15% of the Jobs Created Under the Stimulus Bill Will go to Illegal Immigrants
If we take the president at his word, and it is getting harder and harder to do so every day, and his stimulus package actually creates the 2 million jobs that he claims it will a fairly large percentage of those jobs will go to illegal aliens.
That is the claim being made in this article. As many as 300,000, or 15%, of the projected jobs that will be created will go to people who do not belong here.
Studies by two conservative think tanks estimate immigrants in the United States illegally could take 300,000 construction jobs, or 15% of the 2 million jobs that new taxpayer-financed projects are predicted to create.
Employers, thanks to the senate, will not have to verify the status of immigrants who apply for these jobs. The original bill passed by the house would have required employers to verify the citizenship of potential employees but this was stripped out in the senate compromise bill that the president signed.
The unemployment rate is rising every day, there are millions of Americans who are unemployed and the number continues to grow, the least that the president could have done with this bill is to make sure that the jobs that are created under this bill at go to unemployed AMERICANS, but he is too concerned with how he appears to the illegals who are now going to take jobs that Americans should be getting.
The hits just keep on coming with this bill, don’t they? Just when you think that this bill can’t get worse, it does.
But Jorge-Mario Cabrera, of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles claims that this is nothing but fear-mongering:
Those are fear tactics. … ‘The immigrants are here to take your job,’ ” Cabrera said. “I think that we really should be focusing on economic progress for all”
So let me see if I have this straight. The idea that employers don’t have to verify the immigration status of the people who apply for the jobs created under the stimulus package, and that because of this statistics show that 15% of the people who gain employment under the stimulus package are probably going to be here illegally, we are just fear-mongering. Illegal immigrants are going to take 15% of the jobs that should go to Americans but they aren’t here to take our jobs?
Jorge-Mario Cabrera thinks that instead of fear-mongering we should be focusing on “economic progress for all,” I feel that we should be focusing on progress for all…..AMERICANS.
America's Watchtower 
You know that the lack of immigration status checks is not an oversight. I’m sure that someone brought the issue up and was promptly shot down (oh wait, the republicans did not get a voice in it’s creation; my bad).

Not only was it not an oversight it was part of the plan all along.

I agree with much you have said, but feel the President’s Stimulus package must be enhanced and increased:

the Stimulus Bill Will go
to Illegal Immigrants
Wow isn’t this a real slap in the face to the Americans? ILLEGAL ALIENS have no right to be in this Country.
Now I can’t say the ILLEGAL ALIENS are completely to blame for the shape of our economy, but they are a BIG part of the problem. The ILLEGAL ALIENS send BILLIONS upon BILLIONS out of this Country every year, money we will NEVER see again. Does this help our economy?
How about the BILLIONS the American taxpayers fork out for the ANCHOR BABIES, the schooling of them, the medical care and the list goes on, and on, and on.
How about the MILLIONS upon MILLIONS paid to jail ILLEGAL ALIENS for the crimes, then the cost to deport them. Does this help our economy?
Then you have these activist groups, the Catholic Church and the ACLU that want AMNESTY for these ILLEGAL ALIENS. It would be absolute suicide for this Country if AMNESTY were granted to the 20 million or so ILLEGAL ALIENS. We have more and more people out of work everyday and they want to add another 20 million to this Country? I say, “NO”!
If AMNESTY were ever granted to these 20 million ILLEGAL ALIENS, you can bet big money that 3 years from now, there would be ANOTHER 3-5 million ILLEGAL ALIENS demonstrating on our soil for AMNESTY.
An end MUST come to this illegal immigration. The perfect tool we have so far is E-Verify. It MUST be used by ALL businesses and Government Social Services. EVERY employee must be checked! If they are illegal, they are to be dismissed!
I believe it is time for all 50 States to pass a State law, like Arizona, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Missouri, South Carolina and a few others. It is time for these ILLEGAL ALIENS to go back to their home Country and get out of this Country. The problems they are causing will not go away until the ILLEGAL ALIENS are out of this Country. I think that is plain to see.
THIS COUNTRY WILL NEVER GET BACK ON IT’S FEET AS LONG AS ILLEGAL ALIENS ARE IN THIS COUNTRY NO MATTER HOW MANY TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS WE SPEND!
