#1 Another reason why this is merely farce. These idjits can't get out of their own way. Remember what they did with the biometric ID's at the border. Took extra 30 seconds to use them, so they just quit doing it without getting anyones approval. And we believe they'll do something slightly challenging like work verification ? Bwa-ha-ha-haaaa !

#2 Bye the bye, did anyone take note how the miscreant with the dangerous strain of TB just motored in from Canada although he was on the watch list at the border ? Bwa-ha-ha-haaa!

#3 Even the slightest effort to make getting work more difficult will result in a LOT more avoidance and evasion of "the process". In this case, not only will a lot of employers start to pay their workers cash, and to heck with the paperwork; but they will also come up with alternative schemes.

One such is to have "working shareholders" instead of employees. Paid in shares redeemable for cash, with the owner keeping 51% of shares. It benefits everyone in several ways.

The employees get paid more, because they pay the much lower capital gains tax instead of the 50% income tax and FICA. And if they leave their money with their employer, they are paid a dividend a lot higher than bank interest.

And the employer saves a lot of money if the shareholders leave the money with him, because he can use that money for capital improvements instead of taking out expensive bank loans.

And because working shareholders are not employees, they are not covered by OSHA rules, can work in a cigarette smoky environment, and aren't under a ton of other onerous government regulations.

#4 At any rate, we must stop this farce from becomming law. I sincerely question what Bush expects to gain with this runaway freebee.
Donations to the GOP have dried up, faxes and phone calls run 90 percent against amnesty. Even the donks are under pressure to can it.
Politics has taken a turn for the surreal.

#5 Well, at least I'll have my "Z" visa. I imagine Lord Luvaduck (my new identity) will have plenty of supporters to give him money and stuff...

#6 these are the same people that told us flight 327 was not an issue.
and that a fence won't work.
and it will drive the cost of a drive thru meal through the roof; can you imagine the cost to vet all the 'do ya want fries with that' workers?

#7 I called the RNC earlier this week and told them to take me off the membership list.

Then I got a letter from Steele, he's the head of GOPAC?? now and they wanted seed money to train people on how to write press releases, etc, grassroots level in VA, NJ, MS and LA???

I wrote them sorry, this yahoo doesn't have pesos.
