were taken into custody Monday, that doesn’t speak very well for your employment office, it’s staff or their efforts in ascertaining the status of at least 595 of your employees.

That press release is nothing more than an attempt by some higher ranking officials with Howard Industries at covering their own asses.

“I need a job and got kids. I heard that they need some help now,” said Willie Keys, 20, who applied Wednesday. “All them Mexicans got fired because they didn’t have a pass … All these businesses have been taking Americans’ jobs.”

I have to disagree with ya there Willie, maybe you don’t understand, maybe you didn’t know how to say it just right, whatever, but the businesses haven’t been taking American jobs, the businesses are creating jobs in America and then giving them to the ILLEGALS.

And now it’s time for ICE to do an even more comprehensive investigation. Hold the company, and it’s officials responsible. Make an example out of them and let it be known, this is how we’re going to be doing it from now on. If you break the laws of this land, you pay up! And it’s about time too!

There are Americans that will do these jobs. There are Americans that will be quite happy to join the union and pay dues, and they will quite likely be happy to work whatever overtime is necessary to get the jobs done. And the money they make will be going back into the American economy, as opposed to that of many ILLEGALS, the ones that live and work here, on a shoestring, as they send the bulk of their money out of the USA.

LAUREL, Miss. - A day after the largest single-workplace immigration raid in U.S. history, Elizabeth Alegria was too scared to send her son to school and worried about when she’d see her husband again.

Nearly 600 immigrants suspected of being in the country illegally were detained, creating panic among dozens of families in this small southern Mississippi town.

Alegria, 26, a Mexican immigrant, was working at the Howard Industries transformer plant Monday when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents stormed in. When they found out she has two sons, ages 4 and 9, she was fitted with a bracelet and told to appear in federal court next month. But her husband, Andres, wasn’t so lucky.

“I’m very traumatized because I don’t know if they are going to let my husband go and when I will see him,” Alegria said through a translator Tuesday as she returned to the Howard Industries parking lot to retrieve her sport utility vehicle.

The superintendent of the county school district said about half of approximately 160 Hispanic students were absent Tuesday.
