Despite Rising Unemployment, DHS Prepares for Amnesty

[spookyturtle 9,466]

Just shows how smart you are, this is an off topic subject and nothing to do with 'my' immigration process. I'm done with it the legal way!! D.A.

I can ask you the same?

I think that granting anmesty to the illegals is a slap in the face to all those who have suffered through the process legally. I know they can't deport 15 million people, but there is no way in hell they should get a free pass either. If were tougher for them to stay here, the problem would largely take care of itself. We're not talking cruelty here, we're merely enforcing the law.

I would say that most are NOT paid under the table. They work for real companies, big name restaurants, and have fake documentation. They get real checks and taxes are taken out. In my wife's current job as well as her previous job not only was the entire kitchen staff ILLEGALS; in both jobs the manager of the kitchen staff was/is also an ILLEGAL!! Matter of fact, in her past job the employer is listed and trades every day on the NASDAQ composite. I know it is hard to believe, but it is true.

If that is the case, that is a joke. These jobs should be going to Americans.

I seriously cannot believe that shlt is allowed to go on.

It shouldn't be going on. E-verify should be mandatory. Employers should be fined for knowingly hiring illegal workers. If they can't work, they won't come and those that are here will go home.

Yeah you would think?

Obama, Napolitano Scrap DHS No-Match Rule, Affirm E-Verify Rule for Federal Contractors

The Obama Administration and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) made two policy announcements this week. The first will help illegal aliens keep their current jobs and make it easier for illegal aliens to commit Social Security fraud. The second merely restates a Bush-era regulation regarding the use of E-Verify by federal contractors.

Oh noes...the world is going to end. Haven't you got better things to worry about? How this effects your immigration process is beyond me.

Good for you. Wait until you meet all your wife's relatives living abroad, see which ones have been here for years undocumented. Undocumented workers are an issue across the globe and it is an economic problem. Providing those who have been here working for years, a chance to legitimize their residency is the right thing to do. It is the pragmatic thing to do. Why not focus your anger on those who drove our economy to sh!t? Why target those who are just trying to survive?

Suffered? That's a bit melodramatic, spooks. There is no correlation between your immigration process and the millions of undocumented workers who are here. It's just they have become the scapegoat for the economic downturn we are in, when the reality is that they actually boost the economy. If you could snap your fingers and make them all disappear, our economy would be in even worse shape than it is now. That's 45 million consumers, removed from our consumer driven economy.

That is great news. What else do the millions of Americans out of work or in poverty need than even more unskilled labor to compete with.

I am sure, as usual they will claim they are putting measures in place to ensure this does not happen again; which we know is a bunch of bullcrap. While in another 10 to 15 years the US is at the same place. Only difference is that by then rather than 50 million in poverty, 80 million will be living in poverty.

This is just another conscription of slave labor. Giving amnesty will make these people legal, then they will demand minimum wage (or more) and cannot compete with Americans. The current illegal workers will be tossed out of work when they demand higher wages and will be replaced by a new flood of illegal immigrants to work cheaply. The new legal immigrants will be eligible to be dependent on the government making many new votes for Democrats among their family and friends. Republicans will have a new wave of illegal immigrants to work cheaply and everyone will be happy. It will have little effect on the ucrrent job situation, except for illegal immigrants who will be replaced by the new illegal immigrants.

When the country (politicians) wish to get serious about this and stop using slaves as a political football, they will impose a $500,000 per day tax on each illegal immigrant employed. Seize busineses and property to pay the tax. The economic incentive will immediately halt, the illegals will return to where they CAN work (all by themselves, the same way they got here) and the situation will be solved. Slavery will be ended once and for all. But until the economic penalty outweighs the economic risk, employers will continue to seek illegal (cheap, basically slave) labor and the illegals will continue to respond to he economis call. No amount of fence will keep them out. No need for deproting anyone. They came here for economic reasons and they will leave for economic reasons.

I am appalled at the lack of respect shown to our fellow man in continuing this aberation of holding people as second class citizens, living in poor conditions, unable to report abuse. It is nothing more than the continuation of slavery in this country without the need to house or care for the slaves or the need to buy them. It is racist, and inhumane.

It is not about jobs, Our good jobs are being shipped overseas legally to avoid draconian taxes, we are exporting good jobs OUT. THOSE are the jobs WE need. But politicians want you to be distracted by the jobs issue while they feed their personal interests (dependent voters and/or cheap labor).

Gte a clue. About every 20 years or so we need to draft more illegals into slavery. Such is the price of maintaining anunderclass, it has to be refilled every so often and this is oh so more efficient than slave ships. It is about that time.

Funny how you imply they are slaves when they are illegal’s working for a wage in the US illegally.

Slaves:

Somebody forced to work for another: somebody who is forced to work for somebody else for no payment and is regarded as the property of that person

You live in Hawaii, correct? There are a lot of undocumented Filipinos there whether you realize or not. I'd encourage to hear their stories about why and I think you'll have a different attitude about it. On the flip side, the Philippines has been infiltrated by outsiders for a long time. Immigration happens and may not always be so neatly signed, sealed and delivered - the way you like it to be.

[HYENA 4]

Having a steady flow of immigrants into this country actually boosts our economy. It's just that in this economic downturn, people like you are looking for a scapegoat. You should direct your anger at those responsible for driving this economy into the ground, not immigrants....especially given the fact that you yourself are importing a spouse.

yes, I agree with colnel poopoo!

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

Amnesty legislation in an election year? Fat chance.

On the other hand, the Obama administration is gearing up on their efforts to enforce employment laws putting illegal immigrants out of work and freeing up much needed jobs for Americans and those here legally.

If I was to profile by race as you are, then your statement is wrong!

I don’t see any facts about your statement “There are a lot of undocumented Filipinos” show me hard facts your only racially profiling one race, very few are here undocumented, it’s much harder to travel over 5,000 miles to Hawaii then it is for a Mexican to walk 10 feet and be in the US undocumented.

The largest percentage, if we base this on percentages in Hawaii would be White Non-Hispanic (20.0%) ‘mostly from Europe’ as you can clearly see Filipinos are 4th on the list, a small percentage.

Top 101 counties with the highest percentage of residents relocating from foreign countries between 2005 and 2006Races in Honolulu County, Hawaii:

White Non-Hispanic (20.0%)

Two or more races (19.9%)

Japanese (18.4%)

Filipino (14.2%)

Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander (8.9%)

Hispanic (6.7%)

Chinese (6.1%)

Other Asian (3.9%)

Korean (2.5%)

Black (2.4%)

American Indian (1.8%)

Other race (1.3%)

Vietnamese (0.8%)

When we look at the percentage in CA we find it much different, take notices of the foot note at the bottom.

Races in Marin County, California:

White Non-Hispanic (78.6%)

American Indian (1.1%)

Japanese (0.7%)

Filipino (0.6%)

(Total can be greater than 100% because Hispanics could be counted in other races)
