Enforcement delayed on immigration law

This year, the Utah legislature by doing nothing, decided to subsidize the cheap labor employers. The costs mentioned above are paid by all Utah taxpayers. The Oklahoma Legislature tried to protect their taxpayers, but the court decided to kiss the toes of the cheap labor employers (Chamber of Commerce, champion of cheap labor).
This is the same as the SF Federal judge disallowing the No-Match letters. The Feds are doing everything they can to protect the illegals, and the employers.
Eight states have passed legislation, so far, mandating that E-Verify will be used by all employers in the state, to vaildate NEW employees: those states are Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, and South Carolina. ALL states need to mandate that E-Verify is used by all employers, to validate ALL employees, not just NEW employees.
The federal government, and ALL states, also need to mandate that E-Verify is used to validate recipients of any type of social welfare, or government grant, and that anyone on these programs presently is re-validated through E-Verify.
ALL states need to mandate that E-Verify is used in the issuance of driver's licenses, and all issued driver's licenses should be re-validated using E-Verify. Only Maryland, New Mexico, Washington, and Hawaii still grant licenses to illegals. Let me know what I missed.
How pathetic is that? Something is going to snap and give way. Soon. Count on it.
Those who steal across our perforated fence, includes the criminal element that think they above above US law. Each day citizens are slain on the roads of America, by drunk illegal drivers. This is far from isolated case, because these accident reports are not necessary revealed by the biased press. Pedestrians have become 'road kill' daily, especially when the victims are innocent children. Do not expect to read about this carnage in the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times. You need to dig deeper in rural newspapers or the e-media on the Internet, to find the unsuppressed facts. Then we have the violent street gangs protected by 'Sanctuary cities' like Los Angeles.
Article IV
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
Immigration is a federal matter. And the sooner we force Congress to get off their butts and fix it the better off we will all be.
Don't make me laugh with your LIES. Road kill? Innocent children every day? Are you serious? How convenient that we don't get a chance to read about it, and that the facts are suppressed. Could it be because these events don't happen? Interesting how you have to resort to fabricating stories to support your weak positions.
The point is not that illegals commit MORE crimes than our home-grown ones...it's that they commit ANY. The point is that they should not be here in the first place and should be prevented from having the opportunity to victimize innocent Americans.
It's kind of like a convicted murderer who gets pardoned and goes out and murders some innocent person the next day. The crime seems so much worse because it could have been prevented.
Immigration laws need to be changed. What is in effect now is a confusing mess. Every Country has different requirements. We have to many different types of Visa's. It also shouldn't take years for Americans to get their immediate family members into the United States. Think about it, you have a foreign born child, or spouse it can take years to bring them here. What's with that.
