In the USA unemployment is over 9%, seems stuck there, but the legislators are intent on making illegal immigration easier. Where's the worker conscious out there. Where's the middle class morality. It seems to me a job is job and if you have jobs they should go to the locals first. The Churches, the Unions and various think tanks are all signed on to this, lets steal a job from a born here American. Deep in a crisis they have still not sorted out the facts of life. Do you get it? I want to hear your comment.



USCIS Memo Helps Implement Backdoor Amnesty

email imageU.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issued a policy memo on November 7 to assist Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in implementing the Obama Administration’s backdoor amnesty program. This backdoor amnesty program began earlier this year when ICE announced through the Morton memos that it would selectively enforce immigration laws and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced she was establishing a new interagency working group dedicated to administratively closing pending and future deportation cases.

Senators Defend State Immigration Laws

email imageSenators Jim DeMint (R-SC), Jeff Sessions (R-AL), and David Vitter (R-LA) introduced a bill Thursday that would prohibit federal funding for Department of Justice (DOJ) lawsuits seeking to invalidate state immigration enforcement laws. The bill provides that the federal government may not use taxpayer dollars to participate in any lawsuit seeking to overturn, enjoin, or otherwise invalidate existing state immigration enforcement laws. It then goes on to list the specific state laws the DOJ may not challenge, including: Oklahoma HB 1804; Missouri HB 390; Arizona SB 1070; Utah HB 497; Indiana SB 590 and HB 1402; Alabama HB 56; South Carolina S 20; and Georgia HB 87.

Canada is finally tightening our immigration laws.

I can't understand the reluctance of the Americans to address the illegal immigrant problem. Then, they go to extremes to 'Visa" the northern border as if that is where the problem lie.

It's simple: Federal minimum wage laws. The Yanks know that the only way to get their fruit picked, dishes washed and hotel rooms cleaned is to "allow" illegals in, who aren't subject to minimum wage legislation, to do that work. They don't have to worry about Canadians sneaking across their northern border to change linens at $20 a day.

We doing the same thing, just in a more orderly fashion. Allow floods of immigrants, don't recognize their credentials and they'll be glad to work for min wages and keep wages low. It's better than the US, but it's still a shame.

And while the Reformacons have been making some noises about immigration reform, so far it's more sound than fury.
