Demand EIVerify from your elected officials. It's the only way. A half hour on an employers part and we end this mess.
Just show them your Utah driving privilage card. The cops will never know that you are an Illegal Alien.
The Utah legislature passed a new law that removed the legal alien from the driving privilage card and placed them onto the standard Utah drivers license.
Only the Illegal Alien is on the Driving privilage card.
I cannot belive the total incompetence of leadership within the Utah Coalition of La Raza in the continuing stirring up of hysteria in the latin, hispanic community.
They are the ones who have provided the misinformation concerning SB81 calling it a racist bill when nothing of the sort exists.
This American of proud Mexican heritage states that the Coalition of La Raza does not speak for me.
Utahns should not be afraid to call the police, if they know someone is breaking this law. Housing, transportation etc.
Great advice Raza.
Do you keep your leadership positions by creating hysteria amongst the latino population?
No legal resident has anything to fear. Illegals probably do have something to fear. You are going to get caught at some point unless you follow every law and obey every traffic regulation.
Did Mr. Yapias, Mr. Alvarez, Mr. Branch, Ms. Isabel Rojas with Comunidades Unidas, or any other illegal alien advocates specifically tell the audience to cease and desist from using fraudulent documents (felony), from committing perjury on I-9 forms (felony) and from victimizing the tens of thousands of Utah’s children whose identities they are using to get jobs which is also a felony under Utah law.
Read “Illegal, but Not Undocumented: Identity Theft, Document Fraud, and Illegal Employment” for more information on these pervasive illegal alien crimes and the role that illegal alien advocates play in justifying and facilitating this culture of corruption. It can be found on the Center for Immigration Studies website.
Immigration is a NATIONAL issue, and the LOCAL police are good enough to recognize that there are/should remain limits to their jurisdiction. It's too bad the NATIONAL gov't is too scared to do anything real about it. The reason it's so easy to become illegal here is not b/c of the borders, but b/c of the fact that we have no nat'l ID card. As a result, we use Driver's Licenses as if they were nat'l ID cards. Yet, the requirement to get a Driver's License is one of residence and not legal status. So, we have this big mess. Fix what's inside first, then we can worry about the borders.
Also, there are plenty of illegals who come here legally. They let their status expire and then become illegal. There is a lot more to this than most people realize.
It seems that the legal Hispanic folks view the illegal aliens as their brothers and sisters and help them hide from authorities. Also, during this economic downturn the legal/or citizen ethnic Hispanics are providing shelter, money and other support which enables the illegal aliens to remain here. The unemployment of illegal aliens, which can only be guessed at, is far higher than for those here legally.
Once again "Illegal Alien" is not a race because they made up from every race and come from every continent. It does seem though, that Mexicans have the biggest claim on this moniker, since they make up by far the largest group of "Illegal Aliens."
Anyone who feels they shouldn't HAVE to be fearful of U.S. law obviously has no respect for it!
I work in public safety, These "Illegal aliens" are hard working good people who just want the same things that we have. Do we have more right to this land because our "pioneer ancestors"(another word for illegal aliens) stole this land from Mexico and the indians. You have to hate these people for being on our land before we got here.
Criminals? We are the criminals. We spend our time building fences to keep them out, instead of fixing the system to let them in and contribute.
We look down our noses at them while we pay them slave labor to pick our crops. Do you Irish, Black, Mormon etc. forget how this felt.
Racism has no place in you professed christians.
Any LDS member who supports this bill is putting his bigotry before his faith and his fence sitting days are drawing to and end. These beautiful people are the ones that your Book of Mormon tells you about. Read it.
The drain on our society is the white trash. I know, I deal with all day every day. Don't confuse your racism for good legislation. These people are here to stay...God willing.(HE IS).
