March 09, 2010 New Ads Promote Jobs for American Workers As a member of the Coalition for the American Worker, FAIR works tirelessly to promote policies that protect American workers and work in America's best national interest. The Coalition for the American Worker has just launched two new TV ads that are running in markets around the country asking the President why he and leaders in Congress refuse to enforce our immigration laws, especially when Americans need jobs! Check out the ads below and make sure to forward them to your friends, family members, and colleagues.
Audits Target Companies in Five States "As part of the government's new immigration enforcement strategy, 180 businesses in five states, including Tennessee, will be audited to make sure they are not hiring illegal workers," the Times Free Press reported. Tennessee, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Arkansas businesses have been targeted for the audits, which involve inspection of I-9 forms.
Expected Flood of Haitian TPS Applicants Yet to Show ABC News says that the expected flood of TPS applications from Haitians hasn't happened yet. "Only 10 percent of the estimated 200,000 Haitians living in the United states illegally have taken advantage of a controversial Obama administration initiative that would allow them to live and work freely here until conditions in Haiti improve." The story notes that many Haitians here illegally don't want to sign up for TPS because they don't want the government to know they are here illegally. Haitians appear to take the TPS program at face value, and not as the permanent amnesty it has become in permanent practice. This reluctance is sure to cause frustration for illegal immigrant support groups, who expected a steady flow of new clients they could file years of deportation appeals for.
Senate Amnesty Bill May Include Secure ID "Lawmakers working to craft a new comprehensive immigration bill have settled on a way to prevent employers from hiring illegal immigrants: a national biometric identification card all American workers would eventually be required to obtain. Under the potentially controversial plan still taking shape in the Senate, all legal U.S. workers, including citizens and immigrants, would be issued an ID card with embedded information, such as fingerprints, to tie the card to the worker," the Wall Street Journal says. "It's the nub of solving the immigration dilemma politically speaking," Sen. Schumer told the Journal. "The card, he said, would directly answer concerns that after legislation is signed, another wave of illegal immigrants would arrive. 'If you say they can't get a job when they come here, you'll stop it.'"
Grass Roots Amnesty Groups Try to Pressure Obama "Leaders of nearly a dozen grass-roots immigrant rights groups excoriated President Obama and congressional Democrats on Monday, accusing them of moving too slowly to legalize the status of undocumented immigrants and citing a record number of deportations in 2009," the Washington Post reported. "No legalization. No reelection," said Emma Lozano, executive director of the Chicago-based Centro Sin Fronteras.
