Shanta,
Of course illegal immigrants do work that U.S. citizens won’t do. Do you know why? They earn minimum wage and when they send their money back to Mexico, it is worth a whole lot more there (has much more buying power than what it does here). This undermines the ability of American’s to earn a decent wage. Not equitable and not fair. Who would want to work hard and break their back on jobs that wouldn’t even provide ones needs?

Is this a political forum? My employer does hire immigrants. It is very difficult to determine the authenticity of a document without very good training and a microscope. Which we do not have. It has been several years since we received any No-Match letters. I am sure that does not mean we have none. If they do not send the no match letter, they do not have to enforce their policy. We could do e-verify, but we are not required to do so. So, we do not. This is like “don’t ask, don’t tell.”
Oh and the immigrants do not pay much in taxes. They like to claim Married and 6 on their W-4.
And the ones that do file a tax return, get huge refunds. They can claim all the people the supposedly are supporting back home. They are not required to furnish social sec. numbers for dependents, just a letter from two wittnesses back home. Some of you internet wizards should try to look into that. Not Fair!!!

Lori… my point exactly! NONE of the illegals have what it takes an American to serve! But yet, they do want the American Way and our hard earn benefits. I totally agree with Brittancus. Britt, keep it loud, keep your voice heard. We are right behind you!

Illlegals serving in the Military? Please…who fed you that load of crap and how could you possibly believe it? I don’t believe that for one second! If it’s true then the U.S. is breaking it’s own law.

Brittanicus
I agree with Sandra. Why don’t you look around and you will see what some of these people are doing that the unemployed Americans don’t want to do. Of course they are paying taxes and guess what the Social Security pool is keeping the funds that the employer/employees are paying into. Illegals will never be able to collect those benefits

I have a question for Sandra. Do you know a ball park number of illegals serving in the Military?

From another legal immigrant, yes and yes, Lori and Brittanicus. Those of us that are going through the legal process to attempt to bring family members that could actually add value to our society (educated, hard working, English speaking and not planning to live on welfare) agree that a path to citizenship should only include those who have respected and honor US law and who are committed not only to benefit from the system but to become an engaged citizen or resident of this nation.

Cudos Brittancus! Sandra, it is you who are ignorant – get your head out of the sand and take a good hard look at what is happening. It’s already too late for California and legislators refuse to do something about it. 20 years ago, illegals would come in to my little agricultural community and pick the fruit and then they would move north into Oregon and Washington for work and then they would all return to Mexico – only to come back during the next season. Now they live here, illegally sucking off of our health system and our school system. It’s happening all around us and California is suffering for it although people in power have special interests to attend to and they never really experience what is happening in this real world. Until they do something it’s only going to get worse! Have you been to an urgent care clinic – or emergency room? Hospitals are going bancrupt because they can no longer afford to take in non-paying patients. Illegals are taxing the system to the limits and beyond and the taxes that they pay is nothing compared with what it costs every taxpayer to maintain their lives. It’s not their fault – we let it happen. I’d be here for all of the freebees too if I were them! Being a LEGAL immigrant myself, I resent them being here and the very thought of this amnesty crap. How do you get them out? ONE BY ONE!

Brittancus,

You might have a better chance of making your point if you wrote more concisely, proofread your comments, and refrained from misusing the question mark.

Such issues as immigration reform and health care should not be left to a thrall of politicians, who many do not have the public interest at the heart in these matters? Already we have seen this materialize with the original under-funding of our main enforcement–THE BORDER FENCE CONSTRUCTION and the weakening of the illegal worker identifier–E-VERIFY? As it always happens the status-quo have always have the monetary inroads in influencing our legislators, leaving the general population to be startled by a new law enacted, before they have a chance to respond. It really doesn’t matter who is the majority party, the American people remain alienated from secret wheeling and dealing. H.R. bills and amendments are passed in Washington chambers, but the real payout takes place behind closed doors.

This happened when Sen. Harry Reid, Speaker Pelosi used their power to under-fund E-Verify or even kill it? Then in California right now–the SANCTUARY STATE–E-Verify is under a great deal of pressure, not to implement it. Assembly member Paul Fong (Cupertino) would prohibit the state, local governments, and special districts in California from requiring an employer to use the federal “E-Verify” system, even when that employer is a contractor to the government. This is typical at state or federal level, no matter the monetary consequences to the US worker. California residents should immobilize this idiot, and threaten him losing when it’s time for re-election. SAY NO to AB 1288

Right now as I comment Homeland Security Janet Napolitano is looking for ways, to undermine the ICE raids and 287(g) the local police enforcement law as seen with Sheriff Joe Ariapo in Maricopa County, Arizona and in other states. I thought the whole idea of Homeland Security, along with our politicians when they took the oath of allegiance, was to protect us all. Even the–NO MATCH LETTER–has been compromised. Everything that really works–is CRUSHED! It’s more like they are out to protect the interests of the US Chamber of Commerce, Council of Foreign Relations, ACLU and all the open border, special interest groups, including millions of jobs for illegal immigrants into our country. GOOGLE—about their—REAL—INTENTIONS?

They are already showing their true unpatriotic colors, by trying to force through another disastrous immigration reform law. They keep telling us that the 1986 Simpson/mazzoli bill is broken, yet it was never enforced by any president after Ronald Reagan signed it into law. Nor would good old Ted Kennedy sponsored it, if it didn’t ring true? It’s just another trick; to legalize “God Knows” how many illegal aliens will swarm the immigration agencies. How many their really are? Which is anybodies guess, will costs trillions of dollars to support these illiterate people in the majority of cases.

Not the pariah farmers or the businesses that do the hiring, but the taxpayer will have to foot the bill and the millions more who the lay siege to the border–once the word AMNESTY is heard. Now it’s up to the American people to demand–NO MORE AMNESTIES! GOOGLE–illegal immigration and financial costs, because the public is constantly fed propaganda from the Liberals. Call your state or federal representative today! 202-224-3121 in addition to sign the petition for California, to stop billions of welfare benefits, to the overrun State at TAXPAYER REVOLUTION.
