Illegal immigrants might get stimulus jobs, experts say

Illegal immigrants might get stimulus jobs, experts say

LOS ANGELES — Tens of thousands of jobs created by the economic stimulus law could end up filled by illegal immigrants, particularly in big states such as California where undocumented workers are heavily represented in construction, experts on both sides of the issue say.

Studies by two conservative think tanks estimate immigrants in the United States illegally could take 300,000 construction jobs, or 15% of the 2 million jobs that new taxpayer-financed projects are predicted to create.

They fault Congress for failing to require that employers certify legal immigration status of workers before hiring by using a Department of Homeland Security program called E-Verify. The program allows employers to check the validity of Social Security numbers provided by new hires. It is available to employers on a voluntary basis.

“They could have deterred this, but they chose not to,” said Steven Camarota, director of research for the Center for Immigration Studies.

I really don’t have too much more to say about this other than to just repeat what I have said in the past and in the comments of the post just below this one.

If they are here ILLEGALLY, give them ONE opportunity to leave, if they don’t leave immediately, SHOOT THE BASTARDS!

Walk up to them and ask em, “Do you speak English?” If the answer is No ingleseSHOOT THE BASTARDS!

Ask them for an ID, a green card and a SS Card, if no VALID U.S. identification can be presented, SHOOT THE BASTARDS!

A month or 2 of this and we’ll have a lot less ILLEGALS, many will be very dead, too damned bad, but the rest of them will be raising a dust cloud as they haul ass for the border… End of problem, and once they are ALL back over the border, then we seal the border and SHOOT ANY of them that try to come back ILLEGALLY.

Obama won’t do it, that terrorist loving POS is as useless as George W. Bush was on ILLEGALS, but that is exactly how it would happen if I were POTUS…

Report: Thousands of Illegal Immigrants Freed From Texas Jail

Report: Thousands of Illegal Immigrants Freed From Texas Jail

HOUSTON — Federal immigration officials let thousands of inmates in the nation’s third-most populous county walk out of jail despite the suspects admitting they were in the U.S. illegally, a newspaper investigation found.

More than 3,500 inmates told Harris County jailers they were in the country illegally over an eight-month period starting in June 2007, but records show Immigration and Customs Enforcement filed paperwork to detain only about a quarter of them.

In a story published Sunday, The Houston Chronicle found that most illegal immigrants released from jail were accused of minor crimes. But others included convicted child molesters, rapists and those ordered to be deported decades ago.

ICE officials said they are doing the best they can with their resources.

Report: Thousands of Illegal Immigrants Freed From Texas Jail

This is a CERTAIN FACT, many of these ILLEGALS will be rearrested in no time at all. Crime is their life and crime is ALL they do! And I have to wonder, what will the headline be if one or more of these ILLEGALS commits a murder, or several on some innocent citizens?

ICE officials said they are doing the best they can with their resources.

That may well be the truth too! Given the financial situation that we are facing here in America today, given the fact that our MORON in Chief loves him some wetbacks, given the fact that our MORON elect loves HIM some wetbacks too, maybe ICE is saddled with a lot more than they can get to!

Any efforts made to stem the tide of ILLEGALS in this nation, any done under MORON 43’s administration, was nothing more than a hollow effort, one made simply to *appear* to be *doing something*, and done in an attempt to pacify the LEGAL, and REAL citizens of this nation, you and me!

In releasing 3,500 ILLEGALS back onto the streets of Houston, and thus onto the citizens of Texas, it appears that there has been a huge breakdown in our Homeland Security. I don’t suppose that anyone can offer any hope that *The One* will do a thing different?? I mean, he is NOT going to alienate his future voting base I am guessing.

Folks, I am NOT a revolutionary, I am NOT an anarchist, I have been accused of inciting violence against ILLEGALS before though, by stating that I firmly believe that they need to be shot on sight as they cross our border, but that is NOT an incitement of violence, that is simply a statement of opinion and a wish to see this nation properly defended.

I do NOT believe that the following paragraph is an incitement of violence either, but if some FAUX intellectuals want to interpret it as such, so be it.

We, the armed citizens of Texas, are about to have to defend our homes, families and freedoms, if the government can’t protect us from this ILLEGAL HORDE, then it is going to be up to us to protect ourselves as we exercise our given rights under The Castle Doctrine!

