Not sure I want illegal aliens on the front lines protecting me. I understand the point you’re trying to make, but I want to be sure whose side they are on…

I’m afraid to say that these comments have everything to do with e-verify. There wouldn’t be any need to even have an e-verify system if we didn’t have so many illegal aliens in this country who undermine the ability of “True American’s” to earn a decent wage. Although some like “Query” have posed all these questions that HR directors would like to ahve answered, the fact of the matter is that American’s don’t want to pick fruits and vegetables because it doesn’t pay enough, probably in most cases minimum wage- who can live on that? Furthermore, minimum wage to “illegals from south of the border” has much more buying power when they send their money south than what it does here giving them more flexibility to work for these low wages which is not equitable to the Citizens of the United States. These are the real issues.

QUERY—you seem to have addressed the current problem that most have overlooked.

Rampant drug and alcohol use among workers is subverting safety and productivity in the workplace, and destroying families.

Drug abuse is not a victimless crime.

The below statement from the E-Verify article is incorrect.

“Of course, companies can sign up whenever they want, so current or prospective federal contractors might as well enroll before they’re required to.
When you enroll, choose “federal contractor” when asked, “Which category best describes your organization?”

You can sign up for E-Verify prior to receiving your first federal contract with the FAR clause, but you must sign up voluntarily, which will allow you to do verifications on new hires only. You can’t sign up as a federal contractor until you have received a contract that includes the FAR clause, regardless to whether you have current federal contracts. When you receive your first contract with the FAR clause, you can change your status to federal contractor and then begin checking current employees working directly on the federal contract.

So, the country does little to keep illigal immigrants out, wants to help them with healthcare and other social programs, yet if a company gets caught hiring illegals, that company gets in trouble. ?? They’re here, and our congress seems to not mind all that much that they are here, yet they won’t allow US companies to hire them — it begins to look like the congress wants them to be taken care of by taxpayers.

I am HR people, doing my job………..and I think this is important, because we NEED to get rid of all the illegals on someone’s payroll in America! The best thing I would offer up, Give EVERY MAN and WOMAN a United States issued armed force uniform. Off to boot camp and FOUR years in an armed force, NO PAY (we’re supporting them already, we’ll make sure they are clothed and fed in the services). After 4 years fighting for our country, they can take an oath to become a U.S. citisen and then begin to understand how poor we are because of the likes of themselves. They will help this country become stronger against the illegals that just want something for nothing~! ALL illegal aliens should be FORCED to fight for this country…..so they cab say “I FOUGHT FOR MY FREEDOM, MY COUNTRY’S FREEDOM.
