Immigration Bill in DC update:

Amnesty Bill worst than 2007 Bill.

844 pages of legislation, backgrounds checks in new bill are lower than current law,  no triggers in bill. No requirements of defense in border security. Napolitano has 6 months to come up with a plan without having to do anything. Napolitano gets more power. No defined terms, all up to Sec of DHS.

 E-verify is repealed under this bill  and employs new system that is untested and untried and doesn’t need to be in place for 5 yrs. Day laborers no t even on new system. Entry /exit system must be bio-metric, this bill strips this measure after 17 yrs.

Biographical exit/entry system, papers basically. Passports etc. Fencing, requires an actual fence at border Mexico and Us border. Rubio says there is new funding to build fence but it has never happened and Administration has said it won’t happen. High tech fence that can be easily penetrated is their answer.

This is really amnesty! Citizenship line may be in back but these folks are pushed to the top of the jobs line. They have to pay a fine,. Legal immigrants don’t’ get any assistance that these amnesty folks will get. They will only pay $500 fine for being here illegal.

Earmarks, allow Congressman who own/like  certain industries get new guest workers…people will be exploited for these new workers. Exempts American businesses from paying people the same amount as Americans so they can work for cheaper.

SSN fraud being committed which none of these people have to pay legal time for breaking law. Identity theft not prosecuted. These people are not prosecuted for any laws they have broken. US provides assistance to allow them to break the law.

WSJ  wrote article on Obama trying to pass these things as being all political. Then they can use it against House members in 2014 to show they want children killed and don’t like Hispanics. Obama strategy let the bills go to House to be stopped and then he can run against the House in 2014, Truman got elected this way. Our game plan is to beat bill in Senate. Don’t let it get to the House.

Heritage has a report/study coming out on jobs and immigration.

33 million immigrants over 10 yrs. Businesses will pay for the cost of this stuff.

Special interests backing bill: Facebook,Google, Microsoft,unions, BigAG. Lesser skilled people workers who will be paid less.

PETA has purchased a large number of drones to watch elk herd in CO.

Large tea party groups that are national  don't want in on this fightmedia is not covering opposition. Contact district offices to tell them NO to Amnesty!

(iii) knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, conceals, harbors, or shields from detection, or attempts to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, such alien in any place, including any building or any means of transportation;

(iv) encourages or induces an alien to come to, enter, or reside in the United States, knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such coming to, entry, or residence is or will be in violation of law…

Alabama’s tough new illegal immigration law cuts state unemployment

Alabama recently made national news when it passed a strict new illegal immigration law, in fact, the federal government filed a lawsuit against the southern state.

However, a funny thing happened in Alabama, their unemployment rate fell more than a half of a percent last month. State officials suggest the tough new illegal immigration law led to illegals leaving the state and prompted local businesses to hire American citizens and legal immigrants to alleviate unemployment levels.

Alabama’s unemployment rate was 9.3 percent in October and dropped by 0.6 percent or 8.7 percent in November.

“The continued drop is proof that people — American Citizens [and] legal migrants, have suffered at the hands of politicians who choose politics over economics,” said Chuck Ellis, a council member in Northern Alabama’s Marshall County told the Daily Caller.

“What’s amazing is that in Marshall County, a county of 95,000 residents, 30,000 workforce eligible there are over 600 people who now have jobs that they didn’t have six months ago.”

Under Attorney General Eric Holder’s supervision, a Department of Justice (DOJ) representative from the civil-regulation department Tom Perez, has been making plenty of trips to Alabama to encourage disenchanted illegals to file discrimination claims.

The Obama Administration continues their crack down of new state illegal immigration laws in order to keep a 2008 campaign promise to Hispanic lobbies. However, a multitude of issues with the president’s centerpiece legislation, health care overhaul, took more political capital than anticipated.

Plus a historic mid-term election saw Democrats lose control in the House, leaving Hispanics out in the cold as Republicans had no desire to reform immigration legislation.

As a result, Hispanic lobbies urged the Obama Administration to sue New Mexico, South Carolina, Georgia and Arizona.

Just last week, DOJ’s Perez released the results of a years-long investigation into Maricopa County’s Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

2. 95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens. 
3. 75% of people on the most wanted list in Los Angeles are illegal aliens.

1 million undocumented immigrants could live and work in California under newly introduced measure

SACRAMENTO, Calif -- SACRAMENTO, Calif.-Nearly 1 million undocumented immigrants could live and work openly in California with little or no fear of deportation under an initiative unveiled Friday by a state legislator and others.

Assemblyman Felipe Fuentes, a Democrat, is helping to spearhead the measure, called the California Opportunity and Prosperity Act.

The proposal was filed Friday with the state Attorney General's Office, marking a first step toward a drive to collect the 504,760 voter signatures needed to qualify for the ballot.

Fuentes called the measure a "moderate, common-sense approach" necessitated by the federal government's inability to pass comprehensive immigration reform.

