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

Posted By RedRiverJ 11 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.

      Not your fruit picking or 'jobs Americans will not do' type of jobs. These are jobs that over 650,000 out of work Americans might think should go to some American citizens.

      sign up, call your senators and tell them you do not want your tax dollars being used to give away jobs that are needed by our citizens.

        The Chamber of Commerce and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops are lobbying the Senate to ensure that businesses can use Stimulus money to hire illegal aliens.

          Don't think that's what Obama had in mind.

          Keep Religion out of our government!

      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.

              Why do you think the congress did this at night? So they can ram their will down our throats and once they do it's too late, it's done.

              People really need to wake up, this is a threat to our very way of life. The democrats will do anything to be the majority. They know poor people will vote for them because they are the give away party, they will dole out entitlements to poor people, use them, promise them anything to get them to vote for them.

              That's what this is all about. Votes.

              Carlos Slim Helú, the Mexican telecommunications billionaire, and his family have acquired a 6.4 percent stake in The New York Times Company. So we can expect PRO BIAS for illegal amnesty from the times.

              In 1970, nine percent of California's population was foreign born. Now it is an astounding 28 percent, and most of the new voters are Democrats.

              So the Dems now control power in California. It is a virtual one-party state — its 55 electoral votes a lock for the Democrats.

              New York is almost a one-party state, that's 31 electoral votes. Illinois, controlled by Democrats, another 21 electoral votes.

              If blanket amnesty is passed, the Democratic ranks in places like Colorado, Arizona, Nevada and Florida will explode, putting our two-party system in jeopardy. That's exactly what The Times envisions.

              And guess who is also a big blanket amnesty guy? Hey, there, George Soros. The far-left billionaire has donated big money to open border groups.

              And then there's the ACLU, actively working against many laws that constrain illegal immigration, and opposing strict border enforcement.

              So let's add this up. The Times, Soros, the ACLU. Quite a lineup.

              If these people succeed in getting blanket amnesty passed for illegals and their families living abroad, the political system in America will change forever.

              That's why The Times has branded me a racist — because I have unmasked them. They can't deny it, so they trot out the smear machine. A very troubling situation.

                Interesting;
                "They know poor people will vote for them because they are the give away party, they will dole out entitlements to poor people, use them, promise them anything to get them to vote for them."
                In effect; 'the vote goes to he who has the money to hand out'. Buying votes?????

                So if, politically and fiscally, a person does not agree with that policy, buying votes through programs for the immigrant and indigenous poor, then they are now a 'Racist'. In effect; Racism is now determined by political and fiscal beliefs

                The word 'Racist' used to mean.(Merriam Webster); a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.

                Interesting how the definition and therefore use,of the word 'Racist' has been changed by our current presidential primaries and election.

                Interesting how the meaning of certain words can be changed to suit the political needs of the controlling political party. Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union did the same thing. Now America is also.

                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.