Factory had tension between union, immigrants

Factory had tension between union, immigrants

LAUREL, Miss. - Union bosses in this region of rural Mississippi have long grumbled that the largest factories here hire illegal immigrants, and that the immigrants were starting to get more overtime and supervisory positions.

Friction between the union and immigrant workers, along with a tipoff at an electrical manufacturing plant, boiled over this week into the biggest workplace immigration raid in the nation’s history.

When the first of the 595 suspected illegal immigrants was taken into custody Monday, some fellow workers broke into applause. A spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said the investigation started three years ago after agents received a tip from a union member.

Factory had tension between union, immigrants

This is the 1st time in my life I have ever said a good word regarding a union, any union, but that is about to change.

I don’t know what the real story is, all we have is “he said, on conditions of anonymity“, and quite frankly, I don’t care who did it or why they did it. This is the 1st time that I can remember a union actually doing something GOOD for the American worker.

I don’t care how many more ILLEGALS ICE rounds up, they’ll never get them all, and it will never be enough, but this is a great start. And lets face facts, you have to start somewhere, and again, quite frankly, I am surprised that our amnesty loving POTUS didn’t try to step in and stop this from happening, George W. Bush seriously loves him some ILLEGALS, Mexicans in particular.

Contacted Wednesday, Howard Industries referred reporters to the statement it issued Monday, which said the company “runs every check allowed to ascertain the immigration status of all applicants for its jobs. It is company policy that it hires only U.S. citizens and legal immigrants.”

Apparently NOT!! 595 suspected illegal immigrants were taken into custody Monday, that doesn’t speak very well for your employment office, it’s staff or their efforts in ascertaining the status of at least 595 of your employees.

That press release is nothing more than an attempt by some higher ranking officials with Howard Industries at covering their own asses.

“I need a job and got kids. I heard that they need some help now,” said Willie Keys, 20, who applied Wednesday. “All them Mexicans got fired because they didn’t have a pass … All these businesses have been taking Americans’ jobs.”

I have to disagree with ya there Willie, maybe you don’t understand, maybe you didn’t know how to say it just right, whatever, but the businesses haven’t been taking American jobs, the businesses are creating jobs in America and then giving them to the ILLEGALS.

And now it’s time for ICE to do an even more comprehensive investigation. Hold the company, and it’s officials responsible. Make an example out of them and let it be known, this is how we’re going to be doing it from now on. If you break the laws of this land, you pay up! And it’s about time too!

There are Americans that will do these jobs. There are Americans that will be quite happy to join the union and pay dues, and they will quite likely be happy to work whatever overtime is necessary to get the jobs done. And the money they make will be going back into the American economy, as opposed to that of many ILLEGALS, the ones that live and work here, on a shoestring, as they send the bulk of their money out of the USA.

Fear grips immigrants after Miss. plant raid

Fear grips immigrants after Miss. plant raid
LAUREL, Miss. - A day after the largest single-workplace immigration raid in U.S. history, Elizabeth Alegria was too scared to send her son to school and worried about when she’d see her husband again.

Nearly 600 immigrants suspected of being in the country illegally were detained, creating panic among dozens of families in this small southern Mississippi town.

Alegria, 26, a Mexican immigrant, was working at the Howard Industries transformer plant Monday when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents stormed in. When they found out she has two sons, ages 4 and 9, she was fitted with a bracelet and told to appear in federal court next month. But her husband, Andres, wasn’t so lucky.

“I’m very traumatized because I don’t know if they are going to let my husband go and when I will see him,” Alegria said through a translator Tuesday as she returned to the Howard Industries parking lot to retrieve her sport utility vehicle.

The superintendent of the county school district said about half of approximately 160 Hispanic students were absent Tuesday.

Fear grips immigrants after Miss. plant raid

Well Boo freaking Hoo, the ILLEGALS are all afraid because those mean old ICE Officers came in and did their job. It just breaks my heart. Poor little Pedro and Juan didn’t sleep well and couldn’t hold down a breakfast burrito worried that Papasito might not ever come back.

Does it sound as if I am a bit calloused to the plight of the ILLEGAL?? If it does, it’s probably because I am. More than a bit calloused actually. I have been blogging for over 2 years now and the entire time I have had immigration, ILLEGAL immigration, as one of my hot button topics.

