Now the question would become, would they fund the enforcement of this law. It has been illegal to be in the US forever, but there are no penalties, so it is worthless.

This has been an issue for law enforcement in this country for a long, long time. The idea is always brought up that fines or penalties could be increased, to fund further enforcement. But what actually happens is, fins and penalties are increased, but the money goes elsewhere. I fear this will be the case here as well.

Nuke, I am surprised you agree with this proposal, which places us in agreement. It is only checking new hires, and only after a system is funded and in place. That is the perfect solution, IMHO.

 

The competing bill would have employers checking every employee.

Something similar existing on the books in the Amnesty act 20 years ago. It wasn't enforced.

More BS posturing. Typical of Congress.

Estimated time before the government agrees to allow WalMart it's own little way around this requirement? 6 weeks after passage.

The key thing is we all will be in a data base and they will be checking our status to work.

That's "key" for sure. More federal govt control over us. Not just the illegal immigrants, or the legal immigrants but all of us.

If you're not an illegal immigrant, what do you have to hide?

The fact that I'm a registered democrat.

Let's all go down and get the chip embedded

Hopefully the House gives the big middle finger to the Senate in conference.
