Some in Congress are once again trying to push piecemeal immigration reform through the back door. Sen. Diane Feinstein of California attached a farm worker program to the multibillion dollar Iraq war funding bill yesterday which would grant temporary amnesty to 1.3 million farm workers and their families over the next five years.

QUOTE FROM ARTICLE:

“Despite E-Verify’s growing popularity, two influential Democrats voiced concern over the program. Ranking Subcommittee Member Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) stated that the majority of agriculture jobs in America are held by undocumented workers. Congressman Conyers (D-MI), Ranking Member of the full Judiciary Committee, echoed the Lofgren’s sentiments, stating that most illegal aliens are performing jobs that Americans are unwilling to do. Agriculture is the primary industry speaking out about the adverse effects of a mandatory verification system. (National Journal, Feb. 10, 2011) “

Government Officials Testify on the Accuracy of E-Verify

Last week, the House Subcommittee on Immigration Policy and Enforcement convened to hear testimony on the progress of the E-verify work authorization program. The hearing, entitled “E-Verify – Preserving Jobs for American Workers,” featured testimony from Ms. Theresa Bertucci, an associate director at United States Center for Immigration Services (USCIS), and Mr. Richard Stana, director of Homeland Security and Justice Issues at the Government Accountability Office (GAO).

Chairman of the Subcommittee, Representative Elton Gallegly (R-CA) began the meeting by noting that there are 14 million unemployed Americans in today’s economy. In order to prevent increasing numbers of illegal aliens from competing for the scarce number of jobs available, he said we must first enforce our current immigration laws and remove the magnet drawing illegal aliens to the United States. Of course, the biggest magnet for illegal aliens is the possibility of jobs. Chairman Gallegly expressed concern that without mandatory use of E-Verify, there are insufficient consequences for companies who hire illegal aliens.

USCIS Associate Director Bertucci then updated members on the E-Verify program. She explained that E-verify is a fast, free, internet-based program which allows employers to electronically verify employee information with Social Security Administration (SSA), Department of State and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) records. The program verifies that an employee is legal status to work in the U.S. Ms. Bertucci stated that even though E-Verify is currently a voluntary program, more than 246,000 employers are enrolled with more than 1,300 employers joining each week. These numbers represent 11 percent of the nation’s employers.

Despite E-Verify’s growing popularity, two influential Democrats voiced concern over the program. Ranking Subcommittee Member Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) stated that the majority of agriculture jobs in America are held by undocumented workers. Congressman Conyers (D-MI), Ranking Member of the full Judiciary Committee, echoed the Lofgren’s sentiments, stating that most illegal aliens are performing jobs that Americans are unwilling to do. Agriculture is the primary industry speaking out about the adverse effects of a mandatory verification system. (National Journal, Feb. 10, 2011)

Representatives Lofgren and Conyers also questioned the error rate of program and expressed fear of potential “false negative” results. False negative results occur when E-verify incorrectly indicates an individual is not authorized to work in the United States. However, director Stana from GAO presented statistics confirming E-verify’s effectiveness. He that that of all the inquiries made through E-verify, 97.4 percent of employees are confirmed automatically as authorized to work. (GAO Testimony before the Subcommittee on Immigration, Policy and Enforcement at 4) Only .3 percent of the employees checked through E-verify receive tentative non-confirmations and then are later found to actually be eligible for employment. (Id.)

Congressman Lamar Smith (R-TX), Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, spoke out in favor of E-verify. He focused on the importance of the program during a time of economic hardship in America, reminding the Subcommittee that unemployment has remained at over nine percent for 21 months. He noted that over seven million people are working in the United States illegally, while families of American citizens are getting worried over the ongoing scarcity of jobs. (See Pew Hispanic Center, Apr. 14, 2009) Congressman Smith argued that the few jobs which are available should go to legal workers.

