Knowing how many Americans have lost their jobs, Senate leaders did not give permission for a vote on a Stimulus Bill amendment that would keep illegal foreign workers from getting jobs created by taxpayer money. How many Americans have to lose their jobs before this madness instigated by the likes of Pelosi, Boxer, Feinstein, Menendez, and Reid stops? The House-passed stimulus bill contained language to bar employment of illegal immigrants in stimulus funded projects, but the Senate deliberately took it out. The Heritage Foundation has released an estimate that the Senate version of the stimulus bill will provide jobs for 300,000 illegal aliens. This travesty could mostly be eliminated by simply requiring all recipients of stimulus money to use the E-Verify system like the House bill did. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, while lobbying the Senate to exclude E-verify from the stimulus package, ran articles distorting the truth about the best system the government has ever produced. The articles said that E-verify incorrectly identifies legal workers as illegal. This is an outright lie. After millions of uses over the past twelve years, not one case of this happening has ever been identified. It has been illegal to hire illegal aliens since 1986 when an amnesty brought our illegal population close to zero, but now, we have an estimated 7.7 million illegal foreign workers in jobs. Obviously just saying that it's illegal doesn't work and this valuable tool, paid for by taxpayer dollars, should be used. The Senate stimulus bill will fund over $100 billion in new government construction projects with the goal of providing additional jobs to unemployed Americans. The government's own estimate is that one out of every seven persons hired to work in construction is an illegal alien. Government estimates indicate that each $1 billion spent on construction will create around 19,500 construction jobs, each lasting a year and this bill will create construction temporay jobs for about 2.04 million workers. Thiis means that approximately 300,000 jobs will go to illegal workers if E-verify is not used. The Chamber of Commerce and the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops are lobbying the Senate to ensure that businesses can use Stimulus money to hire illegal aliens. Nearly every national Hispanic advocacy group is also lobbying the Senate to ensure that illegal aliens have the same access to Stimulus jobs as unemployed Hispanic American citizens. T he Senate chose to keep this important prevention measure out of the bill, but Americans can still force its use. Requiring every government and business to run new hires through E-Verify is absolutely necessary if Americans and legal immigrants are to get the new jobs being created in the face of devasting losses in our employment ranks.
