It's outrageous that illegal alien border jumpers are even "considered" for jobs! Support American workers!

excerpt;
Still, many immigrants are not eager to return to the countries they left. The flow of new immigrants has slowed, and some are going back to their home countries, but many are hanging on in North Carolina, scrambling for work and hoping for federal immigration reform.-Hoping for amnesty.

Antonio Rodriguez, who was working at a Raleigh construction site last week, said he will stay in the United States as long as he can. He said work here is getting harder to find, but it is still more plentiful than in his native Mexico City, where he would return to certain poverty.-But it's fine for U.S. citizens to fall into poverty because they can't get work(because the jobs have been filled by illegals), is that what you're saying?

He said many of the problems American workers complain about -- immigrants who work for less and don't stand up for their rights -- could be solved if undocumented people such as him had more legal protections. Without them, he said, he is forced to do whatever his employer asks or risk being fired.-Illegals by law are prohibited from working in the U.S.

I agree with you 100%.

if they are illegal, they have no business being in america.

KICK THE BUMS OUT!!!!!

at times, I feel like lynching the people hiring them here in america. as for the politicians granting them all the freebies, that would be too good for them. if this illegal thing comes to war, I would really like to tar and feather these politicians, and then, take my merry time skinning them "inch by inch".

Sounds like these employers would rather break the law than employ Americans - forced salve labor and the taxpayers pay the difference between the slave wages the employer give and what the illegal aliens need!!

Hate to say this folks. But E verify won't help you. If anything it is more likely to HURT you. They are not using it for it's intended purpose; but against Americans.

Boycott business that hires illegals.

I don't know who you've been talking with but I DO USE E-Verify and hire legal workers. Yes boycott businesses that hire illegals and let them know why you are doing so!

If Mexicans are so darn hard working and law abiding why is Mexico such a hell hole? If Americans ran Mexico it would be a paradise, but now it is just a place for Mexicans to run from and to claim white Americans are racist and unfair to them.

It is their own behavior that has brought about the dislike of illegal aliens. Steal our jobs and take our tax money to feed, educate, and provide health care for people who think they are La Rasa.

I was talking to a business that uses E-verify and they could not be more happy. It seemed a few years back that they had a huge problem with illegal alien like tons of no matches coming back. They a had hired a legal immigrant worker which spread the news through out the community. They were presented with tons of flawlessly fake ID, but after a couple of months they would get no match certificates. They consulted their lawyers about firing the people who presented the fake IDs and were told that they could face discrimination lawsuits. They were up in arms for what they felt now knowingly hiring illegal aliens. Someone suggested that they start using E-verify and then they started using it. They would check the IDs and if they came back with an no match, then the employee had 60-90 days to rectify it. If the employee could not come back with a good SSN, then they were able to fire them. Two reasons - proof that the employee did not have a valid ID (lack of status) and second, they checked all employees and thus, no discrimination.

Yes, e-verify can be extremely helpful!

I know of some illegals who do work hard the first few years they are here. After that, they want top pay and become lazy.
Send them back...

I agree that we should boycot these businesses. If we don't support the business we won't have to support the illegals. The first on the list should be McDonalds. These people are not required to have health checks and should not be touching our food.

I haven't been to a McDonald's in years. Unfortunately, one of my stupid children has. I don't get it. She grabs fast food there and then complains about her indigestion and the fact that her order didn't turn out right.

Too bad that is a lie since there has been humans on the America continent only for 18,000 years. But then again that is what you get when you believe the Mexica movement or Mecha lies! You know that you look like an idiot when you post them.

Daily Horoscope for May 24

Aquarius

In complete contrast to yesterday, you have your head screwed on firmly today. Yet you won't be boringly sensible or drearily practical, so there's no danger of you having turned into a dry old stick overnight. It's a good day for keeping track of important details and processes, such as confirming a forthcoming appointment or filling in a form and then making a copy of it before sending it off.
