Illegal immigrants might get stimulus jobs, experts say

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.

stop acting like a patriot?

This IS our land, we live here, it is OUR land. I will be damned if anybody can take that away from me. If they do, it will be MY community that takes it away from me, not foreigners. STOP with all this "well so many years ago this wasnt yourland" BS. Its Our land now! Its ALWAYS been my land. Whos land do you think it is? As far as I am concerned, it is our land until we are forced off of it. But since its "nobodys" land, I guess that would mean nobody would have the right to take it away now would they?
Stop with this 'humane' crap. They are criminals just like the above poster stated, they knew by comming here illegally that they were committing a crime and that they shouldnt be here in the first place, yet they do it anyway without any respect towards the people who are living here.
Imagine you were a Native American(cherokee for ex.)..and you try sneaking your way into Apache territory trying to 'blend in' with them, and they caught you...do you think that they would say "hey its ok, we are all human". Hell no, they would cut off your scalp and leave you for dead. Us, along with the rest of the nations around the world feel the same way.
NOT EVEN THE GOVT can force us off our land without a fight.
MORE PEOPLE NEED TO BE PATRIOTIC!!!!
Men and women die everyday protecting our land, so you need to come to grips with reality, pretty damned quick.

Sorry for the rant people, but people like that kill me.

go ahead take a swing.

Guess what - more AMERICAN blood has been shed defending the Constitution of the United States and this land the past 233 years than any Indians losing "their land".

BTW - did you ever read how cruel the Indians were to settlers?? Scalping? Stealing the women? They asked for it. They were weaker and where conquered. Just like in Nature - yea, kinda like they way EVERYTHING goes in the animal kingdom on this PLANET.

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?


Tough. The mexicans HAVE their own country. The indians LOST their land (they never organized to create one unified nation - they fought each other while fighting settlers). 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.

If you honestly believe, as a Canadian, you would like to see AMERICANS crossing the border in droves and taking your jobs, then by all means let me know. I'm sure there are a few million workers here looking for some nice jobs and would take lower pay. How do you feel about that? Or would you help pay for them? I'm sure you would

Balls in your court bro
