How is it possible that Democrats are on the same side as the Koch brothers in screwing the working class?

After years of telling us you only wanted to stop ILLEGAL immigration, it's gratifying to see that the charade is over.

DACA people are ILLEGAL immigrants so its in line with being against illegal immigration.

And the dems aren't the ones against eVerify - that would be the businesses (R's) that want to hire illegals. Nice try there.

Dems are the main ones that prevent eVerify which is the easiest way to prevent illegal immigration.

“Nearly 20 million Americans are unemployed or underemployed. Meanwhile, 7 million people are working in the United States illegally,” said Rep. Lamar Smith, a Texas Republican who has introduced mandatory E-Verify legislation in multiple Congresses. “By expanding the E-Verify system to all U.S. employers, this bill will ensure that jobs only go to legal workers.”

“Without top to bottom reform of our immigration laws, expanding E-Verify would devastate the agricultural industry, result in closed farms, a less secure America and the mass offshoring of millions and millions of U.S. jobs,” said Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), one of the negotiators in a broad immigration bill that appears to have stalled.

Republicans, who pushed a similar bill last session, consider E-Verify a vital tool to combat identity theft and reconstruct the nation’s immigration laws. Only 7 percent of employers currently use the system. The bill “balances the need of the American people regarding immigration enforcement with the needs of the business community regarding a fair and workable electronic employment verification system,” Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) said.

Find a single Democrat pushing for eVerify.

common sense gone mad

Claire McCaskill Sponsored the E-Verify System Act of 2018. You voted her out of office, but it's not too late, call your Senator and tell them to get the bill moving.

While we are at it, if illegal immigrants are really such a big deal to Trump, why is it he never mentions that he supports mandatory e-Verify or taken notice of McCaskill's bill? We already have the system, so it costs nothing to implement and can be done much faster than any wall.

not sure where you get that message. the 1990 Immigration act was fraud, created by the 1% for the 1%. There was no worker shortage. It was fraud.

Time to stop the HIB, and stop the F1/OPT and stop the H4B and stop the H2B. Let the free market decide how much workers should be paid, not Zuckerberg and Sandberg.

"[To attract] workers, the employer may have to increase his wage offer. ... So when you hear an employer saying he needs immigrants to fill a "labor shortage'', remember what you are hearing: a cry for a labor subsidy to allow the employer to avoid the normal functioning of the labor market."
