THE G.O.P. HAS ALWAYS BEEN ALIGNED WITH EXPLOITATION OF THE AMERICAN WORKER JUST AS THE DEMS ARE NOW THE PARTY OF LA RAZA ILLEGALS! WHO REALLY FIGHTS FOR JOBS FOR AMERICANS?
*
EVERY YEAR THERE ARE 1.5 MILLION ILLEGALS THAT HOP OUR BORDERS TO LOOT, AND 1.5 MILLION AMERICANS THAT FALL INTO POVERTY. IS THE MATH HARD TO DO ON THAT???
CA ALONE BUTS OUT $20 BILLION PER YEAR IN SOCIAL SERVICES TO ILLEGALS, AND NEARLY HALF THE MURDERS IN MEXIFORNIA ARE BY MEXICAN GANGS!!! YOU REALLY WANT OPEN BORDERS AND POSTED! NO LEGAL NEED APPLY?
Although Mr. Smith’s E-Verify bill includes a three-year grace period before it would take effect for agriculture, growers — including many Republicans — still balked, saying they would not support it unless Congress provided a supply of legal immigrants for farms.

IS LAMAR SMITH JOINING THE LA RAZA PARTY?
FEW HAVE SPOKEN OUT MORE ABOUT THE IMPACT OF THE MEXICAN INVASION ON JOBS THAN LAMAR SMITH. NOW HE SOUNDS LIKE A CORRUPT LA RAZA DEM!

FEINSTEIN BOXER PERPETRATED THIS AMNESTY DESPITE THE FACT THAT ONE-THIRD OF ALL “CHEAP” LABOR ILLEGAL FARM WORKERS END UP ON WELFARE! CA NOW PUTS OUT $20 BILLION PER YEAR TO ILLEGALS TO SUBSIDIZE EMPLOYERS OF QUASI-SLAVE LABOR FROM MEXICO!
*
LAMAR SMITH ON NO LEGAL NEED APPLY:
THE ENTIRE REASON THE BORDERS ARE LEFT OPEN IS TO CUT WAGES!
"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."

Lawmaker Offers Plan to Lure Migrant Farm Workers
By JULIA PRESTON
A leading Republican lawmaker has proposed creating a program to bring 500,000 foreign migrant farm workers to the United States each year, responding to an outcry this summer from American farmers who said shortages of legally authorized labor were imperiling their crops.
The lawmaker, Representative Lamar Smith of Texas, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, introduced his farm guest worker bill late on Wednesday and held a hearing on it in the House on Thursday. He is proposing a thorough overhaul of the existing guest worker program for agriculture, known as H-2A, which is shunned by most growers as too bureaucratic and costly for their fast-changing labor needs in fields and orchards.
Instead, farmers have turned to some 1.1 million illegal immigrants now estimated to be working in agriculture.
Mr. Smith offered his proposal after a bill he introduced in June, designed to prevent illegal immigrants from gaining jobs in this country, generated a wave of resistance from farmers. That bill would require all employers nationwide to use a federal electronic system, known as E-Verify, to confirm that new hires are legally authorized to work here.
Although Mr. Smith’s E-Verify bill includes a three-year grace period before it would take effect for agriculture, growers — including many Republicans — still balked, saying they would not support it unless Congress provided a supply of legal immigrants for farms.
Mr. Smith’s guest worker proposal adds an important piece to the Republican strategy for the angrily contested issue of immigration as Washington moves into campaign season. He framed his plan as an alternative to granting legal status to illegal immigrants already in the country, the approach President Obama supports.
Mr. Smith said his program would “provide growers who want to do the right thing with a reliable source of legal labor” and would also “protect the livelihoods of American workers and the rights of guest workers.”
The bill drew divided reaction from growers’ organizations. Groups from North and South Carolina and Georgia, particularly those representing farmers who have tried to work with the H-2A program, liked the proposal.
Many major farm organizations, including the California Farm Bureau Federation, said Mr. Smith’s program failed to meet their needs.
At the hearing, Chalmers R. Carr III, a South Carolina peach grower who is president of USA Farmers, a group of employers using H-2A workers, said Mr. Smith’s bill “positively addresses most every major issue that has been raised by the agricultural industry for many years.”
Mr. Smith’s proposal, for a new program he is calling H-2C, would shift management of the guest worker program from the Department of Labor, where he said farmers face a “culture of hostility,” to the Department of Agriculture. It would require only that employers attest that they had offered jobs to American workers, removing time-consuming procedural hurdles that farmers said had not helped attract Americans to strenuous migrant farm work.
It would allow binding arbitration in guest worker contracts, which he said would reduce “frivolous litigation.”
Many farm bureaus, however, are throwing their support behind a competing proposal by another Republican, Representative Dan Lungren of California. In an interview, Mr. Lungren said he would introduce his bill in the House next week. He said his talks with California growers had “proved to me you can’t get where we need to by reforming the H-2A program.”
Under his program, foreign migrant workers would not be tied to specific farmers as they are under Mr. Smith’s plan, but they would be issued work documents allowing them to come to the United States for 10 months a year to work for any agricultural employer.
With no provisions to legalize illegal immigrants, both proposals, which are rejected by farm worker groups, are expected to face strong opposition in the Democratic-controlled Senate.