Congressman Smith also pointed out that he uses E-verify when hiring his staff, as all members of Congress are required to do. He promoted its use as easy and free. A recent survey of employers reported similar findings among employers who use E-verify. Ms. Bertucci shared testified ony that employers scored E-verify as an 82 out of a possible 100 on an American Customer Satisfaction Index Survey in 2010. The federal government only scored a 69 percent on the same survey. The American Customer Service Index is a survey which uses customer interviews to measure customer satisfaction and predict customer loyalty. (See American Customer Satisfaction Index)

READER OF THE WASHINGTON POST WRITES:





I know an illegal making over $2,000 a week at an auto upholstery shop. That's over 100K yearly! How many of our college-grad teachers earn that much? Most Americans DON'T.



And he told me he sends almost 90 percent of his paycheck home to his family in Mexico City, while living here with a "girlfriend" collecting welfare and food stamps.



Plus, he conserves his paycheck further by getting "free" food, clothing, etc. from taxpayer-funded agencies and church donations intended for our own needy people.

But how can she justify her position on trying to give amnesty and everything else [even a Dream Act to go to college for Chrissakes!] to the over 20 million illegals in the U.S., so as to encourage them to invite all their extended family members and job-stealing amigos to come here too?



Pelosi sends mixed signals to those she is supposed to be serving, by instead serving the interests of foreign nationals here illegally.



How can the Democrats claim in good faith that they are truly concerned about our country's economy as long as they are trying to do things that wreak havoc upon it?

He even got one taxpayer-funded Latin Community group to pay for his CELLPHONE! So he can stay in touch with his family.



The illegal alien's name is Ruben. And that car upholstery shop has a "phantom workforce" to supplement its legally employed workforce, which is all they report for tax purposes. Ruben's brother also works there.



Here's how he gets paid: If the shop charges a customer $1500 to re-upholster car seats, and it only takes Ruben 3 hours to do it, he gets HALF. So he gets paid about $250 per hour. And both Ruben and the shop are quite happy with their arrangement.



I reported it, giving the name and location of the shop, to my Democrat federal senator's office, asking them to investigate and prosecute. But they ignored my request... which is typical of most Democrats and many Republicans in Congress. For they are deliberately turning a blind eye to it.



This is far from an isolated example. Illegals are not only stealing high-paying skilled blue-collar type jobs, but also many illegals own their own businesses [construction, home improvement, landscaping, auto repair, roofing, paving, janitorial services, housekeeping, etc., etc.].



Next time you're in Home Depot or Lowes, look for illegals there getting supplies for their plumbing jobs, etc.



I have a friend who tried starting a janitorial services business. But he gave up after a few months, telling me he couldn't compete with illegals paying their illegal employees $3 an hour.



Another illegal near me was selling used cars with open titles, parking them at a shopping center with "for sale" signs on anywhere from one to three cars at a time. And he was selling them quickly. Every week I saw different cars. But I reported it to my state's motor vehicle department, and about a month later they towed his cars away and warned the shopping center to not let anyone sell cars there.



In Pelosi's state she has allowed them to bankrupt over 100 hospitals and to render California's infrastructure virtually gasping for its breath.

Breaking News: New Florida Gov. Signs E-Verify Order



"Immediately after being sworn-in as Florida's 45th governor, Gov. Rick Scott fulfilled campaign promises by signing executive orders to freeze job-killing regulations and require state agencies to verify legal immigration status. He also established a tough new ethics policy and affirmed his commitment to diversity in employment," says a press release from the Governor's office.

"Executive Order No. 11-02 requires state agencies to use the E-Verify system verify employment eligibility of state employees and contractors."

Blocking Illegal Immigrants

To the Editor:

Re “Immigration Hardball” (editorial, Nov. 15):

America has a wonderful tradition of welcoming newcomers. We admit more than one million legal immigrants every year, almost as many as all other countries combined. But immigration policy should put Americans first. Enforcing current immigration laws does just that.

