Dealing with illegal immigration is a priority for legislators this year as public pressure mounts for the state to do something because Congress has failed to act.
**********************

It is coming down to adding pressure to the state legislators to pass immigration reform bills. I think the Congress doesn’t want to be the bad guys and pass any legislation. They can let the state level legislators be the bad guys.

Proof that not all ILLEGAL aliens are Hispanic:

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says there were a total of 225 arrests in Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, New York, Wisconsin and Missouri. The 4-day operation ended Monday.

The individuals arrested had outstanding deportation orders to 12 countries including Mexico, Cuba, Guatemala, India and Poland.

12, 12, 12 countries, not ONE but 12. I am still trying to figure out why Hispanics think they have the market cornered on this ILLEGAL alien issue. I would agree it is racist if we were targeting ONLY Hispanics, but as the article proves, we are not.

I am seeing more and more articles about states looking into E-Verify. They are also introducing and passing legislation regarding ILLEGAL aliens. If this keeps up, E-Verify may not be needed since there will not be any jobs for the ILLEGALS to do. Self deportation out of PWC and the USA is happening. We do not have to worry about deporting them, they will go on their way by themselves. It might not be as fast as we like, but it is coming. More states clamping down on employers with fines and audits for LEGAL workers and interpreting the 14th amendment to what it was intentionally meant to do will help us stem the tide of the invasion.

It is working in AZ and OK and the laws are standing up in court. It will be only a short time before all states have basically the same laws in place.

Is that really any of your business what Greg may or may not do?
