Miami-Dade lawmakers stymie immigration bills
Bills targeting illegal immigration have yet to make much headway in the state Legislature.
Posted on Thu, Apr. 17, 2008

TALLAHASSEE --
Just listen and don't make any noise.
Earlier in the year, before heading to Tallahassee, that was the approach Miami-Dade legislators decided to take on a series of proposed bills they oppose dealing with the issue of illegal immigration.
The strategy may have worked.
With less than a week to go for a series of immigration bills to be approved for final votes on the House floor, the prospects of the measures passing are ''slim to none,'' said Rep. David Rivera, a Miami Republican who chairs the House Rules and Calendar committee, which decides when bills get heard.
''The last thing we wanted was to come up here and start drawing lines and making noise,'' said Rep. Juan Zapata, a Miami Republican and chairman of the Miami-Dade delegation.
``That's exactly what these people wanted -- the attention. It's an election year, and immigration is an easy issue to press on.''
DETAILS
The dozen bills being pitched in the House and Senate would increase employer verification requirements, give local law enforcement agencies more authority to check for immigration status of people pulled over for DUIs, and ban county or city funding for day-laborer centers such as one that exists in South Dade.
Florida lawmakers looking to pass bills targeted at curbing illegal immigration faced one major hurdle this session -- convincing South Florida legislators, who hold key leadership positions in the House and Senate, to support their cause.
Without the backing of House Speaker Marco Rubio, the first Cuban-American to hold the position, the bills failed to get any major play in their committees. Six weeks into the session, a three-hour workshop was held on the six House bills, but even that failed to produce its desired intent of combining the bills into one larger committee bill.
NOT ON THE LIST
''Speaker Rubio outlined the priorities of the session and this didn't fall under that list,'' said Rivera, one of Rubio's lieutenants.
Cities and states across the country have been passing a patchwork of immigration enforcement laws in record numbers -- 244 immigration bills were passed in 46 states in 2007 according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
All the more reason for Florida to jump on board to pass its own legislation, says Rep. Gayle Harrell, a Jupiter Republican, proposing a bill that among other things would require state agencies to verify the citizenship of any public assistance applicant older than 14.
''We're frustrated that it hasn't moved faster,'' said Harrell, who added that she's prepared to fight for the bill for the rest of the session.
`LITTLE MEXICO'
Her pitch -- and those of legislators backing such bills, including Rep. Don Brown, a DeFuniak Springs Republican and Sen. Michael Bennett, a Bradenton Republican -- might appeal to voters who say they are fed up with illegal immigrants encroaching on their communities.
''My town is now called Little Mexico,'' Deland resident Ann Lambertson told legislators at the immigration hearing.
`ACCURATE FACTS'
The Florida Legislative Hispanic Caucus, to which most Dade legislators belong, opposes the bills.
The group has also taken a similar wait-and-see approach to the measures, noting that it would be ''prepared to provide accurate facts about the benefits that immigration has provided to Florida,'' said Rep. J.C. Planas, a Miami Republican who chairs the caucus.
''I find it ironic that looking back at the presidential election, the two candidates that spoke the most about immigration as an issue, [Tom] Tancredo and [Mitt] Romney, finished last in Florida,'' Planas said.
``Tancredo didn't even get to Florida, and Romney didn't win here. Obviously its not that big of a political issue that the public is concerned about in lieu of the economy.''

I am waiting to hear more. There were many rumors going around about this. People need to understand one main thing: many of these illegals are hired by other hispanics as they do not speak English. They are hired as nannies, landscapers, housecleaners, and for businesses and treated like slaves. These people don't want to loose this cheap labor. Do you think that it is fair to have a live baby sitter, house cleaner and cook that works 7 days a week and pay her $300 a month. This is the reality here in South Florida. Restaraunts in the Aventura Mall foodcourts hire illegals make them work 10 hours a day, give them a 30 minutes break or lunch during that time and make them work 6 days a week. The worse part is that they don't even always pay them. This I know is true because I know a person who worked like that one day undercover. Many of the franchise store hire illegals at that mall too. If ICE raided that mall there would be plenty of jobs left for Americans.

Has anyone checked into the hispanic caucus members financials? How many of them own rental houses and rent to IA's for high rent? How many own businesses that employ IA's for incredibly cheap wages? How many are profitting off of IA's?
Remember, illegal aliens are almost always exploited by their own people.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)
