current Senate Stimulus bill would give 300,000 construction jobs to illegal aliens »

Posted By RedRiverJ 9 months ago in News

Famed analyst Robert Rector of the Heritage Foundation has just released an estimate that the stimulus bill on the Senate floor would provide construction jobs to roughly 300,000 illegal aliens.

A Heritage Foundation release states that the travesty could be largely avoided if the Senate would adopt an amendment similar to one that passed the House requiring all recipients of stimulus money to use the E-Verify system.

    FTA-Sounds crazy but that is just business as usual.

    While hundreds of thousands of American construction workers are unemployed, businesses across America continue to employ illegal aliens and will be allowed to use Stimulus money to hire hundreds of thousands more illegal aliens.

    And how much money was spent to set up the E-verify program?? Why bother! What a sham
    When is the public going to wake up???

    It isn't only the illegals. The Feds have not suspended the various work visas either

    H1B - Typical H-1B occupations include architects, engineers, computer programmers, accountants, doctors and college professors

    H2B - fill labor needs in occupational areas such as construction, health care, landscaping, lumber, manufacturing, food service/processing, and resort/hospitality services.

          My state is now requiring proof of citizenship to renew or obtain a nursing license. How illegals are obtaining licenses is really a scary thought.

            There is nothing any one senator can do about hiring illegals its like trying to keep the mafia from manipulating the construction business and probably the mob is behind paying low wages to illegals anyway!

                The states should only hire natural born (natives) citizens first, then the people that have moved to the state by trade, then after each state has taken care of their own, if we still need help we can hire from outside the USA....we need to lower our spending, get back to a simple life, take care of our own and make sure the poor do not go hungry. If you are truly able to work you work. Then as we come together as the UNITED States of America we will all have a healthy state to bring in to the Congress. If a state is having problems then we intercede and deal. The most important issue we can do as Americans is KEEP GOD in the country. KEEP GOD as our motto. Pursue avenues to BRING GOD back to our country.

                This is only a bit of what I have to add.....more later

                  What about the banks? What is happening with that money? If the banks would FREE UP/LOAN money to the people then the economy could turn around. I have first hand knowledge with projects that have been shut down because of the down turn in the market and the people funding the projects lost funds and had to stop the funding on the projects due to the great losses. So in turn the trickle down effect of the trades all being out of work. The banks need to loan for these projects so the trades can go back to work, the retail can begin to pick up and then the money is freed up for people to refi and get on with life. Are we going to get an accounting for the money the banks have or is that history along with the prior cabinet and now we are on to more of the no work deal. We as Americans need answers. We need the banks to free up the money and get the economy kick started.