"I hope this shows Washington, D.C., that if they fail to act, California will take the lead on this critical issue," Fuentes said in a written statement.

Supporters say the initiative could generate up to $325 million in new tax revenue from undocumented workers that could assist education, public safety and other state programs.

Regardless whether Californians would support such a measure, implementation would depend upon the federal government agreeing not to prosecute participants at the state's request.

Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, a Republican, blasted the proposal as an attempt to sidestep immigration law. He predicted that it wouldn't have a "snowball's chance in hell" of winning voter approval.

"There's a proper process for coming to this country," Donnelly said of undocumented immigrants. "Why don't you respect that?"

The proposed initiative would apply to illegal immigrants who have lived in California for four years, have no felony convictions, are not suspected terrorists, pay a fee to administer the program, and can speak English or are learning it.

Since federal law makes it illegal to hire an undocumented immigrant, the program calls for the state to seek exceptions from the federal government that would provide a "safe harbor" for participants or people who hire them.

As job opportunities improve for the undocumented immigrants, so will California's tax coffers, proponents say.

Proponents touted the measure as continuing California's tradition of enacting trail-blazing policy in areas ranging from environmental protection to medicinal marijuana.

John Cruz, a proponent of the measure and former appointments secretary for Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, said it makes sense to allow undocumented, longtime California residents to "fully contribute to society by becoming taxpayers as well."

Donnelly countered that the federal government is not likely to carve out exceptions for a select group of illegal immigrants.

"It essentially asks the federal government not to enforce the law," Donnelly said.

The names of the initiative's financial backers were not released Friday. It was not known how much money, if any, the group had collected for a signature-gathering drive.

Illegal Aliens Receive $4.2 Billion in Additional Child Tax Credits


What happened to the balanced approach toward revenue?
Posted by Daniel Horowitz (Profile)

Friday, September 2nd at 1:49PM EDT

10 CommentsThroughout the entire debt ceiling imbroglio, Democrats incessantly regurgitated the talking point about the need for “a balanced approach.” They were so uniform and synchronized that they sounded like the sheep in Animal Farm. Ironically, their idea of a balanced approach was singularly focused upon Oil Company and corporate tax deductions, which are negligible compared to the crushing debt. The targeted oil tax deductions would have brought in $2 billion in annual revenue, while the cancellation of the corporate jet depreciation deduction would have saved only $3 billion over 10 years!

Well, it turns out that illegal aliens, most of which pay zero in net taxes, enjoyed $4.2 billion from the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) last year. That’s more than the annual revenue from the selected oil tax deductions and corporate jet deductions combined!

Yesterday, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Collection released a shocking report detailing how illegal aliens are able to utilize a filing loophole to obtain billions in ACTC funds. The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and ACTC (unlike the base child tax credit) are totally refundable and can award the recipient with a negative tax balance. Appropriations for the EITC in FY 2010 were $54.7 billion and $28.3 billion for the ACTC. While EITC appropriations are protected from illegals (those who don’t engage in identity theft) because they are only awarded to those who provide a valid Social Security number, the same cannot be said for the ACTC.

Here is the punchline of the Inspector’s report:


Many individuals who are not authorized to work in the United States, and thus not eligible to obtain a Social Security Number (SSN) for employment, earn income in the United States. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) provides such individuals with an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) to facilitate their filing of tax returns. Although the law prohibits aliens residing without authorization in the United States from receiving most Federal public benefits, an increasing number of these individuals are filing tax returns claiming the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC), a refundable tax credit intended for working families. The payment of Federal funds through this tax benefit appears to provide an additional incentive for aliens to enter, reside, and work in the United States without authorization, which contradicts Federal law and policy to remove such incentives. […]

Because concerns were raised by Congress, the Government Accountability Office, and the IRS regarding noncompliance with EITC requirements, a law was passed in Calendar Year 1996 to deny the EITC to individuals who file a tax return without an SSN that is valid for employment. As such, filers using an ITIN are not eligible for the EITC. The change in the law was made prior to the establishment of the ACTC. However, the same law prohibits aliens residing without authorization in the United States from receiving most Federal public benefits, with the exception of certain emergency services and programs.

Nonetheless, IRS management’s view is that the law does not provide sufficient legal authority for the IRS to disallow the ACTC to ITIN filers. In addition, the Internal Revenue Code does not require an SSN to claim the ACTC and does not provide the IRS math error authority to deny the credit without an examination. As such, the IRS continues to pay the ACTC to ITIN filers.

According to the latest employment data, we’ve lost 2.57 million jobs since Obama took office, even though there are 5.1 million additional people of working age in the country. Illegals are not only competing for scarce jobs; they are enjoying billions in handouts ensconced in the tax system, due to willful negligence on the part of the IRS. For most Americans, they are the most belligerent agency in the government, yet they are suddenly indolent in going after illegals. Obama wants them to clamp down on tax deductions for corporations that pay billions in taxes, while blithely allowing them to ignore billions in refundable handouts to those who shouldn’t be here in the first place.

