think the media will not provide over site on obama about the stimulis bill. americans are now figuring out that they made the wrong choice.they can read the bill they know its so fuked up with garbage. obama let nancy pelosi run hog wild on shit we all know wont work to stimulate the eonomy.unemployment rising at a steady clip, the Senate's massive "stimulus" bill aimed at getting Americans back to work fails to include a simple, routine provision requiring contractors that get some of the billions in taxpayer money to verify that the workers they hire are in the United States legally.
American taxpayers are going to pay for every penny of this massive stimulus bill if Congress approves it
"The purpose of the package is to create new jobs for Americans," "One common-sense way to ensure that lawful citizens benefit from the proposal is to require businesses to check a job applicant's legal status."
And that's a simple enough process
The so-called E-Verify system is a free Internet-based system operated by the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration that allows employers to electronically verify that potential employees are U.S. citizens or legal immigrants.
The program, which Republicans got inserted into the House bill, provides instantaneous results and eliminates the ability of illegal aliens to use bogus or stolen social security numbers and tax IDs get work.
But Democratic drafters in the Senate, which has a long history of turning a blind eye to illegal immigration, left the provision out of the legislation.
Sessions, along with Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., have offered an amendment to add the requirement to the nearly $1 trillion spending bill.
In a letter to Senate leaders last week, Sessions and Nelson warned that adding the E-Verify provision to the bill would be a "key factor" in whether either of them could ultimately support the final spending bill.
"The stimulus package is intended to help ease the pain of the current recession and restore growth to our economy," they wrote. "If passed, it will be paid for by the American taxpayers and we believe that Congress should do all it can to ensure that American taxpayers are the intended beneficiaries of its efforts."
Senate Democrats yesterday refused to say why they left the measure out of the bill or how hard they would fight to keep it from being included.
