Wisconsin Atty. General Says State Should Pull Professional Licenses of Illegal Aliens

"The Wisconsin Department of Regulation and Licensing should verify the immigration status of all applicants because federal law prohibits states from issuing professional licenses to illegal immigrants, Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen said in a legal opinion issued Thursday. The opinion was requested by the department. Van Hollen wrote that asking applicants for their immigration status would be consistent with existing state practice of asking for other kinds of evidence when someone applies for a license or credential," the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel writes. "Van Hollen recommended that the department implement a process for checking an applicant's immigration status."

YOU MEAN THEY GIVE PROFESSIONAL LICENSES TO ILLEGAL ALIENS?

Its far worse than I thought.

Posted by: Softwarengineer on October 26, 2007 01:21 PM

Software Engineer,

They give Business Licenses, Tax Breaks, Housing, Food, Health Care, Education and Employment to name a few.

Churches in America shelter criminals while we have homeless and mentally ill Americans living on the streets literally.

These are my reasons why I never donate any money to any church or any organization except for the animals, vets and the police.

I don't even donate to preserve land because it's useless. Why donate money to save land when they refuse to enforce law? The land obviously won't be preserved, after all, we need that space to accomodate the illegal criminals...

The Rule of Law in America is:

If you're White, you just ain't Right...

The problem is there aren't any Americans left out there that give a shit.

I live in Illinois, which is one of the worst states when it comes to legal and illegal immigrants.

I am tired of being the only English speaking person in the grocery line or at the Home Depot.

We have so many Eastern Europeans, in addition to Hispanics in my community now that I am intimidated.

It doesn't matter whether they are Hispanic or Russian, or Lithuanian, or Ukranian, there are just too damn many of them. They are polluting our country and polluting our democracy.

Get rid of them all with the politicians who support them.

Professional licenses in Wisconsin! Drivers licenses in New York where I live!! This is lunacy!!! People have broken US law by entering and remaining in the US and OUR government officials and agencies are treating them as though they were citizens or LEGALIZED citizens!! WE THE PEOPLE have to wake up and stay on top of the "powers" that be.
I bet many of you forward articles and commentaries to friends and family to educate and inform them as to what's going on around them. How many people tell you that "they are too busy", "it's no big deal", "that is an outrage, but I'm too busy / tired/ involved in other things in my life"?
We need more people to take the bull by the horns and contact our elected officials. Then if our elected officials don't represent us, we VOTE them OUT!!

Posted by: Thomas on October 27, 2007 07:09 AM

Every one is granted a license should have to prove they are here legally. If we get stopped by a police officer the first thing thet ask for his your drivers license , registration and proof of insurance. Makes me insane that the por amensty groups are saying their civil rights are being invaded if they have to prove who they are.

but maybe the black power structure in that foraken palce milwauke will oppose this on civil liberties grounds

Posted by: impeachbush on October 28, 2007 03:30 PM

WTF!
I had to prove my citizenship to get a prof license 30 YEARS AGO.

They are just catching on to that now???

Guatemalan Immigrant Caught Setting Another Brush Fire in California

"The FBI has launched arson investigations into some of the most serious fires that have destroyed more than 1,500 homes and done more than $1 billion in damage . . . Earlier in Los Angeles, outraged West Hills residents saw a 41-year-old man set a fire and chased him to a restaurant where they held him until cops arrived. Catalino Pineda, a Guatemalan immigrant on probation for making excessive false emergency reports to law enforcement, was arrested and charged with arson, police said," the New York Daily News reported.

And once again, we see that our failure to enforce the law has allowed it to happen. If he had already been on probation, his illegal offense should have been reason to deport him.

Posted by: takn on October 26, 2007 12:50 PM

I LIVE NEAR ONE OF THE FIRE AREAS,and have suspected the ARSON that cause something like half of the fire was in fact set by ILLEGAL ALIENS!

I know, on it's face that sounds inflamatory, but it is plainly logical.

WHO CLEANS UP BURNED DOWN HOUSE PROPERTY?

Mostly ILLEGAL ALIENS!

WHO WILL REBUILD THE 2000 BURN DOWN HOMES?

Crews made up of crews of ILLEGAL ALIENS!

Who is already suffering from lack of work in construction?

Several hundred thousand ILLEGAL ALIENS!

I suggest the all construction operations related to the fires have STRICT overview by ICE agents. Otherwise we will have huge fires being set as a make work activity by ILLEGAL ALIENS for years to come!