Talk about a balanced approach.

California’s DREAM Act part 2- public assistance expected to clear Senate

Kimberly Dvorak, San Diego County Political Buzz Examiner
August 26, 2011

Part two of California’s DREAM Act that seeks to provide financial aid for illegal aliens hits the Senate floor. The controversial DREAM Act legislation is expected to pass along party lines that heavily favor Democrats.

AB 131 is sponsored by Democratic Assemblyman Gil Cedillo (D-Los Angeles) and proposes illegal alien students can compete for the $40 million in public financial aid like Cal Grants and other fee waivers.

Earlier this year, California Governor Jerry Brown signed part one of the (DREAM ACT) college package AB 130 into law. This law granted illegal alien students access to the state’s $88 million in private financial aid.

County moves toward E-Verify system
Use of federal database to check prospective workers’ legal status explored

San Diego County took the first step toward requiring all new employees to be screened through a federal database used to check the legal status of prospective workers.

The Board of Supervisors on Tuesday directed county officials to explore the feasibility of using E-Verify during the hiring process. The web-based tool is used by a growing number of cities, counties, states and federal agencies to compare information from an individual’s eligibility form to data kept by the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration.

“County government is one of the biggest employers in the region, and I think we have a responsibility to make sure we are hiring people who are eligible to work,” said Supervisor Bill Horn, who sponsored the proposal along with Dianne Jacob.

“We should set the standards for hiring practices, and I think E-Verify can be a very valuable tool for us.”

Under the proposal, administrators have three months to report to the supervisors whether the program is viable. Beginning exclusively with new hires would allow policymakers to weigh the system’s effectiveness before potentially expanding it to include businesses that contract with the county.

“This action gets, in my viewpoint, the ‘better late than never award,’ ” Jacob said. “In my opinion, our county should have been exploring the use of E-Verify long before today. ... Right now our county is operating under the honor system.”

The current system requires new employees to fill out an I-9 form and be fingerprinted. About 271,500 of the estimated 7 million employers nationwide use the electronic immigration enforcement tool, which began as a pilot program in 1997.

All federal agencies are required to use the free service, and several cities across the state also have adopted it for employees, contractors and businesses.

In March, Escondido became the first city in the county to require all new city employees and city contractors to go through the screening process. Others such as Oceanside indicated plans to follow suit after the U.S. Supreme Court last month upheld an Arizona law that sanctions businesses for hiring illegal workers and endorsed the state’s requirement that companies use the federal screening process.

COURT UPHOLDS AZ E-VERIFY LAW!
WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld an Arizona law that harshly penalizes businesses for knowingly hiring illegal immigrants.

In a ruling that could exert pressure on Congress and other states, the court in what amounts to a 5-3 decision declared that Arizona's law fits within the state's powers and does not infringe on federal turf. . 

"Arizona hopes that its law will result in more effective enforcement of the prohibition on employing unauthorized aliens," Chief Justice John Roberts, Jr. wrote, adding that "the Arizona regulation does not otherwise conflict with federal law."

The highly anticipated decision keeps intact the 2007 Legal Arizona Workers Act. Employers could have their business licenses suspended or revoked for hiring illegal immigrants, under the law.

The law also requires Arizona employers to use a federal program called E-Verify to check the immigration status of potential workers. Justices likewise upheld this provision, with Robert calling it "entirely consistent" with federal law.

The decision affirms the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which had likewise upheld the state law. It is a defeat for the politically powerful U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Obama administration, both of which had opposed the Arizona law. 

"Either directly or through the uncertainty that it creates, the Arizona statute will impose additional burdens upon lawful employers," Justice Stephen Breyer wrote in dissent.
Breyer, joined by justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor, added that fearful employers may now "erect ever stronger safeguards against the hiring of unauthorized aliens, without counterbalancing protections against unlawful discrimination."

By Edwin Mora (CNSNews.com) --When questioned by an illegal alien student today who showed him a deportation letter, President Barack Obama said he did not want to deport illegal alien students like the one who questioned him, he wanted them to succeed. The exchange came during a town hall event sponsored by the Spanish-language television networkUnivision at a Washington, D.C., school. An illegal alien student, who appeared via Skype, asked: “My question for the president is, why [is the government] saying that deportations have stopped or the detention of many students like me, why is it that we are still receiving deportation letters like this one?”Obama answered, “We have redesigned our enforcement practices under the law to make sure that we’re focusing primarily on criminals, and so our deportation of criminals are up about 70 percent. Our deportation of non-criminals are down, and that’s because we want to focus our resources on those folks who are destructive to the community.“And for a young person like that young woman that we just spoke to who’s going to school, doing all the right things, we want them to succeed," Obama said.Read More . . .
