Previous thread generated no response..thought the title was misleading so I'm trying again..

Todays sun had an article By Michael Doyle. In it he stated the GOP was trying to get a law on the books requiring all states to verify legitimacy of residential status in order to be employed within the US..To me it's a no brainer and of course e ought to enforce immigration laws to the max...

What surprised me is that there are only eighteen states currently using this system across the board...AND FLORIDA is NOT one of them..Fl only checks the eligibility(read legal immigrant) status of applicants for state jobs...Seems a little hypocritical to me as we recently passed a tough immigration law that is being challenged in the courts by the far left(not me). I urge my conservative(tea party) friends to give Gov Scott a call and find out what gives?..

The proposed bill has some certain,bogus to get buy in from Agribuisness,exemptions that are also quite ridiculous..It's either legal or it AIN'T

hrp01,

Here my take on all this.

The "D"s see the illegals as new voters for them.

The "R"s see them as cheap labor for their corporate buddies.

This leaves them caught in the middle.

I see them as criminals, the same as if you broke into my house and then expected me to feed, cloth and give you medical support.

Enforce our immigration laws or open the border and forget about us every being a country.

Do you really think the "D"s do not see them as cheap labor for their corporate buddies?!?!!???? Or that the "D"s don't have "corporate buddies"???

Enforcement. A term that stirs the very heart of every politician.....especially when it comes to reelection.

Just like energy independence is easy to achieve with multiple benefits for every American...but the politicians do nothing (for over 40 years...and we the people remain consistently silent).....not enforcing the immigration laws is even easier with multiple benefits....how much easier can it be than to enforce the laws already on the books? What is it about doing something illegal, that causing so many to not take action? But the politicians do nothing and we the people remain consistently silent.

The silent majority is the politicians best advocacy group by default. And the politicians have no remorse or give a thought to the result of doing nothing because they know....THEY KNOW....nothing will happen no matter what they do or don't do...legal or illegal.

The silent majority deserves what it gets.

btk~Look at the opposition that Arizona and their Governor had to deal with by attempting to enforce their immigration laws. What do you suggest the Silent Majority do to change things?

Good question. I want to know why when a State (Arizona) tries to enforce their laws, the feds come in and say do not enforce the laws. Is this just an attempt by the White House to garner the Hispanic vote?

I would be careful about making such broad statements. This "D" is hardliner on illegals as are many in the Southwest and West.

A while back I posted the richest members of congress. Surprise surprise, the democrats top the list of the wealthiest members of our spendthrift elite.

The "D"s count them as votes, but try to never let the media know that they are also cheap labor for their corporate buddies. The "D"s blame the "R"s for the cheap labor gig. The "R"s don't seem to count to many as potentional voters because of their stance on immigration.

What bothers me the most is the human sex slave trade that is going on. This is one part of the illegal immigration that you don't hear lots about. Smuggling humans now has become more profit able that smuggling dope. You can only sell your dope once, but that young boy or girl can be sold over and over and, get the message. Then sold one last time before being put out on the street, diseased, sick and dying.

Lots of "D"s are against illegal immigration, the "D"s that I am referring to are those elected criminals in Foggy Bottom. I know lots of "D"s that want our borders sealed and our immigration laws enforced, same as there are plenty "R"s that want open borders and no enforcement.

Just a question for the good people on the forum - As you know, the Villages Developer does check the legal status of their contractors. However, the sub-contractors do not have the requirement to check the legal status of their workers. We have all seen the workers building the houses and villas here in The Villages - and they work HARD. Lots and lots of economic boom to the local economy down here.

The question is: do you think that the local ICE should come into The Villages and start checking individual workers for proof of legal status and if they are found to be illegal workers, bind them over for deportation?

Part 2 of the question: if that happened, what would happen to the economic boom that The Villages construction is offering down here and how would it affect the building of more homes and villas?

What will it take?
It will take every single person you know to write to their representatives, both houses and Obama stating exactly how you feel and what you expect THEM to do about it as our REPRESENTATIVES.

TOTV population/members could be an example. Of the members how many are in political....pretty small number. Of those in political, how many write their representatives and Obama? Statistically we know it will be less than 20%, but I bet it is not 1/4 of that.

Take the population of TV 80,000 or so. How many write their representatives TELLING them what is not liked about an issue...any issue....or what is expected of THEM.
I will bet the number would be less than 5000....maybe a lot less than that.

Until such time as there is an overwhelming change in the number of people who go after their representatives, nothing will happen.

Over the years I have tried everything...giving people lists of their reps and addresses, providing form letters on an issue, providing email contacts with a formatted letter to be customized by an individual, even provided addressed/stamped envelopes and a copy of a letter for the individual to customize to their style. Accomplishment over the years? Too small to even take any credit...I would give me a low mark on accomplishment.

That has to change to make a difference. And it would make a difference. Waiting for an election does not work...too much happens in between. And talk of failing accomplishment...out of the registered voters how many actually vote. Less than half. Of the total eligible to register, how many registered? If I said 1/4 I might be too high.

The politicians know this. History is on the politicians side as they know the status quo, business as usual by we the people means voting and writing/contacting politicians is somebody elses job.

Until that changes nothing will happen....AND THE POLITICIANS KNOW AND COUNT ON IT.

Another example of a major issue affecting the American people, so easy to solve and nothing gets done.

Just look at the successes special interest groups and lobbyists get. Because the representatives are being told by them what to do.

That is what it is going to take. Nothing new. Hence the term the silent majority....because they are.