Isn't this becoming more and more like a WAR IN PROGRESS?

Posted by: Allan S. on October 26, 2007 01:21 PM

TAKN, WE HARDLY EVER DEPORT ANY PROBATION OVERPOPULATION THAT WORKS FOR PEANUTS IN AMERICA

The American Organised Crime Employers that run our government will have none of that.

A friend told me they're thinking about replacing the US Border Patrol with mercenaries [commercial workers at the highest bidder from border drug cartels?].

Soon, will have a land of peons and small elite group of bullies, if we allow this mess to unfold.

Posted by: Softwarengineer on October 26, 2007 01:28 PM

I'm not at all surprised that the fires might have been set by illegals. These people seem to be born criminals. Where are the "honest" laborers Bush is always praising? The Dallas Morning News has many stories concerning Hispanic lawbreakers. I'm sure they hate to publish names since they are a pro-illegal paper. They have an Hispanic columnist who lives in the same fantasy world in which Fox and Bush dwell. She says they bring no disease, and Fox says 94 percent of their youngsters graduate from high school, Bush - well, he thinks he's president of Mexico. They all need to have an "attitude ajustment."

Posted by: June on October 26, 2007 05:07 PM

I wonder how many lives were lost in the fires that the arsonist set. If any people died in arson related fires, they should get the death penalty. Forget cruel and unusual punishment. Burn them at the stake! Thats how their victims died.

Posted by: marg on October 26, 2007 05:52 PM

We must remove the illgals through attrition and we must do it now!!! If our goverment does not defend it's citizens, then you can only expect the citizens to defend themselves. This is a formula not for marshal law but for civil war.

Posted by: john on October 27, 2007 03:31 PM

Americans would be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and imprisoned but illegal aliens are released only to cross our southern border again and again and again. Americans are victimized by the very government who is supposed to protect them. The only way to stop this dysfunctional and dangerous nonsense is to oust incumbents during the next election and then perhaps these idiots would get the message about illegal aliens and our national security and safety.

Just goes to show you what we are up against.

Contractor Who Hired Illegals Sues Missouri Gov. Over Firing

"A state janitorial contractor that was fired over allegations it employed illegal immigrants sued the state Thursday, accusing Gov. Matt Blunt of racial discrimination and abuse of power. Blunt called the lawsuit 'ludicrous' and defended his decision to cancel the contract of Sam's Janitorial Services and bar the company from state work," the AP writes. "About 25 company employees were arrested in a March 6 sting at a Jefferson City state office building by federal and state law enforcement officers, according to the lawsuit. The owner of Sam's Janitorial, K. Asamoah-Boadu, claims Blunt exceeded his gubernatorial powers when he terminated the contract and disqualified the company from future state work. Asamoah-Boadu wants nine canceled contracts reinstated, the company's ban from state work reversed and an unspecified amount of money for damages, according to the lawsuit filed in Cole County Circuit Court."

This lawsuit has about as much chance of winning as I do being the first man on Mars.

Governor can decide whatever he wants concerning state contracts and the very fact that the owner of the janitor service was BREAKING THE LAW gives him no standing over him losing his state contracts.

I could understand one or two people getting through the cracks but out of 60 employees 25 were illegal aliens. One or two is a mistake 25 is breaking the law with intent.

Bull-pucky! He should be prosecuted for aiding and abetting illegals and we definately need laws on exploitation!

Posted by: takn on October 26, 2007 12:56 PM

WHY DO WE ALLOW FRIVILOUS LAWSUITS LIKE THIS IN OUR AMERICAN COURTS?

Its costing Missouri's citizens a bundle.

It reminds me of that judge that sued for millions over a pair of pants damaged during dry cleaning.

Posted by: Softwarengineer on October 26, 2007 01:32 PM

One side here claims that the percentage of illegals working was high and the other claims it was a small percentage. I would LOVE to know exactly how many illegals were hired. This just proves that we need a national ID more then ever.

Posted by: Dave A on October 26, 2007 01:33 PM

hell probably win, since the courts are so,liberal

Posted by: impeachbush on October 28, 2007 03:31 PM

"Asamoah-Boadu, an African-born U.S. citizen, also alleges racial discrimination because the state contract was subsequently given to white-owned B&G Cleaning, which also had been the contractor before Sam's Janitorial won the bid."

How is it that some people come here and learn so quickly to play the race card? I swear I think the first word of English many people learn is the cry-wolf of "racisim."