A Law to Verify the Immigration Status of Workers
Published: August 7, 2011
”Farmers Oppose G.O.P. Bill to Require Verification of Workers’ Immigration Status” (news article, July 31) didn’t tell the whole story. We could open up millions of jobs for unemployed Americans by requiring all employers to use E-Verify. This program quickly identifies people working illegally in the United States and protects jobs for legal workers.
Created in 1996, E-Verify allows employers to electronically verify the work eligibility of newly hired employees by checking their Social Security numbers. The “E” in E-Verify could just as well stand for “easy” and “effective.” It takes only one to two minutes to use per new hire and easily confirms 99.5 percent of work-eligible employees.
Both businesses and the public support the expansion of E-Verify. Even though E-Verify is not mandatory, more than 270,000 American employers use it, and an average of 1,300 new businesses sign up each week. And according to a recent poll, 82 percent of likely voters think that all American employers should be required to use E-Verify.
With millions of citizens and legal workers looking for work, it is critical that we promote policies that help grow our economy and increase job opportunities for Americans and legal immigrants.
With a 21st-century tool already on the books, it makes sense to use it. A federal E-Verify law is the only way to ensure that all employers hire a legal work force.

Labor Secretary Pledges Help For Illegal Workers
Last Updated: Tue, 06/22/2010 - 11:00am
Two months after the Department of Labor launched a special program to assist and protect illegal immigrants in the U.S. the Obama cabinet official who heads the agency is personally encouraging undocumented workers to report employers that don’t pay them fairly.
In a Spanish-language public service announcement, Labor Secretary Hilda Solis assures that “every worker in America has a right to be paid fairly, whether documented or not.” Illegal aliens who are not getting fair wages are encouraged to call a new hotline set up by the agency on a new “Podemos Ayudar” (We Can Help) web page designed to administer worker protection laws and ensure that employees are properly paid “regardless of immigration status.”
In the short video, also posted in English, Solis tells illegal immigrants that it’s a “serious problem” when workers in this country are not paid fairly and that all workers have the right to receive their salary regardless of immigration status. She encourages those who are not to call the new hotline and assures it’s free and confidential. “Podemos ayudar,” (we can help), Solis guarantees at the end of the brief segment.
The Labor Secretary’s new message is part of a campaign launched a few months ago to help illegal immigrant workers in the U.S., who she refers to as “vulnerable” and “underpaid.” At least 1,000 new field investigators have been deployed to reach out to Latino laborers in areas with large numbers of illegal alien employees and the 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.
For a government agency to protect law breakers in this fashion may seem unbelievable but not if you consider the source. A Former California congresswoman, Solis has close ties to the influential La Raza movement that advocates open borders and rights for illegal immigrants. She made the protection of undocumented workers a major priority upon being named Labor Secretary, assuring illegal aliens that “if you work in this country, you are protected by our laws.”
"While the declining job market in the United States may be discouraging some would-be border crossers, a flow of illegal aliens continues unabated, with many entering the United States as drug-smuggling "mules."

‘Backdoor Amnesty’: A Republican Chides Obama
To the Editor:
Your July 13 editorial “The Forgetful Mr. Smith” took a sentence in a letter several colleagues and I sent to the Clinton administration out of context, so you didn’t give your readers the whole story.
This letter requested that the Immigration and Naturalization Service issue guidelines for removal proceedings in the most sympathetic cases: those that involve legal — not illegal — immigrants who committed a single minor crime but have been law-abiding residents ever since.
While this authority is justifiable when used responsibly on a case-by-case basis, it’s clear that the Obama administration plans to abuse it. In recent years, Congress has defeated amnesty for illegal immigrants several times, but this has not stopped President Obama from trying to implement a backdoor amnesty. Over the last year, the Obama administration has ignored the will of Congress and the American people by using executive branch authority to allow illegal immigrants to remain living and working in the United States.
That is why I have introduced a bill to prevent the Obama administration from abusing this power. The Obama administration should not pick and choose which laws it will enforce. Congress must put a halt to this administrative amnesty.
