Steve Bannon urges ICE to target businesses employing illegal aliens

Steve Bannon Calls on Kristi Noem to Target Businesses Employing Illegal Aliens

Steve Bannon called on ICE to conduct high-profile raids on businesses that knowingly employ undocumented workers, urging the arrest and “perp walk” of CEOs and COOs to deter illegal hiring.

He pressed for expanded state and local cooperation under ICE’s 287(g) program—pointing to Florida’s model.

Bannon proposed a three-strike penalty system for offending employers, escalating from warnings and fines to criminal charges on the third offense, aiming to eliminate the job magnet driving illegal immigration.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis set the model for state cooperation with ICE on enforcing immigration law.

He signed a bill that required that every sheriff’s department and certain branches of state law enforcement participate in ICE’s 287(g) program that deputized them to enforce certain federal immigration laws.

New Florida Immigration Laws

Immigration laws to change in Florida

As of Saturday, Florida will enact some of the strictist anti-immigration laws in the country.

CS/CS/SB 1718 - Immigration makes the following changes:

  • Transporting a minor or more than five undocumented people into the state carries a second-degree felony penalty.
  • Companies with 25 or more employees will have to use the federal E-Verify system when hiring workers. Penalties for employers who don’t verify their employees’ status could face suspension of their licenses to operate.
  • Local governments will be banned from contributing money to organizations creating ID cards for undocumented immigrants, and driver’s licenses issued to non-citizens will be barred from use in Florida. Illegal migrants also could face felony charges by displaying a false ID to obtain employment.
  • Hospitals receiving state and federal Medicaid reimbursements will be required to track how much money is spent on undocumented immigrants in emergency rooms and must ask if a patient is in the country legally.
  • A 2014 law that allowed undocumented immigrants to be admitted to practice law in Florida will be repealed.
  • The Division of Emergency Management’s Unauthorized Alien Transport Program get $12 million to continue the migrant-relocation program of transporting asylum-seekers to different places around the country.

Immigrants/Illegals protest Florida Law when they are breaking the Law

Activists in Jupiter, Lake Worth Beach Protest Florida Law

Those on the other side of law continue to justify why they are needed.

And they always come to Lake Worth Beach where this sort of action is encouraged and diversity welcomed by these liberal commissioners.

Protesters took to the streets in Jupiter and at City Hall in Lake Worth Beach this past weekend to oppose new state legislation that targets undocumented immigrants, warning it will starve key industries of workers and further marginalize the many undocumented residents who call South Florida home.

Several dozen immigrants and activists marched and waved signs in separate events in the two cities, the latest in a series of manifestations against the new law, Senate Bill 1718, which takes effect July 1.

The protesters warned that the legislation, which requires businesses to check job applicants’ legal status and makes it a crime to transport an undocumented immigrant into the state, will prompt many undocumented immigrants to leave and could discourage others from calling police during emergencies or seeking medical care. That's part of their argument.

Palm Beach Post article

CS/CS/SB 1718: Immigration

GENERAL BILL by Fiscal Policy ; Rules ; Ingoglia

Immigration; Prohibiting counties and municipalities, respectively, from providing funds to any person, entity, or organization to issue identification documents to an individual who does not provide proof of lawful presence in the United States; specifying that certain driver licenses and permits issued by other states exclusively to unauthorized immigrants are not valid in this state; requiring certain hospitals to collect patient immigration status data information on admission or registration forms; requiring the Department of Economic Opportunity to enter a certain order and require repayment of certain economic development incentives if the department finds or is notified that an employer has knowingly employed an unauthorized alien without verifying the employment eligibility of such person, etc. APPROPRIATION: $12,000,000

Illegals and undocumented immigrants who crossed into our country are breaking our law.

Governor DeSantis taking a stand against Illegals in Florida

DeSantis Vows to ‘Fight Back’ Against Biden’s Open Border Agenda, Announces Sweeping New Measures

Governor Ron DeSantis is taking action to stop the Biden-backed flood of illegal immigration in Florida. The governor’s office announced Thursday that it would push the state legislature to increase penalties for human smuggling, strengthen laws surrounding the detention of illegal migrants, and mandate the use of E-Verify by employers. The governor said he proposed the new measures in response to “the deleterious effects of the Left’s open borders agenda.”

“With this legislation, Florida is continuing to crack down on the smuggling of illegal aliens, stopping municipalities from issuing ID cards to people here illegally, and ensuring that employers are hiring American citizens or those here legally,” DeSantis said in a statement.

The new measures will also require public and private employers’ universal use of E-Verify to determine employment eligibility. Local governments will be prohibited from issuing IDs to illegal aliens (Are you listening LAKE WORTH?), and all out-of-state licenses given to illegal immigrants will be invalidated. The measures also include new election protections, requiring newly-registering voters to verify they are legal Florida residents.

