Lamm: Get tough on immigration
Wants proof of citizenship to board planes, get job, open bank account

Requiring people to prove their U.S. citizenship when getting a job, boarding an airplane or opening a bank account would drastically cut back on illegal immigration in the country, former Colorado Governor Richard Lamm said yesterday.

“I really think in a time of terrorism, that makes a lot of sense,â€

[quote]Russo blasted the current E-Verify system as an often-biased database that doesn’t work. She said the database is based more on race than immigration, and that she knows people who “can’t get jobs because of an E-Verify system that’s not serving anyone.â€

But not everyone is on board. Chandra Russo of the Colorado Immigrant Rights Coalition, for one, thinks that the government should instead broadly legalize all undocumented immigrants in the country. A broad legalization would create more jobs and bring more revenue into the tax system and economy Ń approximately $1.5 trillion over several years Ń she said.

Over 10% unemployed, how many jobs have disappeared, how many underemployed, and this fool thinks illegal immigration will create jobs?!?!?!!! WTH is she smoking??

Is she going to pull the jobs out of her butt? How will illegal aliens bring in more revenue, when they don't report enough to pay taxes now?

The real issue is Chandra is scared that she won't have her tax-payer funded job if we enforce immigration laws. Ain't that right, Chandra? These outfits need to be auditied and charged with aiding and abetting!

WE DEMAND ENFORCEMENT NOW!!!
