New Haven Authorizes ID Cards for Illegal Aliens

"It took nearly 2 1/2 hours, but an aldermanic committee Tuesday ultimately voted to authorize the acceptance of funding for the city's much-debated municipal identification card. While the Finance Committee vote was unanimous, there was no consensus among the roughly 200 people who attended the public hearing," the New Haven Register reported. "Dustin Gold, of the Community Watchdog Group, an anti-illegal immigrant group and opponent of the card, came to Tuesday's meeting under no illusion that he would convince the finance committee to reject funding. The future of the card would be hashed out in Superior Court or in the next mayoral election, he said outside the aldermanic hearing room in City Hall."

AND THEY KEEP ELECTING THESE OPEN BORDER NUT KOOKS ADDING GASOLINE TO THE AMERICAN DEPRESSION FIRE?

Posted by: Softwarengineer on October 10, 2008 12:45 PM

Reading some of the comments that are attached to the newspaper story, a lot of them are the same old line that if we did not have massive immigration, everything would be too expensive for us to purchase. The fact is that periods of low immigration have been some of the best periods of prosperity for the middle class in this country. The fifties through the seventies were very low immigration, and middle class prosperity and union membership were at record high levels.

Nor does the "lettuce would be $5" argument take into account the cost of schooling the children born in this country to illegals. Is it just a coincidence that the state with the most immigrants, California, is on the verge of economic collapse, and a large part of that is providing for the education of the larger families of immigrants? The governor recently called for an emergency 7 billion dollar federal loan to meet their obligations. But, this is what you've wanted, this is what you've encouraged, so you pay for it. And all the people who pointed out these crises were coming in that state were dismissed as racist alarmists.

We also can move to hydroponic farming with a lot of vegetables. It's more expensive to set up, but in the end, it produces higher yields and uses less labor. And that labor is more like factory work, not the backbreaking stoop labor that makes those jobs undesirable.

A lot of us remember when teenagers and college students took a lot of the restaurant and grocery store jobs now taken by immigrants. Those kids took the money and spent it here. It didn't go to Mexico where we do not benefit from it.

The stupidness of American citizens across the nation knows no bounds. Citizens, are still allowing committees, city councils, and other entities to determine their future, and where illegal immigration is concerned, not for the better. Too bad, we will sleep in the bed we made.

This card could be a money-maker. Charge $100 per card. What they are actually charging does not cover the cost, and there are 7 billion people eligible for it.

"A lot of us remember when teenagers and college students took a lot of the restaurant and grocery store jobs now taken by immigrants. Those kids took the money and spent it here. It didn't go to Mexico where we do not benefit from it."

A sad addition to this comment comes from a new Time piece: "Undergrads on the Bread Line." The article talks about Jessica Makolin, 21, a model citizen who was Ann Arbor News Young Citizen of the Year in 2004 for helping in food banks...and now she's "standing on the other side of the counter." She calls this "ironic." I also call it tragic and irresponsible. While the MSM brushes off the issue of how immigration displaces students in the workplace, our nation's youth go hungry.

WA. State Still Won't Screen State Employment Referrals

"Washington state officials say they have agreed to screen potential farm hands for immigration violations before referring them to jobs, after the federal government threatened to cut millions of dollars from a program that matches workers with jobs. However, state officials say they still won't use a federal verification system to confirm that farm workers' documents are valid, and farm groups say the state's concession does little to ensure a legal work force for farmers," the Seattle Times reports. "The dispute centers on the federal H-2A guest-worker program, which allows farmers to recruit workers from foreign countries if they can prove there is a shortage of legal, local workers. More growers have turned to the program in recent years amid a nationwide labor shortage, despite long-standing complaints that it's too cumbersome."

OF COURSE WASINGTON STATE DOESN'T WANT DEPRESSION INSURANCE FOR LEGAL AMERICANS; THEY'D BE CAUGHT WITH MICROSOFT/BOEING HANDS IN THE CHEAP LABOR COOKIE JAR

BOEING WORK VISA SCAMS?

Here's a blog I just published in the Seattle Bubble, it applies to this website too:

SPEEA TO GO ON STRIKE IN DECEMBER TOO?

To add to the Seattle home price collapse witches brew is the frustration Boeing technical employees are apparently having with Boeing management’s globalist “in-sourcing” and “outsourcing” at alleged slave labor rates and incapable/subpar schedule deliveries. Here’s an Aug 2008 SPEEA excerpt:

“…SEATTLE – In a press release issued Aug.
18, SPEEA officials said problems with
contractors contribute to delays with the
787 and other commercial and defense
programs.
Union efforts to address the issue with
Boeing and track contract labor have been
rejected.
“We continue to uncover a pattern of
abuse of foreign contract labor at Boeing
facilities,” said Ray Goforth, SPEEA executive
director. “This is bringing the mistake
of outsourcing, which continues to
delay the 787, right into Boeing offices
and factories.”
In April, SPEEA specifically asked the
aerospace and defense giant for information
on the process used to renew foreign
worker visas and the treatment of the
workers while at Boeing.
“Boeing is refusing to tell us how many
foreign contractors are being brought here
and what programs they are working on,”
Goforth said.
Earlier this year, SPEEA learned that 300
contractors from Russia were working at
Boeing under the B1 (business) visa program.
The B1 visa is typically reserved for
visitors on business trips. All of the foreign
contractors were doing jobs previously performed
by U.S. workers.
“Boeing is undermining its own products
by arming these workers with high-tech
knowledge and skills and then sending
them home with work that should be performed
by U.S. workers,” Goforth said.
“Japan, China and Russia all have large
scale efforts to compete in the commercial
airplane business with skills they learned
from Boeing.”
To see the press release, go to http://www.speea.org….”

