Stimulus jobs to illegal immigrants?
Study: 300K illegals could be hired; but is study bunk, and does E-Verify work?

A recent study by the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) said that 300,000 nationwide construction jobs expected to be created by the economic stimulus bill could go to illegal immigrant workers because there is no provision in the bill that requires employers to certify legal immigration status.

But foes of the federal employee verification system, E-Verify, say the program is plagued with problems, and they say the CIS study is bunk. Last month, legislation in Colorado was killed that would have required employers to use E-Verify to see if their job applicants are illegal immigrants.

“This bill has been killed three years in a row,â€

Once again it is all about open borders and cheap labor. Illegal aliens do take jobs and I have folders full of incidents where they did, were busted for identity theft and Americans lined up outside those facilities for those now open jobs. DC's attitude is to hell with suffering and struggling Americans. We are truly on our own......

Opposition to the E-Verify program goes beyond party lines, and some have said the system could keep legal immigrants from finding employment and may open up businesses to lawsuits.

Let's just see when and if that happens. If they are legal it can be fixed. I'd rather have someone try and sue me for doing the right thing and find out exactly where those terrible errors are.....than to hire illegals and never address the problem at all. Besides, can they sue you when it was the government records who are in error? Sounds like additional BS to try and scare people. I think they should carry it out a step further and allow citizens to sue the illegals who have stolen their identity, so loosing their job won't be the worst they have looking at them.
