Just me, but I think we have the laws and the ability to verify documents - it is just the will that is lacking.



No, actually we don't. What we do have is a requirement for employers to check new hires against a list of documents that are a mile long. Most of the documents required by law are easily forged, which gives employers an easy out. Some of the documents are even obtainable by illegals. For example, seven or eight states currently issue driver's licenses to illegals. All an employer is required to do is check the document, not verify that it is valid. While the ability to verify most documents does exist, employers are not required by law to do so. That's where the SAVE Act and the "no-match" letters come into play. Under the current system all an employers has to do is claim the document looked real. It's difficult to hold their feet to the fire when so many loopholes exist.

It was in answer to this -

Sorry, ---

At the company’s warehouse in Long Island City, Queens, the work force, largely immigrants, reacted with panic and distress as news of the inquiry spread.

Here we go again....Immigrants. These people are not immigrants....they are illegal aliens, which is precisely why they ran. Who do they think they are fooling?

ICE...come to the casinos here in Vegas....don't tell them beforehand....just show up with BUSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
boy...would that tick off Reid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's what I say. WHy not take a couple dozen ICE agents and some busses to, as you say, the casinos, or the chicken plant, or the meat packing plant and you could round up hundreds in one fell swoop.

What's with this 15 and 20 at a time. That bugs me -

I mean doesn't being cost effective mean anything to them?

We are talking elected officials and government agencies. How can ineffective surprise you?

Yeah,

But now in all fairness, I didn't say I was surprised, I don't think I did. If I did - cancel it. What WOULD surprise me is their actually do a raid other than 'made for tv' and round up some in great numbers and actually taking them to the border - immediately.

Now that would surprise me.

I know we're in the deep freeze. But this is just Iowa. Hell would have to freeze over for that to happen.

I know -

It doesn't get that cold here in Central Texas -