It isn’t just the Boeing machinists this local area should be worrying about, no not at all.

The illegal aliens in Washington will bring down the State's budget. At some point the citizens will demand that illegal aliens stop getting free educations, free health care, free food stamps, assisted housing, etc. Also, more than 10,000 illegal aliens have walked away from home loans in Tom Tancredo's district. How did these illegal aliens (leeches) get loans if they were in the country illegally?

Software,
I am one of those striking machinsts...
I have complained for a long time about the process to ensure legal workers, sorry, but especially in the wire shops...
When you have people who can't read a drawing w/out an interpreter, but they somehow managed to make it through the entire screening and training process, there's a problem!

I have queried both the gubernatorial candidates about their immigration stances and just as at the national level, it's been largely ignored!
I continue to urge people to ask them if they will require E-verify for all WA employers, and they continue to skirt the subject...
Neither will get my vote...just as at the national level...

Notary Guilty in Fraud Case, Could Get 20 Years

"A Honolulu notary faces jail time for falsely certifying information on immigrant visa applications. Henry Hung Nguyen, 39, could face up to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to 10 counts of false notary certification," the Pacific Business News reports. "The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services in a joint investigation found that Nguyen notarized information on applications for immigrant visas knowing the information was false, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office in Honolulu."

Good riddance to bad rubish! I hope he has fun in his new jail house home. I swear I don't understand people selling our beautiful country down the drain like this. People who come to this country illegally are not good people, have never been good people and never will be good people when they think nothing of ignoring our laws for their own selfish ends. The people, who aid and abet them, who are US citizens or naturalized citizens, are even worse as far as I am concerned. They are traitors. If he is a naturalized citizen will he be deported at the end of his high crime gig? Or will he plead that he is yet another victim of something or other and the devil made him do it. I swear it just keeps getting insane. When the elite of this nation and, particularly, those who are involved with the Council on Foreign Relations, have their evil hands in the pile, it will never be resolved to the satisfaction of US citizens. Our country is more important than these selfish idiots making a pile of dough when they are manipulating to the degree that they are. I miss the days when the king would say, "off with their heads!"

Foreign Busses Operate in U.S. Without Safety Checks

"Foreign-made buses that don't meet U.S. safety standards can drive across the nation's southern border to operate in this country because of gaps in safety laws intended to ensure those imported buses are safe, a federal safety official said Wednesday. A 2005 Volvo bus, involved in a Jan. 2 wreck near Victoria, Texas that killed one man and injured several people, was built to European safety standards. Under U.S. rules, imported buses must go through a registration process to ensure they meet U.S. safety standard," the AP reports. "'What we've identified here is that there's a loophole big enough to drive a bus through, and they have been,' said Debbie Hersman, an NTSB member. 'They've been driving those buses across the U.S. border that don't comply with U.S. standards.'"

The laws across the nation have broken down. Americans continue to ignore all of it, to their peril. Even though we have experienced what happens when we allow others to oversee our affairs, such as the Stock Market criminals, most recently, many of us will still not realize the neccessity of voting out, wholesale, those people who are destroying us.

Immigrant Convicted in D.C. Slavery Case

"A Nigerian-born businessman convicted of smuggling a 14-year-old girl into the United States and forcing her to work as an unpaid servant at his home in Germantown was sentenced yesterday to more than eight years in prison," the Washington Post reports. "The prosecution of the Udeozors renewed attention to the smuggling of girls and women to work as live-in domestic help in the United States, where they are often unpaid or otherwise mistreated. Law enforcement officials estimate that thousands are recruited every year from impoverished countries to do domestic work. Washington and New York are major centers for the practice, in part because both are home to diplomatic missions, whose officials can bring in domestic servants on special visas, and to large immigrant populations."

Barone: Immigration and the Mortgage Mess

"The Wall Street Journal had a fascinating story on the regions with the most underwater mortgages, together with an invaluable map. When you look at the map, you'll see that the areas facing the greatest impact are also the areas most affected by immigration," notes Michael Barone. "The Inland Empire of California, metro Phoenix and Las Vegas, south Florida—all have had heavy influxes of Latino immigrants or of Anglos leaving immigrant-dominated places like Los Angeles and Miami-Dade counties. Homeowning here was in effect subsidized by the toxic-waste mortgages pumped through the system by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and other improvident financial institutions."

Gee,what now- are we going to spend billions of dollars more of middle class American's dollars to form a study as to how illegals got home loans. People-this is end times for the America that set the standard for the world. Our very survival is in our hands alone. Before the big one hits (the mother of all amnesties and family reunion)this is the time to form a plan for you and your family's safety. Maybe your plan is to become very proficient with a firearm(before they are banned)- maybe it is to set up a safe-house network with relatives, friends, and fellow neighbors. Don't buy the lies of it will get better and risk becoming a victim of the genocide that will happen to middle class America.

This problem has been predicted for several years. When Ron Paul warned the pubic about this, he was laughed at. When a few bold economists spoke about the problem unfolding, MSM would dismiss them as Conspiracy Theorists. Now the problem is right on our doorstep and just now MSM is viewing this financial crisis as a huge unfolding disaster that could lead to a complete reshaping of our society.
When this mess hits the bottom, the multinational bankers will buy this bad debt for pennies on the dollar. They will be our new overlords (If we let them)

HI SANDMAN

To my knowledge, Ron Paul has supported amnesty and thus, ignores uncontrolled population growth in America too; the obvious cause of his depression he predicts. How can Ron Paul or any politician have uncontrolled overpopulation and fix America's depression too?

They all [even Barr] refuse to acknowledge the root cause [in writing of verbal] and hence the solution [depopulation], except Nader and FAIR, and other population watch groups, i.e., NUMBERSUSA.
