"While hundreds of thousands of American construction workers are unemployed, businesses across America continue to employ illegal aliens and will be allowed to use Stimulus money to hire hundreds of thousands more illegal aliens.

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 lobbying the Senate to ensure that illegal aliens have the same access to Stimulus jobs as unemployed Hispanic American citizens."

STUDY: current Senate Stimulus bill would give 300,000 construction jobs to illegal aliens (UNLESS E-VERIFY ADDED) | NumbersUSA - For Lower Immigration Levels

Maybe we could hire some border patrol and ICE agents with the money instead.

Isn't it strange how often that word, illegal, gets glossed over? Something is very wrong if they're here illegally, isn't it? And not only are they here, but they should have the same rights and privileges as citizens? Now there are two things wrong!

They conveniently changed illegal to undocumented. If we were in Mexico illegaly they would not only kick us out , but beat and rob us first.

oh and one more thing.Undocumented (illegal) immigrants make up 13billion of the annual deficiet in California. And why am I receiving an IOU in the mail for my state taxes? When are thes government officials going to stand up and point the finger in the right direction. Afterall, its us the TAXPAYERS , not the illegals ,that pay their enormous salaries.

The Stimulus does not promote illegal employment, only more construction. The fact that illegals are in constuction is nothing new....who do you think built all those houses and retail centers Bush bragged about????

The Heritage Foundation (a right wing think tank) is just trying to link the two so they can smear the stimulus.

I hope those jobs dont go to illegal, oops i mean undocumented immigrants.
If these pro illegal immigrant politicians had roaches in their houses, I wonder if they would exterminate them or instead feed them and allow them to reproduce and later care for the roaches? Maybe if the roaches were paying rent or if they could perhaps even vote.
I look at illegal immigration as an infestation/invasion.

Of course it's ILLEGAL (law passed by, but hardly ever enforced since Reagan) to hire ILLEGAL immigrants. The only ILLEGAL immigrants are those that came here after REAGAN PARDONED those already here. However, if ICE were to show up and start arresting those illegals, the BUSINESS OWNERS (mostly Republicans) would immediately be on the phone with their ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES, who would immediately call ICE and demand that such "selective" enforcement stop.

Let's see, the law that was going to STOP the illegal immigration was passed by REAGAN, who was followed by BUSH Sr. followed by CLINTON, followed by EIGHT MORE YEARS OF BUSH Jr. How come all of those Republicans didn't do SOMETHING?

There is nothing wrong with being ignorant, but I would not advertise if I were you.

American business ownership, by every major study, is proportionate to the political affiliations of its citizens. Since I used some big words, I'll try and make it a little easier: Democrats own businesses proportionate to their percentage of the population. Darn, another big word. Not sure how to dumb it down anymore. Maybe I can just make you a link:

proportionate - definition of proportionate by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.