Your editorial states that an enforcement-minded approach to preventing illegal immigration “mocks American values,” but the opposite is true. In fact, enforcing the current laws against illegal immigration is consistent with the ultimate American value — the rule of law.

And doing so will reduce taxpayer costs for health care, education, social services and criminal justice. And it could open up the seven million jobs currently held by illegal immigrants for American workers and legal immigrants.

Paying less in taxes and providing additional jobs for Americans hardly “mocks American values.”

The danger, as Washington Post economics columnist Robert Samuelson argues, is that of “importing poverty” in the form of a new underclass—a permanent group of working poor.

“We could cut unemployment in half simply by reclaiming the jobs taken by illegal workers,” said Representative Lamar Smith of Texas, co-chairman of the Reclaim American Jobs Caucus. “President Obama is on the wrong side of the American people on immigration. The president should support policies that help citizens and legal immigrants find the jobs they need and deserve rather than fail to enforce immigration laws.”

“Obama’s rejection of any serious jobs program is part of a conscious class war policy. Two years after the financial crisis and the multi-trillion dollar bailout of the banks, the administration is spearheading a campaign by corporations to sharply increase the exploitation of the working class, using the “new normal” of mass unemployment to force workers to accept lower wages, longer hours, and more brutal working conditions.” WSWS.ORG

E-Verify- the single most successful federal program aimed at keeping illegal immigrants out o the workforce- is once again threatened. This time, E-Verify was stripped from a Senate Amendment behind closed doors and without explanation. Instead of becoming a permanent program E-verify has been reduced to only three years. Critics are calling this a stall tactic and an attempt at killing an employment enforcement system. We will have a full report tonight.

The Obama administration could be weakening a successful joint federal and local program aimed at keeping illegal immigrants off our streets. "287 G" gives local police the training and authority to enforce federal immigration law. Supporters of the program believe the ministration wants to limit the program to criminal illegal immigrants already in custody -- limiting the investigative authority of police.

Federal contractors now must use E-verify to check the status of their employees on federal projects. The rule which goes into effect today will affect almost 169,000 contractors and some 3.8 million workers. The E-verify program has an accuracy rating of 99.6% but has been repeatedly challenged by the U.S. Chamber of Congress. We will have a full report

Another victory for American workers in Arizona. Yesterday, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the get-tough employer sanctions law in the state. The law hits employers who knowingly hire illegal aliens with strict penalties and in some cases even strips businesses of their licenses. A lower court upheld the same law in February. But open-borders and amnesty groups along with the business lobby are considering yet another appeal.

Labor Dept. Helps Illegal Alien Workers



04/06/2010

The Department of Labor has launched a special program to assist and protect illegal immigrant workers in the U.S., referred to as “vulnerable” and “underpaid” by the presidential cabinet member who heads the agency.

Hundreds of new field investigators have been deployed to reach out to Latino laborers in areas with large numbers of illegal alien employees. Their message, in Spanish, is “we can help” bring workplace protections to the nation’s most vulnerable and underpaid workers, including those who have no legal right to live in the United States.



Labor Secretary Hilda Solis, a former California congresswoman with close ties to the influential La Raza movement, announced the “We Can Help” project with great fanfare a few days ago. A total of 1,000 investigators from her agency will focus on enforcing labor and wage laws in industries that typically hire lots of illegal aliens without reporting anyone to federal immigration authorities.



Solis told Latino workers that “your president, your secretary of labor and this department will not allow anyone to be denied his or her rightful pay, especially when so many in our nation are working long, hard and often dangerous hours.” She assured illegal immigrants that “if you work in this country, you are protected by our laws.”

The same day Solis publicly announced the Obama Administration’s new project, a Labor Department investigator visited a day laborer center in northern California to promote it. The federal employee actually chatted warmly with the illegal immigrants about how to find jobs without being exploited, according to a local newspaper report. “We’re the feds but the good ones,” he told the day laborers in Spanish. “We’re here to help workers.”

