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.

What a surprise. Golly gee, I didn't know that the honorable and most revered Emperor Bush would employ undocumented workers. Ay Caramba, How can this be? I thought the Almighty Bush was above and beyond such activities.

Now I get it... Huffpo meant to say the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT employs undocumented workers. For a minute there, I thought you were implying Bush employed them personally. Wouldn't it be hilarious if readers got the wrong impression?

bush doesn't really know or do anything--he's a dope--however, he is the puppet king and his handlers know exactly what's going on--they planned it

This is not Fox News, our readers are not retarded.

On Fox the comedy news crawl under "Smartline" with Kent Brockman had to be stopped because Fox Viewers though Groening's jokes were real news.

By that criterion, why does Bush call himself the "War President"? Is he personally fighting the war in Iraq?

Have you ever run across that "Buck Stops Here" thingy?

As I read the full story, state, local and other non-federal governmental agencies employ these people. So why is the headline "bush" employing them?

And if the media knows who they are -- and can count them -- why can't ICE, FBI or any other alphabet-soup agency locate the same border-jumpers, arrest them and kick their skanky asses back to their country of origin?

A lot of us came here legally and played by the rules. We learned english and became citizens. It is an insult to me and all the others that the illegals should get jobs and no chance of deportation for breaking the laws governing use of social security numbers, working without proper permits, and illegal entry into the nation.

Fire them all, and kick them out!

Just because they are here illegally does not mean they are "skanky asses". Most of them are just looking for a better life just like our ancestors were.

Most of them of the demographic "EXCESS" of their own countries' failures; they need to "look for a better life" by having one child and working to raise standards in their, native countries; otherwise, they WILL export Third World conditions and attitudes to the West, including the U.S.!

I came here legally. With $300 and the most rudimentary skills as a apprentice carpenter.

I worked hard and played by the rules ... leaned english and became a citizen. I am not a "polish-American". I am an "American."

These illegals are a stain on the very concept of law-abiding citizens --- and they smell in the sun. "Skanky asses" was being polite.

Want something better? start by finding it LEGALLY! They have demonstrated that they are not trustworthy, do not feel bound by laws that govern the rest of society and are willing to impose their third-world values on a society that, although not perfect, is far advanced from where they came. Or they would not have come.

But when you come, leave your problem society behind and become an American. And if you can't do it legally, don't feel insulted or hurt by being found out and called the lying, law breaking scum that you are.

Here's what I read:

What I don't know is if the "top Republican on the House immigration subcommittee" is making shit up, as most Republicans do.

Huh? Wasn't it teddy kennedy, with the help of RINO extordinaire mccain, that came up with the latest amnesity bill? Do you honestly believe that this is just the President?

Even after a very intense out cry by the public telling the house and senate to vote against it a huge majority of dems voted for it.

Why do dems hate America so much?

Bush doesn't like the McCain-Kennedy Amnesty bill because he might have to give the illegal peons working for him a raise to the minimum wage if it passed.

Why do silly little immature partisan cheerleaders always blind themselves to their party's faults and repeat empty, hackneyed slogans that have long ago lost all meaning?

2war please do me a favor. Hold your breath until all the illegals are deported. Of course it was amnesty. Some people believe in giving others a chance. Not like your cruel, vengeful, violent wrath of God credo where people are destroyed or worse yet killed because they crossed you.

Now scream to the heavens "But their illegals dammnit!" and rail at the all the weaklings with feelings. We're so sorry to disappoint you.

We're going to give you the special job of seperating the illegal immigrant Mom's from their legal citizen babies. You can do it your a tough guy.

2warvet: Yes, that fat bastard, Teddy Kennedy, along with a majority of the Dems, voted for Bush's amnesty bill. That includes my 2 dem senators who will NEVER get another vote from this family since we are now recovering democrats and proud Independents. However, you are still a braindead Bushasslicker and proof that even a broken clock is right twice a day.

They probably are not "undocumented", they probably have papers and ID. If they didn't have documents how would they get the job? The documents might be bogus, but calling people undocumented doesn't change the fact that the Administration is doing its usual piss-poor job by not conducting a background investigation, and by not securing our borders. Either that or they don't care that they are hiring illegal aliens.

Trolls may now pipe in with "But Clinton!"

Yes, I know that for a fact. It is estimated that about 5% of the military is 'illegal.' there was a ceremony for a US marine here in Mexico that was killed in Iraq, he was buried in Zacatecas and the mexican media was keen to show he was an illegal alien. He received a postmortem US citizenship to take care of his family which is back in Mexico.

BLOGGIN-B-word, the pre-enlistment background checks are comprehensive. In my time (ages ago) they did criminal background checks at the federal, state, and local levels before the enlistment contract was ever drafted. I suspect that today, with greater access to electronic data, the investigations are even more thorough. They also checked for a valid Social Security card, and the Social Security number eventually replaced the service number. Without a valid SSN, a recruiter would have to falsify the enlistment papers, which is a federal crime.

That's how it is in bush world. Without illegals how else will people like the bush's ever be able to afford to have people to take care of them? Who will cook? Who will cut the grass? Who will raise the flowers? Who will make our drinks, clean our houses? Who will do all the things any good slave would do?
If we open the borders then the top 1% will be able to have as many slaves as they desire. Now what could be wrong with that? Unless you are not one of the 1%, Then it would suck pretty bad. Think about it!

It certainly helps with the bottom line, doesn't it? Those arrogant Americans want livable wages, and it costs so much to run a plantation these days.....we can't stay super wealthy if we have to pay legal wages for "the help".

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.


HUH? What benefits and services? So they don't work, but are receiving benefits and services. I think that's worse!