Posted by: Anonyma on October 29, 2007 12:39 AM

Why is everything Black and White. The illegal immigration problem is an American problem!!! It is neither White or Black. What illegals coming to this country has learned is how inept our government is when it comes to enforcing the Law!! They have learned that we have slick lawyers, who are savvy and who will do anything and everything to win cases... because it computes to $'s. What we need in this country is integrity, which has become lost and is ever presence in the way our elected leaders are pandering to large corporations because they are probably getting paid off and that is both Black and White elected officials. Obviously there are many of our leaders who are getting paid to turn their heads and try and push Laws through Congress that favors illegal immigrants and not American citizens; and if we continue to fight over the Black and White issue... we will all lose. Let's just focus on the real issues and put racism in the thrash at least until we settle the illegal immigration issue.

Remittances Sent to Mexico Level Off

"For years, millions of Mexican migrants working in the United States have sent money back home to villages like this one, money that allows families to pay medical bills and school fees, build houses and buy clothes or, if they save enough, maybe start a tiny business. But after years of strong increases, the amount of migrant money flowing to Mexico has stagnated. From 2000 to 2006, remittances grew to nearly $24 billion a year from $6.6 billion, rising more than 20 percent some years. In 2007, the increase so far has been less than 2 percent," the New York Times reports. "Like Mr. Rivera, some of the men who went to work in the United States illegally have returned discouraged. And less work means less money to send home — particularly from the southern United States and other areas where Mexican migrants are a more recent presence . . . Now, the construction slump — along with a year-old crackdown on illegal immigration at the border and in the workplace, and mounting anti-immigrant sentiment in places — has made it even harder for Mexican migrants to reach the United States and land well-paying jobs."

You (they) forget (or fail to mention) that much of this remittance money goes to paying off debt to smuggling gangs, and making ransom payments for the family members held hostage.

Boo, hoo. I wish I had two countries---one to work and make money in and the other to retire home to.
Unfortunately, I only have one country and the USA is it, so don't expect too much sympathy here. I also wish I had someone to pick up the tab for my medical bills, which right now, are using up most of my paycheck. Start a business? Forget it.
Here's a suggestion for the rest of the world: Stop having children you can't afford and let everyone in the family who is able to work, go to work. That's what I had to do, when I needed money my family didn't have. Let your own government help you with loans for businesses and necessities you need. American taxpayers are sick of footing the bill for your dreams, while ours go down the tubes.

Posted by: Born American on October 26, 2007 12:36 PM

As the 2nd largest source of income for Mexico, this drop will mean one thing...the Mexican govt. will encourage more of their people to enter this country illegally!

Posted by: takn on October 26, 2007 12:51 PM

THIS IS THE TIME TO INSTALL A PROPER BORDER CONTROL INFRA-STRUCTURE.

We need to radically change the nature of the actual border.

Tall, strong, multiple layer fences are great, but they lack something very important... a criminal penalty
for crossing them. As it stands now, an alien is not
any more chargable for being here illegally, at the very border, than being caught in a car wash raid in Minneapolis!

We need to change the legal status of the actual land
near the border!

I suggest a 200 yard wide SERIES OF ENCLOSURES up to 10 miles long, one after another with a 50 yard gap at each end to allow migrants to cross without the high penalties. The enclosures would be "POSTED" WARNING:CRIMINAL ENTRY AREA,HOMELAND SECURITY FACILITIES, ENTRY MAY BE A FELONY FOR ALL PERSONS ENGAGED IN SMUGGLING, VANDALISM, MAYHEM, or supporting TERRORISM. The posting would be in Spanish, English, Arabic, and Chinese.

Our agents would require all arrestees to place their hands in the air or on heads, while following the instructions of armed Border Guards who would have military automatic weapons. These weapons would not be used to enforce the traffic through the 50 yard gaps between the hundreds of enclosures.

The stated facilities would be, stadium lighting poles,sensor beds, camera towers, and thousands of decoy worn-out B.P. Broncos that would be operational but low value, mostly for show.

This IS A BIG DEAL. It will largely untie the hands of the border Patrol to close to border effectively.
Write your Congressmen, or Senator to install a
truly DEFENSIBLE BORDER COMPLEX with the proper arms and rules in play!

Posted by: Allan S. on October 26, 2007 01:07 PM

This is BS. What are they doing, asking Western Union how much they are sending out?

