If President Bush is serious about getting tough on U.S. employers who hire illegal aliens, he can start with his own administration, which employs thousands of unauthorized workers, says the top Republican on the House immigration subcommittee.

A 2006 audit showed federal, state and local governments are among the biggest employers of the half-million persons in the U.S. illegally using "non-work" Social Security numbers -- numbers issued legally, but with specific instructions that the holders are not authorized to work in the U.S.

To all you hufftards that want to lay this at the feet of the President, answer this question for me.....

Other than wanting to grant amnesity to 12+ million ILLEGAL aliens, what have your dems done to either A) reform the immigration process or B) enforce exsisting laws?

Enforcement of current laws is not just for the President, it is for all those who serve at the federal level, dems and repubs alike. They collectively are selling us out for a "MexAmeriCanada" union. Look at the new "super highway" being bulit in Texas now and will run from Mexico to Canada, it is just the beginning.

The bill that grants amnesty to illegal aliens was also supported by a good many repubs including the President.

So how is the story the same as the headline? Bush didn't employ ANY of these people. The federal, STATE and LOCAL governments. I'll bet my house that most of them are state and local government hirings. I hate liberal misleading headlines.

Did you not read the article? Like most repubs, you only read what you want to read.

"According to the 2006 audit by the Social Security inspector general, 17 of the 100 worst employers using employees with non-work numbers were government agencies: seven federal agencies, seven state agencies and three local government­s."

When will the Americans learn this simple fact: Bush is allowed to violate laws. Even Dems have agreed with that, repeatedly, by giving him authority to do whatever the hell he wants, both domestically and abroad.

Is that why the Democrat-led Congress is at the lowest job approval rating in Gallup's history?

Or it it due to something else? Subverting the U.S. military, perhaps?

Huh?

Can you borrow someone's brain before you try posting?

What has breaking the law to do with low approval ratings or subverting the military?

Some friendly advice for you: when you post what Limbaugh tells you, please first judge if it is at all relevant to the topic.

The Democrats were so upset with the illegal wiretaps, that they passed a law making them legal.
Since we have illegal aliens I expect a law making them legal as well.

Maybe its all the obstruction and filibustering by the RePukes that is keeping anything good for PEOPLE and the Country from getting passed that's lowering those rating's, just saying.

Why is it that when the subject of illegal immigrants comes up the only ones ever mentioned are Mexicans? Are we really that shallow?

They're not the only ones who come up. There are lots of jihadists who are busy learning Spanish, the Mexican culture, changing their names to Hispanic, then walking across our southern border.

Now there's a headline for HuffPost.

Hmmm, I seem to recall some jihadists coming over the Canadian border, which is much larger and much more rural. 60 Minutes did a show on it a few years ago and there are 100's of miles of Canada border that have no protection, fencing or anything. You can just walk across.

When is that fence going to be built?

It stands to reason that Bush would hire illegals to work for his adminsitration. After all, its the kind of work Americans just won't do.

The INS estimates that 20% of illegal immigrants come from places other than latin America.

That's not an answer.

So that means that 80% ARE from latin america. Is it any wonder that people equate illegal alien with hispanic?

If 80% were from Lapland, the hispanica would be off the hook. But until the demographics change, they brought it on themselves. Illegal aliens will be assumed to be hispanic -- and the assumption will be right 80% of the time.

That's gotta be it.

That's why, since 1986, we've let in an estimated 20 million of them illegally. And why we give preferences to them in education, housing, and employment.

But I'm glad to see that you're recognizing your own personal racist tendencies.

HuffPost citing the Washington Times? Wow.

"The Social Security Administration used to, but no longer does, issue non-work numbers to legal aliens who were not authorized to work but needed a number to obtain a federal or state benefit or service. Still, hundreds of thousands of those immigrants used the numbers to get a job.

According to the 2006 audit by the Social Security inspector general, 17 of the 100 worst employers using employees with non-work numbers were government agencies: seven federal agencies, seven state agencies and three local governments. That means the government knows who those employees are, but usually does not go after them."

So more state and local governments are using legal but unemployable aliens than the federal government­."

Not exactly news but, as gcallaghan points out, this is precisely why the current administration doesn't want to crack down on illegal immigration. It's not that he likes Mexicans, it's just that his uber-rich pals want exploitative labour conditions for workers because they want to keep their profit margins up and our poor Mexican brethren are so desperate for work that they will accept any work conditions so their families back home don't starve.

I can just see all those fat cats smoking cigars after a big lunch at the club, all pining for the days of slavery when labour was free.
