Call chuckie and Nancy!! Tell the democrats to stop the nonsense and mandate everify
Only the most hard-core radicals in Washington admit they support allowing businesses to exploit illegal-alien labor. In fact, many who consistently vote against stopping illegal immigration say we should focus enforcement on the businesses who lure illegal aliens to come to America. So a bill to make it simple to enforce the federal laws which prohibit hiring illegal aliens should be easy to pass, right? After all, who's going to vote FOR allowing identity theft? Who's going to vote FOR taking jobs from American workers and using them instead to lure illegal aliens into the country? Who's going to vote FOR allowing outlaw businesses to have an advantage over honest employers? We MUST have a vote on E-Verify. We MUST know where Members of Congress REALLY stand. They can't hide behind presumed vetoes anymore; no more excuses over threatened filibusters. |

You realize that US citizen children cannot sponsor their parents, right? Didn’t think so. |

Nope, Tea Party won't pass E-Verify either because they think it's too intrusive, onerous and burdensome on business. Get your own house in order before you start bitching about Dems. |

Rep. Dave Brat (R-Va.) and the Chairman of the Homeland Security Committee Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas) say that the GOP leadership is finalizing their immigration package that would exchange new immigration enforcement measures for amnesty for DACA recipients. Rep. Brat said that they are looking at a plan that would include ending chain migration, eliminating the diversity visa lottery and making E-Verify mandatory. |

Huh? Just the other day, some Republican was on here crowing about Hispanics loving the NRA and being overly religious as a path forward for their own party. So which is it? |

Wrong. EEOC statement on Illegal Aliens... http://www.eeoc.gov/laws/practices/inquiries_citizenship.cfm Pre-Employment Inquiries and Citizenship Employers should not ask whether or not a job applicant is a United States citizen before making an offer of employment. The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 12986 (IRCA) makes it illegal for employers to discriminate with respect to hiring, firing, or recruitment or referral for a fee, based on an individual's citizenship or immigration status. For example, the law prohibits employers from hiring only U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents unless required to do so by law, regulation or government contract; it also prohibits employers from preferring to hire temporary visa holders or undocumented workers over qualified U.S. citizens or other protected individuals, such as refugees or individuals granted asylum. IRCA requires employers to verify the identity and employment eligibility of all employees hired after November 6, 1986, by completing the Employment Eligibility Verification (I-9) Form, and reviewing documents showing the employee's identity and employment authorization. The law prohibits employers from rejecting valid documents or insisting on additional documents beyond what is legally required for employment eligibility verification (or the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Form I-9), based on an employee's citizenship status or national origin. For example, e.g., an employer cannot require only individuals the employer perceives as "foreign" to verify their employment eligibility or produce specific documents, such as Permanent Resident ("green") cards or Employment Authorization Documents. It is the employee's choice which of the permitted documents to show for employment eligibility verification. As long as the document appears reasonably genuine on its face, and relates to the employee, it should be accepted. Because of potential claims of illegal discrimination, employment eligibility verification should be conducted after an offer to hire has been made. Applicants may be informed of these requirements in the pre-employment setting by adding the following statement on the employment application: "In compliance with federal law, all persons hired will be required to verify identity and eligibility to work in the United States and to complete the required employment eligibility verification document form upon hire." The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) also prohibits discrimination on the basis of national origin by smaller employers (with 4 to 14 employees). IRCA prohibits retaliation against individuals for asserting their rights under the Act, or for filing a charge or assisting in an investigation or proceeding under IRCA. Discrimination charges under IRCA are processed by the Department of Justice, Office of Special Counsel (OSC) for Immigration- Related Unfair Employment Practices. For more information, contact the OSC at: 1-800-255-7688 (voice for employees/applicants), 1-800-237-2515 (TTY for employees/applicants), 1-800-255-8155 (voice for employers), or 1-800-362-2735 (TTY for employers), or http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/osc. |

I don't know a single person of any political stripe who supports illegal immigration. The difference is that liberals recognize illegal immigrants as human beings with a right to basic dignity and humane treatment. OP is typical of many on the right, whose belief in the inherent dignity of humanity only applies when it's convenient for them. |

| So, 13:07, what about my neighbor who has an "undocumented" babysitter and housekeeper? Where do I report? |

| If you have evidence of illegal immigration, contact the Department of Homeland Security at 1 866-DHS-2ICE (1 866-347-2423) but don't be surprised if they don't seem to care. |

E-verify passed and has been in use for 10 years. The problem is two-fold: 1) states can apply it any way they want, and 2) there’s virtually no enforcement of compliance. The entire system is uneven; businesses and lobbying factions can and do use their power to exert pressure on state legislatures to use it in their favor. Republicans are the ones clamoring for states’ rights because, as they do with education, healthcare, the environment and other factors critical to the well-being of people they prefer to manipulate federal policy in what they see as competition for business. Business is always going to act in the interest of profit. Business prefers a continuous pipeline of illegal labor. Business will keep that pipeline for as long as they’re able, which means for as long as they can keep paying lawmakers for the policies that support their interest. |

How would you know they are undocumented? Have you seen their birth certificates? Do you know their visa status? Are they in proceedings? Are they reporting to ICE? Have they had a credible fear interview? You are making a lot of assumptions. |

Of course they don’t care. They have nutjobs calling them everyday because they heard somebody speaking Spanish. |

I am "liberal" and I do not hire anyone who does not speak English and who does not seem to be here legally. Problem mostly solved.
If "conservatives" would also hire people who speak English, much of the illegal immigration problem would go away. And, some of the job problems as well. |

+1 Go for the source. Cut the demand, and you will see the supply die off. But, you can bet it's the R business owners who don't want to see higher wages if the illegal immigrants disappear. In the case of illegal immigrant workers, Rs and Dems are on the same side because both sides benefit. So, to OP, you really need to change your Title to read "R business owners and Liberals.." https://www.texastribune.org/2016/12/14/lawmakers-go-easy-employers-undocumented-workers/
