Make E-Verify the Law

Comment Up

Balderdash. Rubbish. Baloney. Bull.

To me, the illegal immigration situation has never been about jobs that Americans refuse to do. Even FLIMEN is using that excuse to sell the idea of kicking the illegal out of town. Americans losing their jobs to illegals may be true but primarily that excuse is all propaganda coming from industry that wants to use cheap labor, the very same people who jack up prices whenever they please. Instead of the government extending unemployment benefits, perhaps some of these people would actually go out and get a job even if it is "beneath them."

I did not vote for Adam Putnam for Commissioner of Florida's Agricultural Commission for one main reason--he believes an exception should be made to illegal immigration when it comes to those aliens working the farms. There should never be an exception to the law. That is something a Court should decide, not Putnam.

Farm laborers who want to work in America need to get a Green card, a Visa, or get a U.S. citizenship application and wait their turn just like everyone else--not sneak across our border, live here and never go home, have children here and force labor costs down, making big farmers more wealthy than they are now.

The big farmers get government subsidies to influence the cost and supply of goods. The Agri industry has constant and influential wheeling dealing going on. Farm subsidies have the direct effect of transferring income from the general tax payers to farm owners. How ironic is that when we witness the escalating prices in the grocery store every week.

William D. Snyder who is running for Sheriff of Stuart, is right when he states that we should implement the E-Verify System and implies that Americans should be happy with a job, any job, rather than free-loading on the system. And that's the problem. As long as some of the unemployed who qualify for this type of farm laboring job can get an unemployment check for another 99 weeks, they are going to take their time looking for a job. The highest amount you can receive is now at $300 a week.

It is past-time to make E-Verify the law.

  1. ¿One thing we all need to remember is that the illegals are really human trafficked here, it is big business and someone is making a lot of money on it. The other is that there are anywhere from 12 million to over 20 million illegals in this country it is estimated. I read recently that the USA has 13 million poeple unemployed now and out of work, why can´t we give the work th eillegals do to the unemployed US citizens and problem solved?
