I appreciate the change. However, many people simply scan headlines and don’t read the body of the report. Headlines draw readers to the report.

The change of one word radically changes the tenor of the headline. Thanks again.

Lauri,
That $148 million figure is based on a national organization’s calculations. You can’t find it in a budget line-item like with other headlines that mention dollar amount. That’s why it wasn’t chosen as the headline for the story.

“Anti-immigration”? How about “anti-ILLEGAL immigration”? Jorgenson’s plan has nothing to do with legal immigrants. The headline reveals the addled progressive stance that there is no such thing as an illegal immigrant.

Also, employing the phrase “penalize employers” makes it sound as though this plan would somehow be unfair to employers instead of justly punishing them for knowingly hiring border-crossing lawbreakers who steal jobs from Americans.

Knock off the advocacy journalism, IdahoReporter or you will lose this reader.

Mr. Jorgenson is making sweeping legislative changes for the State of Idaho that need to be done. I applaud his proposals that will provide jobs for U.S. citizens and remove the incentive for everyone to break the law.

Washington in 1986 introduced the I-9-form. to ensure that all employees presented documentary proof of their legal eligibility to accept employment in the United States. But just like most immigration forms, they don’t achieve the enforcement needed? The USCIS Form I-94 or I-95 that a individual gives to an Agent when arriving in the United States at a land border port-of-entry or from an airline or ship is a document that is easily compromised. Even though the arrival has been approved by an USCIS inspector to prove that you arrived in the country legally, their is no efficient way to know that person has left the country. It’s just like E-Verify currently that has been introduced, it doesn’t go far enough. An amendment should be introduced that makes the law MANDATORY, with no business entity slipping through the cracks. Since then the whole system has been corrupted by our own politicians in collusion with certain parasite leaders in the business world. The whole system of legal immigration has become unstable, with far reaching effects on American men and women and those who entered the country legally.

The newspapers and other sources have brainwashed with a number of 12 million illegal immigrants in this nation, but this number is far from the truth. The actual number calculated by the financial institution Bear Stearns is somewhere between 20 and 30 million, which accounts for those entering illegally through our sovereign border, and those people who intentionally overstayed their entry visas. The three major components of immigration control–impediment, detainment and deportation–need to be strengthened by Senate-House and the Executive Branch if effective control is ever to be reestablished. As of today this has never happened or even meant to happen. As long as politicians pander to open border organizations and business lobbyists nothing will ever change. We need to amend the 1986 program to end illegal immigration; that means ensuring that people who enter illegally or overstay their lawful status will not be able to obtain jobs, public entitlement benefits, public education, public housing, or any other taxpayer-funded benefit without detection. E-Verify can achieve this as it modified for use by state, county and local government. Our government already exacts a toll on the Highly skilled US worker, by importing an average of 1.5 million foreign job seekers annually.

EVEN WORSE WITH A MOSTLY LIBERAL SUPREME COURT DENYING UNDER “FREE SPEECH” THAT LOBBYISTS WITH THEIR MONEY CAN CORRUPT OUR GOVERNMENT. THAT EVEN FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS CAN DISTRACT OUR LAWMAKERS WITH MAJOR CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE NO CHANCE TO SURVIVE UNDER THIS CORPORATE ONSLAUGHT. Simply put, lobbyists can spend millions of dollars in advertising for or against politicians, if they don’t like the way they voted on issues? This means WALL STREET still runs our government. THE PEOPLE’S ONLY CHANCE IS A MANDATORY LAW, THAT ANY SOURCES OF MONEY MUST BE COMPLETELY OPEN TO PUBLIC VIEWING–WITHOUT ANY OPTION.

WE have already seen how our politicians have been manipulated by private enterprise, in slowing down immigration enforcement. Both E-Verify has been compromised with lies, as with the local policing program 287 (G). Even the ICE raids have fallen off somewhat, because of the promise of yet another AMNESTY.
It is now up to public opinion to thwart any chance of AMNESTY, as it means another obstacle in the way of survival for American workers and their families. E-Verify is being improved in the coming months, with less irregularities and less need for an American worker to be in competition for jobs. E-Verify is included in the SAVE ACT and must remain fully funded, so that it inhibits illegal workers.