Western Union is too expensive and they are finding different ways, I would mention some but I don't want to give them any ideas.

Plus, illegals are hanging on to more of it themselves because they are moving to sanctuary cities and getting Bank of America accounts without SS #'s.

IN 2006, A FRIEND OF MINE WENT DINOSAUR BONE DIGGING IN MEXICO

He told me most of the interior Mexican households he snap shotted were a women by herself and lots of kids, he said they running around all over the place in much larger hoards than America [he couldn't believe it, the lack of population control in Mexico]. The locals told him most of the husbands were all gone and about 50%+ in America working, if they could find work there.

Potable water was scarce due to overpopulation in the interior of Mexico too [wells were dry all over], but its far worse in Africa than Mexico. China's running out of water too.

Bargains in Mexico? He told me good restaurant food, lodging and gasoline were about the same localAmerican price in dollars there in 2006.

Posted by: Softwarengineer on October 26, 2007 01:16 PM

You know, I can solve the job magnet problem in 10 seconds. All you have to do is prevent an employer from deducting any wages they pay to illegal aliens. Then you have the IRS start doing a few audits here and there. Betcha, overnight the situation turns around. Employers don't fear the toothless INS but I bet the IRS will scare the hell out of them.

Posted by: arthur on October 26, 2007 01:21 PM

Posted by: jmac on October 26, 2007 01:22 PM

The article speaks of families receiving remittances as though it is a fundamental right, but the article never mentions stolen S.S. numbers, taxes not paid, benefits received, Americans displaced . . .or the birth rate in these poor Mexican villages. You can count on the NYT to NEVER slip and commit an act of journalism.

Posted by: Bill Dexter on October 26, 2007 01:44 PM

Mexicans must demand that their government fix their economy. Mexico should not rely on sending their peasants to the U.S. to find work in order to send financial remittances home. The Mexican oligarchy is corrupt and the Mexicans must demand that their goverment change for the better.

Posted by: Pat on October 26, 2007 02:28 PM

OK - THEY SEND BACK 24 BILLION A YEAR TO MEXICO!!!!!!!!!

IN LOS ANGELES COUNTY - AMERICAN CITIZEN TAX PAYERS PAID 35 MILLION IN JULY 07 (ONE MONTH ONLY) FOR WELFARE BENEFITS AND FOOD STAMPS FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS. FOR THE YEAR IT WAS OVER 1 BILLION DOLLARS. UMM WHY COULDN'T THE ILLEGALS PAY FOR THEIR OWN FOOD AND BENEFITS - COULD IT BE BECAUSE THEY SENT THE MONEY BACK TO MEXICO AND NOW EXPECT AMERICAN HARD WORKING TAX PAYERS TO "COVER THEM" OR BE CALLED RACISTS?
All I know is that it is no wonder ex-President Fox and current President Calderon are always in the news fighting for the "undocumented" workers in the USA. They don't care about their people because if they did they would not be in the USA to begin with. All they care about is the 24 BILLION $$$$ that helps to cover their asses as they still the country blind to live high and mighty while the poor, well the poor can "eat cake" right?

Posted by: cjbl on October 26, 2007 08:46 PM

All these Mexicans here illegaly would constitute a country-changing power if they would all stand together in their own country.

But then - that would be the honorable thing to do and much harder than breaking into and tearing down ours.

Posted by: David A. Brown on October 26, 2007 09:51 PM

The leaders of Mexico and their monopoly loving crownies are sweating in their beds. Their plan was so lose potentially protesters and reformers to the U.S.

Truth be told, it is high time for the people of Mexican, a beautiful country with a lot of potential, to stand up and demand better employment opportunities, education, and quality of life.

For too long a small number of rich families of Spanish roots have monopolized major industries and have disallowed real competition that is needed.


Posted by: Rey on October 27, 2007 12:57 PM

Interestingly enough the second page of the article states that the illegals are taking well-paying jobs, not "those jobs that Americans don't want to do" -- and are now reduced to taking day laborer jobs.

Having the IRS audit those business who employ illegals is an excellent idea, how does one translate that into the tax laws?

Posted by: Lavenia on October 27, 2007 11:26 PM

We must cut off all aid to illegals and stop hiring them for any jobs whatsoever. Then they will have to go home and there will be enough of them to start a revolution and straighten out their own country. Mexico has plenty of natural resources and there is no excuse for it not to have a thriving economy that provides good jobs for its people.