The agency has also launched a Spanish television advertising campaign to spread the word and created a web site. Workers in industries from construction to food service are urged to contact the Labor Department of wage and hour violations. An investigator may be deployed to the work site or the employer may be taken to court.

While in Congress, she opposed strengthening the border fence, supported expansion of illegal alien benefits (including driver's licenses and in–state tuition discounts), embraced sanctuary cities that refused to cooperate with federal homeland security officials to enforce immigration laws, and aggressively championed a mass amnesty. Solis was steeped in the pro–illegal alien worker organizing movement in Southern California and was buoyed by amnesty–supporting Big Labor groups led by the Service Employees International Union. She has now caused a Capitol Hill firestorm over her new taxpayer–funded advertising and outreach campaign to illegal aliens regarding fair wages:

Michelle Malkin

The U.S. Department of Illegal Alien Labor

President Obama's Labor Secretary Hilda Solis is supposed to represent American workers. What you need to know is that this longtime open–borders sympathizer has always had a rather radical definition of "American." At a Latino voter registration project conference in Los Angeles many years ago, Solis asserted to thunderous applause, "We are all Americans, whether you are legalized or not."

That's right. The woman in charge of enforcing our employment laws doesn't give a hoot about our immigration laws –– or about the fundamental distinction between those who followed the rules in pursuit of the American dream and those who didn't.

While in Congress, she opposed strengthening the border fence, supported expansion of illegal alien benefits (including driver's licenses and in–state tuition discounts), embraced sanctuary cities that refused to cooperate with federal homeland security officials to enforce immigration laws, and aggressively championed a mass amnesty. Solis was steeped in the pro–illegal alien worker organizing movement in Southern California and was buoyed by amnesty–supporting Big Labor groups led by the Service Employees International Union. She has now caused a Capitol Hill firestorm over her new taxpayer–funded advertising and outreach campaign to illegal aliens regarding fair wages:

"I'm here to tell you that your president, your secretary of labor and this department will not allow anyone to be denied his or her rightful pay –– especially when so many in our nation are working long, hard and often dangerous hours," Solis says in the video pitch. "We can help, and we will help. If you work in this country, you are protected by our laws. And you can count on the U.S. Department of Labor to see to it that those protections work for you."

To be sure, no one should be scammed out of "fair wages." Employers that hire and exploit illegal immigrant workers deserve full sanctions and punishment. But it's the timing, tone–deafness and underlying blanket amnesty agenda of Solis' illegal alien outreach that has so many American workers and their representatives on Capitol Hill rightly upset.



With double–digit unemployment and a growing nationwide revolt over Washington's border security failures, why has Solis chosen now to hire 250 new government field investigators to bolster her illegal alien workers' rights campaign? (Hint: Leftists unhappy with Obama's lack of progress on "comprehensive immigration reform" need appeasing. This is a quick bone to distract them.)

Unfortunately, the federal government is not alone in lavishing attention and resources on workers who shouldn't be here in the first place. As of 2008, California, Florida, Nevada, New York, Texas and Utah all expressly included illegal aliens in their state workers' compensation plans –– and more than a dozen other states implicitly cover them.

Solis' public service announcement comes on the heels of little–noticed but far more troubling comments encouraging illegal alien workers in the Gulf Coast. Earlier this month, in the aftermath of the BP oil spill, according to Spanish language publication El Diario La Prensa, Solis signaled that her department was going out of its way to shield illegal immigrant laborers involved in cleanup efforts. "My purpose is to assist the workers with respect to safety and protection," she said. "We're protecting all workers regardless of migration status because that's the federal law." She told reporters that her department was in talks with local Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials who had visited coastal worksites to try to verify that workers were legal.

No word yet on whether she gave ICE her "we are all Americans, whether you are legalized or not" lecture. But it's a safe bet.
