The latest on the illegal alien front, and how unions make it worse

.
Fascinating article about the amateurish steps taken by the Obama Administration to address the growing illegal alien problem.

Seems the administration is taking the stealth approach to doing the same thing Bush did... Bush was just a lot louder about it.

Now, I don't fault the Obama effort to actually address this issue: the effort itself is part of a strategy I actually support, which is to hold employers accountable for holding up their end of the illegal alien destination resort equation. I DO fault them for failing to round these scum up and deport them, but half a loaf is better than none.

And I also fault the efforts of both this administration's, and the last's, efforts to avoid checking out the union membership the same way.

Unions should undergo the same types of audits that employers face. And if unions have illegal aliens on their membership roles, then they, too, should face the same penalties.

They don't, of course. Here's the money quote:
Service Employees International Union Local 6, which represents about 280 of Seattle Building's workers, said as many as 150 of them might be undocumented.
So, if the clown running this union KNOWS that,,, then why isn't the union held accountable for aiding and abetting these illegal aliens? How is it that these scum can HELP these people break the law with impunity?

Sergio Salinas, SEIU Local 6's president, said the union has filed grievances against Seattle Building over the firings but admitted there's nothing it can do to stop them.

So, this union KNOWS that these scum are here illegally; knows they've been HIRED illegally, knows they've been FIRED legally, but filed grievances ANYWAY?

He said unlike other immigration investigations elsewhere, Seattle Building used E-Verify to ferret out those on its payroll who might be illegal — something a spokeswoman for the Homeland Security, which administers the program, call an "inappropriate" use of E-Verify. The system is intended to be used for new hires — not to check existing employees.
So, using a tool provided by the government to ferret out illegal hires is "inappropriate?" WHY can't "existing employees" be checked? In fact, why shouldn't the unions use the same thing to check THEIR MEMBERSHIP?

So, you truly do learn something new every day: you learn that, in part, unions break the law much like they did in the days of Hoffa.

And no one is doing anything about it.

NO MASS EXPENSIVE DEPORTATION IS NEEDED? E-VERIFY IS VASTLY BECOMING THE IDENTIFICATION FEDERAL COMPUTER APPLICATION IN REMOVING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IN THE WORKPLACE. UNABLE TO WORK--THEY WILL LEAVE.
In this disastrous recession our politicians must be savoring being unemployed themselves, if they force America into another Amnesty. Even if there was no downturn in the economy, taxpayers should not be a deep reservoir of welfare cash for illegal aliens and their families, How can they even conceive an such an idea of AMNESTY when so many of the legal population is wondering how they are going to feed their family? Every last one of them must be hounded down and told, DO NOT SIGN ON FOR A 2009-10 AMNESTY?

THERE WILL BE NASTY REPERCUSSION IN THE VOTING BOOTH, STARTING WITH SENATOR HARRY REID OF NEVADA, EVEN SEN. JOHN McCAIN NEXT YEAR? MAJORITY SPEAKER NANCY PELOSI WILL BE CLOSE BEHIND FOR THE WRECKING BALL? Warn all politicians at 202-224-3121, or go to their offices in person. Read about corruption and sanctuary city policies so GOOGLE--NUMBERSUSA, JUDICIAL WATCH. ALIPAC, CAPSWEB, AMERICAN PATROL & THE DARK SIDE OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. Tell them E-Verify must be made permanent, to start the "ATTRITION" enforcement procedure for every illegal worker in America? Identification of fraudulent documents is a difficult problem for any employer, but if there is some suspicion send the new hire to the local Social Security to resolve the issue. It's very unlikely that any illegal immigrant will even tread near the entrance of the SSA agency? Now what can you do for AMERICA? YOU CAN USE YOUR VOTE! VOTING--OUT SEN. HARRY REID WILL BE A GOOD START THAT WILL ALARM THEM ALL! We cannot afford overpopulation growth, or corrupt politicians pandering to illegal immigrant and open border proponents anymore?
