Thread: Sue Myrick steps up to the plate

How about sending some encouraging e mails to Myrick for taking the following stand:

Myrick Announces New Bills to Protect Social Security Numbers and Stop NC From Hiring Illegal Aliens To Work On Taxpayer Funded Projects

On Wednesday, April 26, 2006, Rep. Myrick announced that she will be introducing four new bills that would protect American’s Social Security numbers, and prevent North Carolina from giving tax dollars to contractors who hire illegal aliens.

Rep. Myrick’s first bill will require the Social Security Administration to report to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) when more than one person is using a Social Security Card or if the number on the card is false. It is estimated that 4.5 to 7.2 million Social Security cards are used by illegal aliens to obtain employment. Myrick’s bill would allow DHS to investigate and crack down on illegal aliens who are using an American’s Social Security Card to gain employment.

Rep. Myrick will also introduce a bill that will require the Social Security Administration to notify American citizens when it is detected that other people are using their Social Security number. Right now, the Social Security Department knows when a card is being used more than once, but they do not inform the person their identity could be stolen. This is wrong, and Rep. Myrick’s bill would make sure Americans are aware if they are in danger of identity theft.

Rep. Myrick will introduce a third bill aimed at North Carolina’s misuse of tax dollars. Currently, the state hires contractors who hire illegal aliens to complete state projects such as road construction. Rep. Myrick will introduce legislation that states that any contractor who knowingly employs illegal aliens to work on any project (federal, state, or local) that uses federal tax dollars, will have the contract stripped from them and they will receive no federal contract for a period of two years. In addition, the bill will state that any project, state or local, that receives federal funding and is found to have illegal aliens working on the project will lose all federal funding for that particular project.

Most every major project the state is working on receives federal funding to help complete the project. Rep. Myrick hopes this legislation will encourage North Carolina to stop sending tax dollars into the pockets of illegal aliens, unless they want to lose federal tax dollars.

Last, Rep. Myrick will introduce a bill that will no longer allow a drivers license to be used for employment verification purposes IF the drivers license was issued by a state that still accepts taxpayer id numbers. Currently, North Carolina accepts tax payer id numbers to give out drivers licenses. This allows illegal aliens to obtain NC drivers licenses with nothing more than a slip of paper with numbers on it. This happens despite the federal government urging NC to stop accepting them, and despite the fact that 44 other states have outlawed the practice. Rep. Myrick hopes that this bill will light a fire under the feet of North Carolina’s leadership so that they end this practice.

The one thing that Ms. Myrick failed to say is what the Social Security Office told my granddaughter when an Illegal Alien stole her Social Security number and passed it around. They told her that they would issue her another card with the same number to replace the one stolen. But that when she gets ready to retire, they would have no way of knowing just who paid in how much to that number and that all funds would go into a trust fund and nobody would be allowed to draw from it.
The funds would be frozen.

I had read somewhere that FL has been seeing a lot of NC drivers licenses lately.

I sent her a supportive email.

Don't surprise me any.
They bus the ILLEGALS in here to get them.
Serious they do
Easiest place I ever seen for an ILLEGAL to get a driver's license. Don't even have to know how to read either. Or drive for that matter.
