Immigration Standoff in Congress The Arizona Republic analyzes the continuing standoff in Congress over immigration Comments
NOTHING WILL CHANGE UNTIL THESE CORPORATE WHORE POLITICIANS, LIKE PELOSI AND REID JUST TO NAME A FEW, ARE THROWN OUT OF OFFICE FOR GOOD... YOUR VOTES MATTER, FOR THE SAKE OF OUR COUNTRY... ENOUGH IS ENOUGH WITH THESE TRAITORS! Posted by: American Me on May 12, 2008 01:36 PM Anyone who dismisses e-verify as a necessary tool against illegal immigration and fraud is obviously knee-deep in the exploitation and profiteering that come w/ cheap labor and high profits! Posted by: takn on May 12, 2008 01:43 PM The House Democratic leadership continued its assault on immigration enforcement at a May 6 House Ways & Means Subcommittee. This is the time to push aside Democratic leadership's plan for rigged hearings, as well as their larger plan to grant legal work permits for millions of illegal aliens currently holding jobs and huge increases in H-2B and H-1B visas for all types of foreign workers. CONTACT THESE TRAITORS, AND TELL THEM TO ENFORCE THE LAW, AND STOP SELLING US OUT, OR THEY`LL BE OUT OF A JOB AS WELL. VOTE ANTI-INCUMBENT! Posted by: Independent Voter on May 12, 2008 01:54 PM More B S! The democrats just want the illegal aliens to milk taxpayers for free benefits. If they want to represent illegal aliens instead of American citizens, why don't Pelosi and Reed move to Mexico? Posted by: Rick S on May 12, 2008 03:38 PM How hypocritical can the Democratic Party be? People like Howard Berman, Nancy Pelosi, Boxer, Feinstein, Zoe Lofgren,letc. are supposed to be for the American working stiff. We know the Republicans are totally clueless when it comes to the working class. But these Democrats have been selling out the blue collar and working class Americans on this illegal immigration issue for years now. As a long time Californian taxpayer I would like to thank the above snakes in the Demcratic Party for the enormous taxes I have paid to this state and yet can't drive on decent roads and have parks, schools, and public places overrun by illegal alien and other gangs. Your doing a fine job Nancy--in continuing to destroy California. Posted by: Bobby on May 12, 2008 04:53 PM W NEED TO PUT MOR PRESSURE ON THE LEADERS OF THE HOUSE AND SENATE. LETS TIE UP THEIR PHONE LINES ND MAKE THEM REALIZE THAT ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Posted by: ALOHA on May 12, 2008 05:24 PM Vote all of the pro illegal bms utof office. Tell thm to get a real job. Posted by: ALOHA on May 12, 2008 05:31 PM EVEN MOST THE DEMOCRATS THAT HAVEN'T SIGNED UP TO THE SAVE ACT PROBABLY WANT IT TOO But Obama and Clinton [their babes], with campaign finance bribe money want amnesty, so they keep their mouths shut. We need campaign finance reform desparately in America, but you have to blame the populist voters on that issue, they put it really low on the list in error. Perhaps blame mainstream media for lack of credible information on it too though, brainwashing the voters in apathy. Posted by: Softwarengineer on May 12, 2008 06:05 PM CONGRESS, Posted by: SUSAN MARIANO on May 13, 2008 12:02 AM Independent voter, why do you care about H1 visas when you and your couch potato buddies are not having the needed skill levels for those jobs anyways? Skilled workers on H1 and L1 are paying large sums for years into your SS and Medicare funds and if we have to leave this country we cant take that money back or see benefits we paid for. We are supporting your lazy lifestyles and healthcare for your parents, grandparents, schools for you kids and so many things. It is you and your kind who are eating our money, so stop BSing around. Posted by: H1 Bee on May 13, 2008 12:50 PM Hey H1 bee I have my own business, and I would never hire a foreigner (who can barely speak english, and you have to redo their work 2 or 3 times too get it rite). I can use H-1B, bit never ever will, because it`s a scam and everyone familiar with it knows that. I will always hire an American worker, because the propaganda you hear that we need more hi-tech foreigners is a bunch of B.S. That`s for the greedy big business and the corporate slave politicians. Posted by: Independent Voter on May 13, 2008 03:45 PM H1 Bee No thanks for your contributions. You are taking much more away with over-population and lack of respect for the host nation. And I am very sure you will stick around here for the SS/Medicare too. Lazy voter Posted by: MS on May 14, 2008 09:26 AM To H1 Bee, there are plenty of qualified applicants for those H1B jobs. Any employment agency could fill them all in a week. We ALL know that it's just companies wanting cheap labor. Obviously, you are inly in this country to take an American's job, not because you like Americans or our culture. Please leave and don't come back. Posted by: Dave A on May 14, 2008 11:39 AM Why are some employers complaining about E-Verify? Because E-Verify makes it easier to hire American Workers before foreign workers! Isn't that "the way we like it?" Those that hire American citizens find it easy and accurate with only about 1% rejected. But those employers operating on the fringe by avoiding American workers and looking for cheap labor (foreign workers with green cards and illegal immigrants) find it difficult because they cause delays and have a much higher rejection rate of about 7%. About 5% of all E-Verify rejections are received by persons who are not work authorized. Of these most either choose not to contest the rejection or indicate that they will contest the finding but then fail to follow through. Now we know why critics dislike E-Verify so much. Posted by: E-Verifyable on May 14, 2008 12:53 PM H1 Bee, You have no idea what you are talking about. First the H1B Visa is only supposed to be used for labor shortages in mostly tech fields. The worst kept secret is there are no labor shortages here. H1B Visas are only used to try and push out more profits at the expense of the American Worker. The only way your argument could hold water is it was only a small hand full of Americans being replaced by H1B Visa holders but instead it's tens of thousands of Americans being replaced so companies can meet unrealistic profit targets in a given quarter so the CEOs and Execs can get their outrageous bonuses. This is about greed plain and simple. I have yet to meet an H1B Visa holder who was more qualified than the 100's of Americans / fellow co-workers I've seen laid off of the last several years. Most don't have the knowledge, experience or both needed for long term goals. Usually their language and communication skills are lacking and it takes five times as long to get anything done. Brian Posted by: Brian on May 14, 2008 01:18 PM Stick it where the sun doesn't shine, H1 Bee! Americans are putting out billions to support illegals who come here. If you're so concerned about your benefits, then why don't you stay in your own country? Why do you continue to come here, if we are so bad and your countries and people are so great? No one here thinks H1B workers are all they are cracked up to be, anyway. Most might have skills, but no better than the ones Americans have, and most of them don't understand our standards and way of doing things, anyway. This country wasn't built by couch potatoes or workers like you, so hush up, OK?

enforcement legislation. The article cites liberal California Democrat Howard Berman saying that the enforcement-first SAVE Act would probably pass if it came to a vote because there would be enough Republicans joined by Democrats worried about their reelection if they were to vote against the legislation. But it notes the hard-line opposition to the bill by the Democratic Party leadership. One of the efforts to discredit the SAVE Act has been to attempt to discredit the E-Verify employment document verification system currently in operation as costly and error-prone. An article in the