DeSantis Warns employers on E-Verify Law

DeSantis Admin Gets Tough on Illegal Immigration, Warns Employers

The Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) sent letters to six companies requiring they provide documentation proving they are following the Sunshine State’s E-Verify law.

The law requires private employers to verify a person’s employment eligibility after accepting an offer for a job.

The state requires an affidavit from each company to demonstrate they are performing the verifications. The affidavit must say that the company has terminated the employment of all unauthorized aliens employed by the company in the state of Florida, will not intentionally or knowingly employ an unauthorized alien in the state of Florida, will fully comply with section 448.095(3)(b), Florida Statutes.

The law was enacted on January 1st, 2021, after a DeSantis signature in 2020.

E-Verify bill filed in Florida

E-Verify Bill Filed!

"SB 664: Verification of Employment Eligibility was recently filed in the Florida Legislature for the 2020 Session which starts in January, 2020. E-Verify is supported by Gov. DeSantis which will greatly increase the chance of passage.

Florida Governor Signals Another Push for E-Verify System

:
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis urged lawmakers Tuesday to pass legislation that would require employers to use a federally operated electronic database to verify the immigration status of workers.

But it's unclear if that effort will get any traction among lawmakers during next year's legislative session, after a similar measure failed to make it to his desk earlier this year." Write your legislatures...let's get it passed. [Numbers USA]

Guess where people are relocating?

Looking to move from highly taxed states, people are moving to...you guessed it--FLORIDA.

Let's just hope they don't bring their liberal and socialistic beliefs with them.

And Governor DeSantis, please enact E-Verify.

Donald Trump to use E-Verify

Trump Organizations to implement E-Verify

The Trump Organization, responding to claims that some of its workers were in the U.S. illegally, said on Wednesday that it will use the E-Verify electronic system at all of its properties to check employees’ documentation.

Let's hope that E-Verify can discern who is a legal and who isn't with all their fake documents.

Illegal Housekeeper at Trump Organization wants asylum

Housekeeper who worked illegally at Trump golf resort alleges mistreatment

Now who put this illegal up to this?

Donald Trump and his organizations hire those with the proper documentation...PERIOD. Victorina Morales presented false documents to get the job at his Bedminster National Golf Club in New Jersey (a liberal crazy state) and admitted that Donald Trump tipped her well--$50 to $100. She has worked for his organization for 5 years...still doesn't speak English and that shows how much she thinks about our country--NADA.

Have you ever had an employer who personally tipped you? This Guatemalen woman is being used and now wants to file an asylum claim and sue the Trump organization for discrimination laws, a woman who was hired under fraudulent documents. Put her in jail.

People are getting more bold and brazen and liberal lawyers taking on their cases should be sanctioned. If you are illegal, get out of this country and apply for citizenship and obey United States laws. Also, end the Anchor Baby law and implement E-Verify immediately. Enough is enough.

Phony Democrats will have a field day on this one and that's what it's all about--
bringing down President Trump on any phony charge they can dream up. And screw the Dreamers...BUILD THE WALL.

We need E-Verify


Economist George Borjas of Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government estimates that illegal immigration reduces native-born workers’ wages by between $99 billion and $118 billion a year. The economic gains from illegal immigration, he finds, flow mainly to those who employ illegal workers.

Isn't it high time that we had E-Verify as a state and federal law?  Florida, Indiana, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Texas mandate E-Verify for public employees and state contractors--we need E-verify for ALL workers. [LawLogix]

Congress must mandate E-Verify

Pres. Trump mobilizes National Guard to stop newest border surge, but only Congress can stop future surges by closing loopholes and mandating E-Verify

E-Verify is a United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) website that allows businesses to determine the eligibility of their employees, both U.S. or foreign citizens, to work in the United States.

H.R. 4760 - Securing America's Future Act

Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) has introduced H.R. 4760, the Securing America's Future Act. This legislation would:

• End Chain Migration
• End the Visa Lottery • Require all employers to use E-Verify within 2 years
• End Sanctuary Cities
• Secure the border
• Grant renewable visas and work permits to approximately 690,000 DACA recipients

H.R. 4760 has 85 cosponsors and is, by far, the best DACA proposal on the table in Congress, says Numbers USA.

Outlaw businesses that hire Illegal Aliens

"The recent passage of mandatory E-Verify by the U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee brings us one step closer to ending the root cause of most illegal immigration into the United States — outlaw businesses that hire illegal immigrants. Illegal border crossings, visa overstays, and children born in the United States to parents here illegally would all be dramatically reduced or eliminated if we ended the ability for outlaw employers to take advantage of those that arrive here illegally.

