LOS ANGELES — Tens of thousands of jobs created by the economic stimulus law could end up filled by illegal immigrants, particularly in big states such as California where undocumented workers are heavily represented in construction, experts on both sides of the issue say.
Studies by two conservative think tanks estimate immigrants in the United States illegally could take 300,000 construction jobs, or 15% of the 2 million jobs that new taxpayer-financed projects are predicted to create.
They fault Congress for failing to require that employers certify legal immigration status of workers before hiring by using a Department of Homeland Security program called E-Verify. The program allows employers to check the validity of Social Security numbers provided by new hires. It is available to employers on a voluntary basis.

Illegal Immigrants are FOREIGN INVADERS and should be treated that way. I have NO remorse for a mexican mother that crosses the border into the USA illegally as an invader.

It's funny to see these two comments made by the same person side by side.
Because truth is more human blood has been shed by american invaders!
now... how about some accountability?
The indians LOST their country. Just like in the animal kingdom - the strongest survive. I have no sympathy for leeches that cross the border looking to suck our system dry and take aid money from deserving Americans that HAVE paid into the system but have now fallen on hard times. THAT is the issue - the economic impact, not this red-herring "poor indians" argument.
