Stimulus Bill Lacks E-Verify Checks
Of all the pork barrel spending included in the Economic Stimulus Bill, there is actually something left out. Apparently the Senate dropped a requirement that contractors working on “infrastructure” projects for the Government use E-Verify to assure that their employees aren’t illegal aliens.
Looks like the Senate slipped this one buy the media, hey? Well, they knew about it. There was an article in the Chicago Tribune last week that describes this fact. Wonder why I didn’t hear this on the news? Maybe, they didn’t want me to hear about it. Maybe I would be outraged over it? You bet!

I find this particularly interesting in light of President Obama signing an executive order that requires the contractors that participate in government infrastructure projects hire union labor. Is that talking out of both sides of your mouth or what? When I heard about the executive order the other day I thought it was just Obama paying off the unions that supported him during the presidential campaign, but now, with this, maybe it was just window dressing. Or, I guess the unions can now hire illegal aliens for these new jobs. That assures that the Economic Stimulus will stimulate the economies of Mexico and Central America! Good deal!
People, it time to start a “fire them all” campaign. If we start now we may be ready for the 2010 election cycle. When I say fire them all, I mean, it is time to replace all of our members of Congress and the Senate. I know, there are probably some good ones in there, but a clean sweep is a clean sweep. Let’s get them all out of there and start over. My boss years ago was not a big fan of lawyers. He used to say, “We need to put all the good lawyers on a ship and put all the bad lawyers on a island. Then, nuke the island, and sink the ship just in case.” That’s what we need to do with the Congress and Senate, just get rid of them all!
How can we get this started?