There are hundreds of thousands of young-adult children of undocumented immigrants who have been here since childhood because we have allowed outlaw employers to hire and employ their parents illegally for decades. Roughly one-half of the nation’s undocumented immigrant population results from visitors who entered legally but who do not leave when their time is up because Congress continues to refuse to mandate the well-tested and widely used E-Verify system. When visitors sense that illegal employment is widespread, the temptation to break their visa agreements grows stronger."

E-Verify passes in U.S. Judiciary Committee

LAST NIGHT'S VOTE WAS A BIG MILESTONE,

The U.S. House of Representatives Judiciary Committee last night voted 20-10 for H.R. 3711. The bill would require every employer to use the electronic E-Verify system to guarantee that U.S. jobs go only to American workers and foreign citizens with official work permits.
No more hiring of illegal foreign workers under this bill.

This has for 21 years been NumbersUSA's TOP PRIORITY for fighting illegal immigration. I believe it would be more effective than all other proposals combined in stopping future illegal migration.
NumbersUSA activists were successful in pushing the House Judiciary Committee to pass similar E-Verify bills on Sep. 21, 2011, on Dec. 16, 2014 and on March 3, 2015.

But first, Republican Speaker John Boehner, and then, Republican Speaker Paul Ryan, blocked the E-Verify bill from coming to the floor for a vote. They were largely believed to have been bowing to the wishes of the agri-business lobbyists who wanted to protect their ability to hire an illegal work force. [NumbersUSA]

Obama flashback on Illegal Immigration - Don't let the liberals kid ya

It wasn't that long ago that the Democrats approved of this stand on illegal aliens. But socialism and communism has reared its ugly head in the United States. For the most part, it now constitutes the Democratic Party.

Great news on E-verify - Moving ahead in Florida

From Numbers USA

Once every twenty years, Florida's Constitution provides for the creation of a revision commission for the purpose of reviewing Florida's Constitution. The Constitution Revision Commission will hold public hearings across the state over the next 12 months to identify issues and evaluate possible changes to the Constitution. One such change being promoted by the group Floridians For E-Verify Now is a constitutional amendment requiring employers to use E-Verify to check the workplace eligibility of new hires.

>See the E-Verify constitutional amendment at www.floridiansforeverifynow.org

E-Verify is a proven federal system for reserving American jobs for citizens and legal residents. For years, Florida activists tried to persuade the state legislature to protect American workers by making E-Verify usage mandatory but were denied time and again. Now the Constitution Revision Commission provides an alternative vehicle for adopting E-Verify. Any amendment proposed by the Commission will be placed on the 2018 General Election ballot, and would need 60 percent approval by voters to be added to the Constitution.

You can take action by attending upcoming Constitutional Revision Commission's public hearings and voicing support for the proposed E-Verify Amendment. Below are the first hearings. We will notify you about subsequent ones.

Friday, April 7 beginning at 9:00 a.m.
Florida Atlantic University (FAU)
FAU Stadium, Acura Club (third floor)
777 Glades Road, Boca Raton, Fla. 33431
*Complimentary parking will be available. Doors open to the public beginning at 8:00 a.m.

You also can take action by participating in two upcoming efforts by Floridians For E-Verify Now. They are developing an online petition you can sign asking the Commission to place the E-Verify Amendment on the 2018 Ballot. This petition will be given to the commission to demonstrate state wide support for our proposed amendment. The group also is mounting a postcard campaign to the Commission for the same purpose.

Monitor www.floridiansforeverifynow.org for postings on these efforts. They will be ready soon.

We need E-Verify


Now that Donald Trump will soon be the president of the United States, it is time that Congress pass E-Verify and send a clear message to the world that American jobs are for U.S. citizens and to those immigrants with work visas.

Roy Beck of Numbers USA said, “We’ve been in the wilderness, and overnight we are not anymore.”  It is time for Congress to do the compassionate thing and pass a mandatory E-Verify bill.

Today, E-Verify is:
  • Used nationwide by more than 600,000 employers of all sizes
  • Used at more than 1.9 million hiring sites
  • Joined by about 1,400 new participating companies every week
  • One of the federal government’s highest-rated services for customer satisfaction.

E-Verify

Florida Executive Orders - Effective Jan. 2011, Executive Order (EO) 11-02 requires E-Verify used by all state agencies and contractors assigned to perform work pursuant to a state agency contract. EO 11-116 clarifies that the E-Verify requirement for state contractors applies to "all contracts for the provision of goods and services to the state in excess of nominal value." Penalties include possible denial of future projects.