There are many real Americans in this nation that see nothing wrong with the influx of ILLEGALS that IS crippling this nation. And it’s not just those that claim to be libbers, there’s been a few folks that champion the cause of the ILLEGAL INVADERS that claim to be Conservatives.

Now there is no way that any REAL Conservative would do such a thing so we know that their claims of American Conservatism are lies, but none the less, these folks take the side of the ILLEGAL INVADER and denigrate, as well as threaten those of us that have the GALL to call for hard action against these individuals.

I am all for deportation of all ILLEGALS. I am all for a full militarization of our borders. I am all for shooting ANYTHING or ANYONE that crosses our border at anything other than a LEGAL border crossing. I don’t care what happens to the invaders of our nation, I simply don’t care. They are an infestation and we need to call in Super Orkin for a bit of pest control!

But we need to do it soon, otherwise I don’t suppose it matters too much anymore, after the next election we’re going to have an amnesty approving POTUS, no matter which way the election falls, and the ILLEGALS won’t be ILLEGAL too much longer. They’re going to become the new voting block that keeps the Dems and Dem Lite, the Republicans, in office.

Some folks seriously need to consider this: they are called ILLEGALS for a reason, “No man is above the law and no man is below it: nor do we ask any man’s permission when we ask him to obey it.” ~Theodore Roosevelt~

Immigration agency vows more enforcement

August 22nd, 2008 . by TexasFred
Immigration agency vows more enforcement

SANTA ANA, Calif. - Federal immigration officials vowed Friday to intensify efforts to track down illegal immigrants after scrapping a trial “self-deportation” program that attracted only eight volunteers.

Though the 2 1/2-week effort produced few volunteer deportees among illegal immigrants who are under court orders to leave the country, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement official said his agency will arrest more of them this year than last — and still more next year as more agents are assigned.

“We are going to continue our enforcement of immigration law whether it is convenient for people, or whether it’s not convenient,” Jim Hayes, ICE’s acting director of detention and removal operations, told reporters.

“Congress has mandated that we enforce these laws and that is what we intend to do,” he said.

Immigrant advocates accused ICE of using the failure of the “Scheduled Departure” program to justify raids that have caused many illegal immigrants to live in fear of a pre-dawn knock on the door. They ridiculed the self-deportation program, saying it gave people no incentive to surrender.

Immigration agency vows more enforcement

Voluntary self-deportation? Now there’s a joke. Not a funny joke, but a joke none the less.

Anyone that even remotely expected voluntary self-deportation to work must have been drinking the bong water. This kind of makes me think of those weapons for food programs a few cities have tried. They offer free food and whatnot and the Boyz in Da’ Hood are supposed to bring in their Mac-10’s and AK’s in return for some gratuitous handouts.

What happens is, Da’ Boyz send the Baby Mama with some POS worn out .22 revolver that hasn’t worked since Huey P. Long was Governor of Louisiana, the Baby Mama gets the food or whatever, Da’ Boyz keep their serious weapons and the PC minded idiots get to hold up a box full of junk and claim some kind of moral victory.

It’s just like that bunch of ILLEGALS in Pasadena that are all up in the air because the Pasadena P.D. is actually enforcing the law, vehicular codes to be exact. They seem to think that they can break the law, 1st by being here as ILLEGALS, and then seem to think they are due some kind of immunity while driving their broken down and uninsured POS Tijuana Taxis.

Here’s what I think needs to be done in regards to deportation of the ILLEGALS that are an infestation on this nation. Round em up and march em to the border, send em across the border, back to their homeland, man the border with troops, law enforcement personnel, Border Patrol,whatever, and shoot any of em that try to come back into this nation at anything OTHER than a LEGAL U.S. border crossing.

We don’t need any more laws in America, we don’t need any more rules and/or regulations, we have more than enough laws and programs on the books, what we need is a government that has the BALLS to fully enforce the laws we already have.

So, tell me, why are some people so surprised when the laws of this land are enforced and when ridiculous programs such as this voluntary self-deportation thing fail miserably? If the arrest and deportation of ILLEGALS bothers the ILLEGALS, all they have to do is get LEGAL, or leave, one way or another.

I personally will welcome LEGAL immigrants with open arms. I have absolutely NO problems with lawbreakers suffering whatever fate awaits them.
