Senate sources tell Michelle Malkin that the Obama Administration, which owes quite a bit to open-borders groups for its mere presence in the White House, is preparing to gut one of the very few things the Bush Administration did right on immigration: E-Verify.
For those unfamiliar with the system, E-Verify is an internet-based system run by the Department of Homeland Security that allows employers to verify the employment eligibility of potential hires. It verifies Social Security numbers provided on employment applications, makes sure the individual is legally allowed to work in the United States, and provides a free way for employers to ensure that they’re complying with the law.
But what Michelle Malkin is hearing from her Hill sources is that the Obama Administration will repeal Executive Orders dealing with the crucial system. For example, companies with federal contracts won’t have to use E-Verify to ensure that current employees are employment-eligible. American tax dollars will go to pay the salaries of illegal aliens.
Then there’s this in regards to the Social Security “No Match” system:
DHS could also announce that it will rescind the No Match rule, which provides a safe harbor process for employers who receive a No Match letter from SSA, can follow in order to terminate the employee without repercussion. SSA “no-match” letters alert employers to the fact that they have submitted Social Security tax withholdings based on Social Security account numbers that do not match SSA records as to issued numbers and corresponding names.
The rule, which will be rescinded – proposed as a “safe harbor” for employers – steps to be taken when they receive a No Match letter from SSA. If the steps are taken for the employees who submitted suspect Social Security numbers and if the employer is later audited/investigated by DHS for hiring illegal immigrants, the employer can use the fact that he took the steps laid out in the rule as a defense to a charge of illegally employing those illegal immigrants for which the No Match letter was issued.
Businesses requested that such a process be laid out so that they were no longer subject to lawsuits.
Basically we’re gutting a system employers use to ensure that American tax dollars aren’t going to pay the salaries of individuals who have entered the country illegally and taken jobs that, frankly, quite a few Americans could use at this time of almost double-digit unemployment. Which is what happens when you have a White House more dedicated to paying back open-borders groups than protecting American workers and employers.

Do I have it wrong? Are the politicians we elect in office, supposedly work for the majority of the American people? Isn’t that what their oath of allegiance is to protect and represent–THE PEOPLE? Isn’t that what they get paid humongous salaries for, including platinum heath care and extended lists of benefits? Yet these creeps have confused illegal immigrants, with the legal population of this country? Where illegal immigration is concerned, they have cheated the taxpayer? Not only have the legislators made it a civil offense, to unlawfully enter these United States without being inspected for contagious diseases or to investigate their character for criminal backgrounds–WHEN IT SHOULD BE A FELONY LIKE MEXICO AND EVEN INDUSTRIALIZED NATIONS? Liberal judges have sacrificed our citizenship laws, so any pregnant female who gives birth. The baby is automatically granted citizenship. In truth this was meant for slaves after the Civil war when emancipated. This has led to hundreds of thousands of impoverished women, collecting citizen welfare checks, low income housing and a long list of benefits.
But by mandated law, we have to pay for their education, housing, emergency room activities, but also a very large population of foreign nationals branding in our prison system. Everything that is welfare is given to them, whereas American citizens must express a need or are denied, or haunted by debt collectors and bankruptcy. Doesn’t the balance of our laws, seem to be one-sided, that gives the advantage to business who hire them as cheap labor? It’s far too late to blame previous administrations, but the current one run by a majority of liberal Democrats have already crafted a new path to citizenship, for lawbreakers. Why should they get yet another priority when honest foreigners await patiently their turn, to enter on a permanent residency visa? This is not just about immigration as a whole or part, but OVERPOPULATION.
We know that the Sen. Harry Reid’s and Nancy Pelosi’s will lie to the American people and they are well and truly hypocrites. Not so long ago Harry Reid was a zealot against the illegal immigration invasion? To he defies all sense of his loyalty to the American worker, slaughtering and under funding E-Verify. This being a sensible, reliable tool, to eject illegal aliens from the workplace. This crowd of Democrats have allowed an estimated 300.000 illegal aliens to take stimulus jobs, plus used their political influence to impair many new immigration laws, such as abandoning ICE raids. It should be noted, that very few executives who hire illegal immigrants never see a prison cell? Their is little doubt in my mind, that the general public are going to be ignored, when it comes to an imminent AMNESTY E-Verify will be dropped, so will any heavy enforcement at the border, the National guard, so that the current waves of poor people will have easy access to jobs.
Any rumor of AMNESTY will entertain even more millions upon millions skirting the border patrol, hoping to be part of a path to citizenship or BLANKET AMNESTY? You cannot listen to the open border, free trade fanatics, businesses, faith based and radical groups as they all have something to–GAIN– as they are ready to undermine any new laws that enforce immigration law.

Interesting enough is that a relative who lives in Los Angeles observed a E-Verify notice in an El Pollo Loco franchise. So not all businesses must be condemned for being parasitic and putting cheap labor before an American worker?
